Fire Magic Aurora A790i 36-Inch Built-In Grill, 304 Stainless Steel

The Fire Magic Aurora A790i starts with a foundation most grills don't bother with: 1/4-inch-thick cast 304 stainless steel E-burners, each engineered to deliver even, consistent heat across all 792 square inches of patented Diamond Sear cooking surface. That's not a marketing shape — the diamond grid geometry is a Fire Magic patent, designed to maximize sear contact and flavor development simultaneously.

At 90,000 BTU across the main burners and a dedicated 20,000 BTU infrared backburner, the A790i's 110,000 total BTU output is built for both high-heat searing and the kind of rotisserie performance that justifies the included rotisserie kit. The infrared backburner isn't an add-on you'll order later — it ships with the grill, ready to go.

The double-walled 304 stainless steel hood opens a full 90 degrees and is spring-assisted, so it stays exactly where you put it without requiring a third hand. Inside, halogen lighting means you're not guessing at doneness after sunset, and the analog thermometer — housed in a polished stainless steel bezel and rated to 1,000°F — gives you a real-time read on hood temperature without batteries or Bluetooth pairing.

Ignition is handled by a hot surface electronic system running on 120V AC, which means no piezo clicking, no finicky spark igniters — just reliable, consistent light-up every time. The seamless satin-finish control panel and comfort touch knobs keep the aesthetic clean and the tactile experience dialed in, even when your hands are occupied with tongs.

Below the cooking surface, 16-gauge stainless steel flavor grids vaporize drippings and redirect them back as flavor, functioning as both a heat diffuser and a practical grease management layer. The warming rack adds 288 sq. in. (36" x 8") of secondary space for bread, sides, or anything that needs to stay warm without continuing to cook.

Cut-out dimensions are 37" W x 23.5" D x 11.5" H — identical to the unit's external dimensions — which simplifies island planning considerably. The A790i is compatible with Fire Magic GFRC islands, the 790-SC24 portable cart base, and RHP venting panels (PN 5510-01), making it a natural anchor for a full outdoor kitchen build. Aurora series accessory compatibility extends across the A790i, A660i, A540i, and A430i families, so future additions or replacements don't require starting from scratch.

Natural gas supply requires 7" water column (standard), with an acceptable range of 5"–10" WC. At $8,560, the A790i is priced at the level its materials and output warrant — not aspirationally, but accurately.
