Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E660i Built-In Gas Grill, 660 sq in

The Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E660i is built in the USA from 304 stainless steel — the same alloy you'll find in commercial kitchens — and it's engineered to perform like it knows that. At 660 square inches of main cooking surface (30" W x 22" D), there's room to run a full spread without playing spatial Tetris with your proteins.

Two cast stainless steel burners with quarter-inch-thick walls combine for 50,000 BTUs of primary heat, joined by a 25,000-BTU infrared searing burner on the left side that gets hot enough to produce a genuine restaurant-quality crust. A dedicated 11,000-BTU infrared backburner handles rotisserie duty — and the heavy-duty rotisserie kit is included, not an afterthought add-on. Total output: 75,000 BTUs across the main cooking zone.

The patented Diamond Sear cooking grids are a defining detail of the Echelon line. Their geometry is designed to maximize contact with food while channeling drippings onto the 16-gauge stainless steel flavor grids below, where heat zone separators keep things organized and efficient. The result is more consistent searing and more deliberate smoke than a conventional grid arrangement allows.

Ignition is handled by a hot surface system with a flash tube backup — the kind of redundancy that makes sense on a grill at this level. The modern black glass control panel features back-lit knobs, and the digital touchscreen thermometer with its underglass electronic display connects via Bluetooth so you can monitor cooking temperatures remotely. Halogen interior lighting means the party doesn't have to stop when the sun does.

The double-walled hood is spring-assisted and opens a full 90 degrees, staying out of your way while you work. The adjustable warming rack (30" W x 8" D) can be repositioned or moved aside entirely depending on what you're cooking. Underneath, a large drip tray runs on ball bearing glides and accepts a disposable drip pan — cleanup is not a dramatic event.

Power requirements are 120 VAC for ignition and lighting, so plan your outdoor kitchen rough-in accordingly. The E660i is compatible with the optional Magic View Window, which lets you monitor what's happening inside without lifting the hood and losing heat. It can also be paired with optional double side burners (models 32816 or 32817), double access doors (53934SC), a double drawer (53802SC), vertical access doors (53920SC-L or 53920SC-R), or the 660-SC24 portable cart base if a freestanding configuration suits your space better.

At $9,498, the E660i is a considered investment in a piece of outdoor cooking equipment that's built to last, made domestically, and specified without compromise. If you're planning a serious outdoor kitchen build, this is a grill worth building around.
