Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E660i 30-Inch Built-In Gas Grill

The Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E660i starts with a fact that sets the tone: its cast stainless steel burners have walls a full 1/4-inch thick. That is not an accident — it is a deliberate choice in a grill built to hold heat evenly, resist corrosion, and outlast the deck it sits on. The entire chassis is 304 stainless steel, the grade specified when longevity actually matters.

Two main burners produce a combined 50,000 BTUs across a 30-inch by 22-inch primary cooking surface — 660 square inches in total. Add the 288-square-inch warming rack (30 inches wide, 8 inches deep) and you have substantial real estate for managing a full spread without shuffling food around in frustration. The patented Diamond Sear cooking grids are what give this grill its name: the grid geometry is engineered to produce defined sear marks while channeling drippings efficiently, so you get the crust without the flare-up.

On the left side, a dedicated infrared burner puts out 25,000 BTUs — the kind of concentrated, radiant heat that gets a cast iron pan genuinely ready in short order, or handles anything that benefits from intense, direct surface heat. The rear 11,000 BTU backburner is paired with a heavy-duty rotisserie kit included in the box, so the capability is there from day one without an additional purchase.

Ignition is handled by a hot surface system with a flash tube backup — the sort of redundancy you appreciate on a cold evening when you would rather not be troubleshooting. Three interior halogen lights mean visibility inside the cooking chamber is not a guess after sundown. The black glass control panel houses an analog thermometer with a 1000°F maximum range, so hood temperature is always legible at a glance without batteries or Bluetooth.

The double-walled hood is spring-assisted and opens to a full 90 degrees, staying put without requiring a hand to hold it. Cutout dimensions are 31¼ inches wide by 23½ inches deep by 11½ inches tall. For builders and designers, the E660i is also compatible with the 660-SC24 cart base for conversion to a freestanding configuration, and an optional Magic View Window is available as an accessory. The grill requires a 120 VAC connection for ignition and lighting functions.

At $8,825, the Echelon Diamond E660i occupies the tier of built-in grills where the specifications are genuinely justified — not aspirational marketing copy. Every material choice and BTU figure in this listing reflects what is actually in the product.
