Fire Magic Choice C430s 24-Inch In-Ground Post-Mount Gas Grill
Fire MagicC430s-G6 Overview
The Fire Magic Choice C430s-G6 is the permanent-install version of the Choice C430s, with a stainless steel post designed to be set into a poured concrete footing. The grill head is identical to the patio post-mount C430s-P6: 432 square inches of cooking area, 46,000 BTU, two U-shaped tubular stainless steel burners. Choice is Fire Magic's entry-tier line, sharing the same 304 stainless steel housing, Diamond Sear cooking grids, and double-walled hood as the Aurora and Echelon Diamond series, but with simpler U-shaped tubular burners (vs. cast "E" burners), a satin facade (vs. polished or black-glass), Rapid Light ignition (vs. hot surface), and no optional features.
Choose the in-ground post-mount when you have an existing concrete pad or are pouring fresh footings as part of a landscape or pool-deck install. Like the patio version, this model includes a 1-hour stainless steel timer mounted on the post and a stainless steel gas flex connector. Plan your gas line stub-out location before pouring the concrete; the post must be set in fresh concrete so it cannot be relocated easily later. The grill is configurable at order only by fuel type: natural gas or propane, both at the same MSRP. There is no thermometer, backburner, IR, or window choice to make. Ship times are typically faster than the Aurora and Echelon lines because the SKU set is far smaller and stock is more readily available.
