Fire Magic Choice C540i 30-Inch Built-In Gas Grill

C540i Overview

The Fire Magic Choice C540i is the standard 30-inch Choice built-in and the most popular size in Fire Magic's most affordable premium line. With 540 square inches of cooking area and 60,000 BTU from three tubular stainless steel U-shaped burners, the C540i fits the same 32-inch wide cutout as the Aurora A540i but at a substantially lower price. 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.

The C540i is the right choice when island width allows a 30-inch grill but the budget calls for skipping Aurora's premium features. There is no backburner, IR sear, or window option on Choice. What you see is what ships. Rapid Light push-to-light ignition means no batteries to replace and no 120V outlet required. 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.
