Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E790i 36-Inch Built-In Gas Grill
Fire MagicE790i Overview
The Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E790i is the most popular size in the Echelon Diamond family for residential outdoor kitchens. With 792 square inches across a 36-inch primary cooking area and 90,000 BTU from three cast stainless steel burners, the E790i hits the sweet spot for cooks who want serious capacity without committing to the 48-inch flagship footprint. Echelon Diamond is the top tier of Fire Magic's three lines (Echelon, Aurora, Choice) and includes every premium feature in the catalog as standard: cast stainless steel "E" burners with lifetime warranty, patented Diamond Sear cooking grids, hot surface ignition, recessed infrared backburner with full rotisserie kit, modern black glass control panel, and angled halogen interior lights.
The E790i ships with a single 13,000 BTU recessed infrared backburner with a dedicated rotisserie kit. The 22-inch deep firebox (matching the E1060i and E660i) provides full rear clearance for rotisserie cooking and the deepest warming rack in the Echelon series at 8 inches. The grill is configurable at order time across four axes: fuel type (natural gas or propane), thermometer (analog or digital underglass with Bluetooth), Magic View Window (optional, priced upgrade), and infrared sear burner in the left-hand position (no-charge factory option). Choose the combination that fits your build, and the matching factory-assembled SKU ships in a single carton.
