Know before you buy
The Diamond Sear grids are designed with a larger surface area to capture and transfer more heat directly to your food. This creates professional-grade sear marks while ensuring more even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
Yes, the grill uses a 110v hot surface ignition system. You will need access to a standard outdoor electrical outlet to power the ignition and the back-lit control knobs.
The Flavor Grids are positioned directly above the burners to catch drippings. As these drippings vaporize, they infuse your food with a smoky flavor while simultaneously shielding the burners to significantly reduce flare-ups.
The Fire Magic Aurora A540s is configured for a specific fuel type at the factory. You should select either the propane or natural gas model at the time of purchase, as they are not designed to be field-converted.
The double-walled construction provides superior heat retention and insulation. This allows the grill to maintain consistent temperatures even in cooler weather and protects the exterior stainless steel from discoloration due to high heat.
While it is classified as a portable tabletop unit, it is a heavy-duty, high-performance grill made of thick stainless steel. It is best suited for a sturdy, dedicated outdoor kitchen island or a heavy-duty cart rather than frequent transport.
