The Fire Magic Echelon Drop-In Gas Grill is a new solution created by the brand with low-profile exterior design aesthetics in mind to position it as the ultimate model for stylish exterior spaces. The unit is engineered to be dropped into outdoor kitchen countertops where it will go to work offering level access to an expansive cooking area. The barbecue is designed to look like a countertop cooktop rather than a conventional freestanding barbecue to maximize its ability to blend in with its surroundings.
The Fire Magic Echelon Drop-In Gas Grill is paired with a black glass-accented control panel alongside an analog thermometer to allow for monitoring without opening the lid. The unit is crafted out of premium stainless steel to maximize durability.
