Fire Magic EL500s 30" Electric Grill on 32" Accessible In-Ground Post with Analog Controls

The Fire Magic EL500s-0Z1E-AG mounts the 30-inch EL500 electric grill head on a stainless steel post with a shelf on each side, set into the ground with an 18-inch extension below grade. It stands at a 32-inch shelf height, a reduced accessible height with a side-mounted hood handle, helpful for cooks who grill from a seated position. Instead of a touchscreen, this version uses a thermostatic analog temperature knob, a 1-hour timer, a red status light and a power button on the front panel, a simple setup for cooks who prefer physical controls.

Because it runs on electricity, it suits balconies, decks, condos and communities where gas is unavailable or open-flame grills are restricted (check your building or HOA rules first). The grill is hardwired by a licensed electrician to its own 240-volt, 30-amp GFCI breaker, with wiring routed up through the post from underground or straight to the rear junction box.
