Fire Magic Echelon Gas Grill Review

Uncompromising heat and superb cooking control make the Fire Magic Echelon gas grill stand out from the crowd. Similar to it’s smaller stable mate Aurora the Echelon boasts the cast “E” burner system that gives you control together with a uniform spread of heat. Hot and cold spots become a thing of the past.

Practically speaking there’s some neat ideas gone into the Echelon such as a handy storage space for your rotisserie bar and a multi sensor digital thermometer. The Echelon also has a wood chip smoke drawer with an independent burner so you can smoke on this unit too.

And wait for it! – If you’re the supreme barbecue chef poseur the top of the range 1060 even has a power cooking hood. Just push the remote control button and watch your gadget pals laugh in amazement.

Over and above what I’ve mentioned so far, the full data spec includes:-

Two independent push button, glow-plug style, solid state electronic ignition systems
Heat zone separators so you can run different parts of the grill at a variety of temperatures
Spring assisted “Feather-Lite” double-walled hood (for those that can’t afford a power hood!)
Stainless steel infrared rotisserie backburner(s) recessed to create a larger cooking area
Heavy-duty spit roasting kit that’s capable of turning 25 kilos or 60 lbs
Built-in angled halogen lights with auto shut-off for night time grilling
Stainless steel rod cooking grids for a durable non stick surface
Stainless steel warming rack

The different sizes available are:-

E660 provides 660 sq inches of cooking area
E790 provides 792 sq inches of cooking area
E1060 provides 1056 sq inches of cooking area

If this is all too much for you then there are two ranges with slightly lower specifications, there’s the entry level Legacy range backed up by the slightly more sophisticated Aurora .
