LOVE this suana. Maya and Norse Steam Team were amazing to work with!
An outdoor warming drawer holds the first batch off the grill warm and ready while the rest of your meal cooks. You can also use it for sides or plates before you serve. This collection includes four electric drawers that build into an island: two from Fire Magic, one from Summerset and one from Wildfire. The other two listings are a buffet insert for Fire Magic drawers and a Videl food warmer that uses gel fuel instead of electricity.

How to choose an outdoor warming drawer
Start with power and placement. An electric warming drawer sits under the counter and needs an outlet inside the island. Check the listing for the required cutout before choosing a width. Summerset's drawer is 36 inches wide. The electric drawers are sealed against weather, but keep the wiring dry. If power is not handy, Videl's stainless steel warmer runs on gel chafing fuel.
Next, compare how the drawer meets the island front. Fire Magic offers an outside-mounted option with moisture vents and precise temperature control. Its flush-mounted option closes level with the frame and has an insulated body, soft close and a continuous rain guard. Summerset has full extension slides for access to the contents.
For larger meals, Fire Magic's buffet insert adds stainless containers and lids to a compatible drawer. Plan nearby storage drawers for utensils, and compare island doors and cabinets for the remaining space. Include outdoor refrigeration for food that needs to stay cold.

FAQ
What is a warming drawer used for?
You use it to hold cooked food at serving temperature without drying it out. Keep burgers warm while the next batch cooks, or hold bread and sides while a roast rests. Summerset's drawer can also warm towels.
How hot does an outdoor warming drawer get?
Summerset's drawer heats up to about 230 degrees. These drawers are meant to hold cooked food, not cook a meal. Fire Magic's outside-mounted drawer has precise temperature control and moisture vents to help manage crisp or moist foods.
Does an outdoor warming drawer need electricity?
Yes, the four built-in drawers are electric and need an outlet inside the island. They draw power only while switched on. If you have no power nearby, Videl's food warmer uses gel chafing fuel and needs no outlet.
