Fire Magic Choice 650 Contemporary Island: a concrete island sized for the Choice C650i grill
The Fire Magic Choice 650 Contemporary Island is an 82 inch outdoor kitchen island cast in concrete, with the cutouts sized for Fire Magic’s 36 inch Choice C650i grill. It is glass fiber reinforced concrete, concrete cast with glass fibers and an acrylic binder, so it is lighter than poured concrete and flexes instead of cracking. It comes in sections and goes together on site on a hard, level pad. The base has a textured Smoke gray finish and the counter is polished black concrete. It is 82 inches wide, 31 inches deep, and counter height. Fire Magic makes the island in the USA, and the doors and drawers that go into it are 304 stainless steel. Beside the grill are bays for a power burner, a double drawer, a low pair of doors, and an end bay for a single door, tank door, or trash cabinet. It is Fire Magic’s smallest island, for a patio where a 115 inch run would not fit.
The price is for the island only: the grill, the burner, and the doors and drawers that fill the bays are picked on the page, each at its own price. The timer box shuts the grill’s gas off by itself after an hour. Plan for a gas line and an outlet where the grill goes. Planning around an Echelon or Aurora grill instead? See the Fire Magic Contemporary Island System with Double Drawer. The Fire Magic Choice 650 Contemporary Island ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What grill is this island made for?
The 36-inch Choice C650i built-in grill, which is why the page calls it the Choice 650 island. Add the grill with the Choose a 36 Inch Built-In Grill selector, choose natural gas or propane, and optionally add the Aurora power burner through its selector; the island’s cutouts are sized for those units.
How big is it?
The Specifications tab lists 82 inches wide, 31 inches deep and 37 inches high, a GFRC base in the textured Smoke finish with a polished GFRC Black countertop. That makes it the most compact of the Fire Magic contemporary islands, sized for a grill plus a drawer, doors and a right-hand bay.
What else do I need to order?
The page lists a double drawer, reduced-height double access doors, a right-hand item, either a vertical single door, a door with tank tray and louvers or a trash cabinet, and a double timer box. All are selectors on this page with Flush or Select series versions, so you can complete the island in one order.
What is the island made of?
Glass fiber reinforced concrete, which the description says gains its strength from alkali-resistant glass fiber and acrylic polymer so it flexes without cracking. It is assembled on site from sections and gives a concrete look that suits most backyards. Browse other BBQ islands here.
Can I put a different grill in it?
The page specifies the C650i, and the cutouts match that grill’s 37 3/4 inch opening and the Choice control panel. Other 36-inch Fire Magic grills such as the Echelon E790i use a different cutout, so choose the contemporary 115-inch or 36-inch islands listed for those models instead.
