Fire Magic 30 inch In Ground Post Mount Accessible Analog Electric Grill: knob controls within a seated cook’s reach
The Fire Magic 30 inch In Ground Post Mount Accessible Analog Electric Grill is a 30 inch post mount electric grill. Post mount means the grill head sits on a stainless steel post with a shelf on each side, set in a concrete footing in the ground. Accessible means the grates sit 32 inches high instead of 37, so a seated cook or a wheelchair user can reach the food and the knobs. Fire Magic builds it in the USA from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors. Electric means it heats with elements under the grates, with no gas line and no flame, so it can go where gas is not allowed. It gives you about 480 square inches of cooking space plus a warming rack.
The grates are Diamond Sear grids, thick stainless steel bars with a flat top for clean sear marks. It needs its own 240 volt circuit run up through the post, so plan on an electrician. Analog means a temperature knob and a one hour timer knob instead of a touch screen, and it reaches 650 degrees. Keep it out of open rain, since it is electric.

FAQ
What does the in-ground accessible post involve?
The AG series sets the post in the ground at the accessible 32 inch height to the shelf tops, rather than the standard 37 inches, so a seated cook can reach the grid. The post manual calls for a hole 18 inches left to right, 12 inches front to back and 18 1/2 inches deep, and the wiring can run up through the post from underground.
How is the analog grill controlled?
A TEMP knob sets the thermostat up to 650 degrees F and a TIMER knob, good for up to one hour, auto-rotates back and shuts the elements off when time runs out; the manual says to turn it past 20 minutes to activate shorter cooks. A red LED shows when the elements are on. There is no touch screen, app or meat probe on this version.
What electrical feed does it need?
A dedicated 240 volt, 30 amp minimum single-phase GFCI circuit breaker feeding the junction box behind the post’s access plate, through 10 AWG or larger conductors in conduit or direct-burial cable per local code, with a disconnect the cook can reach. The manual requires a licensed electrician to make the connection.
How much cooking space is there?
The page lists 480 square inches of grilling space on patented Diamond Sear cooking grids, with a 30 by 5 inch removable warming rack under a double-walled 304 stainless lid. Preheat at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. See more Fire Magic electric grills here.
What comes with the in-ground grill?
The grill head with analog TEMP and TIMER knobs, the in-ground post base with its extension for setting in concrete, two rigid stainless shelves, the drip tray and the double-walled lid, per the post manual’s parts list. There is no countertop cutout; the post is set in the footing hole and the 240 volt feed runs up inside it.
Can it be used in the rain?
No. The manual says never to grill in open rain or standing water because it is an electric appliance, and never to burn charcoal in it. Cover the grill between uses, and clean the grids by running the grill at 650 degrees F with the hood closed for 10 to 15 minutes.
