Fire Magic 30 inch Patio Post Mount Electric Grill with Single Control: one heat setting across the whole grate
The Fire Magic 30 inch Patio Post Mount Electric Grill with Single Control 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, on a base plate that bolts to a patio or a deck. 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, so plan on an electrician. Single control means one thermostat runs the whole grate at one heat, up to 700 degrees. A touch screen sets the heat, reads the included meat probe, and connects to your phone through the app. Keep it out of open rain, since it is electric. Want two heat zones?

FAQ
How tall is the single-control patio post grill?
It is the standard-height P6 post, 37 inches to the shelf tops per the EL500 post manual, roughly 43 1/2 inches with the lid closed and 57 7/8 inches open according to the Fire Magic spec guide, on a 30 1/4 inch base plate. A 32 inch accessible version is listed separately.
What does single control mean?
One thermostat governs the whole 30 by 16 inch grid, so all 480 square inches hold one set temperature up to 700 degrees F. The touch screen sets it and the page notes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi control from a smartphone; a meat probe is included. Two-zone versions are separate listings.
What electrical feed does it need?
A dedicated 240 volt, 30 amp minimum single-phase GFCI circuit breaker. The post manual allows the wiring to come up through the base from underground or through conduit into the junction box behind the post’s rear access plate, with 10 AWG or larger conductors and an accessible disconnect. Have an electrician run it.
How is the base secured?
The base plate must be anchored to a hard, level surface before use with the lag shields and lag screws supplied in the manual’s hardware kit; the manual warns anchoring is required to prevent tipping. Two rigid shelves mount on the post below the grill. See more electric grills here.
What is included with the post?
The EL500 post manual’s parts list includes the grill head, the patio post base with its lag hardware kit, two rigid stainless shelves that mount below the grill, the junction box and the meat probe. The Specifications tab lists the 30 by 16 inch grid, 30 by 5 inch warming rack and the 240 volt, 30 amp circuit; no countertop cutout is involved.
Can it stay outside in the rain?
It is an outdoor grill, but the manual says never to grill in open rain or standing water because it is electric, and never to burn charcoal in it. Cover it when idle and keep the drip tray in place.
