Fire Magic Deluxe Classic Drop In Grill: a gas grill that lowers into your countertop
The Fire Magic Deluxe Classic Drop In Grill is a 24 inch drop in gas grill. Drop in means it lowers into an opening in the countertop from above and hangs from its rim, so it sits low and flush in the island. This entry line model suits homeowners with a masonry island. Fire Magic builds it in the USA from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors. Two cast stainless steel burners give 42,000 BTUs, and they are so thick that Fire Magic guarantees them for life. It gives you about 370 square inches of cooking space, plus a warming rack above the grates for holding finished food.
Flavor grids under them catch the drippings and turn them into smoke, so flare ups are rare. It lights with a spark from a single AAA battery, so it needs no outlet. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. Need a wider, shallower body? See the Fire Magic Deluxe Gourmet Drop In Grill. The Fire Magic Deluxe Classic Drop In Grill ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How does a drop-in grill install?
The Deluxe Classic lowers into a cutout from above and is supported by the stainless steel hanger around its upper edge, per the manual, rather than sliding in from the front. The cutout is 24 1/4 inches wide, 19 1/4 inches deep and 12 inches high, and the Fire Magic spec guide lists a drop-in insulating liner and trim kit for combustible enclosures.
How much cooking area does it have?
The primary grid is 23 by 16 inches, or 368 square inches, with a 23 by 8 inch warming rack above it. The Features tab describes a heavy-gauge dual-position warming rack 12 inches deep for holding or low and slow cooking.
What kind of burners does it use?
The Features tab lists cast stainless steel burners: quarter-inch thick cast 304 stainless weighing up to 12 pounds each, with a protective lip above the ports and a lifetime warranty. Together they deliver 42,000 BTUs, and flavor grids beneath the cooking grids vaporize drippings to limit flare-ups.
What clearances does the manual require?
Eighteen inches from combustible materials in all directions, 4 inches to a non-combustible rear wall or backsplash, and no use under combustible overhead construction; under a non-combustible cover the manual highly recommends an exhaust hood. Compare other natural gas grills here.
Natural gas or propane?
Both. Pick the fuel on the Gas Type selector before adding to cart; the model number ends in N for natural gas and P for propane, as in 31-S1S1N-A. Ordering the correct version avoids an orifice change, and a propane cylinder in the island needs the manual’s floor-level ventilation.
Is a hood included?
The Specifications tab lists the cooking surface and warming rack but the page does not describe a hood, so ask us before ordering if a lid matters for your cooking style. The Fire Magic spec guide gives the grill’s overall size as about 26 1/2 by 23 inches with a 19 inch height.
