Wildfire Warming Drawer: keeps grilled food warm until everyone is ready
The Wildfire Warming Drawer is an electric warming drawer for an outdoor kitchen. It holds cooked food warm without cooking it further, so the first burgers off the grill are still hot when the last come off. It is made from 304 stainless steel to match Wildfire’s other island pieces. Built in means it slides into a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, so it has no legs of its own.
A dial on the front lets you set the temperature from 90 to 220 degrees. The heating element is hidden under the drawer. It must be hard wired to its own circuit inside the island, rather than plugged into an outlet. Plan for power where the drawer will go. It comes in plain stainless steel, with no options to choose on this page. Need cold storage too? See the Wildfire 24 Inch Outdoor Fridge. The Wildfire Warming Drawer ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is a warming drawer?
An appliance that holds cooked food warm and ready to serve without continuing to cook it. Batches come off the grill as they finish and wait in the drawer until everything — and everyone — is ready, instead of going cold on a platter.
Is the Wildfire warming drawer gas or electric?
Electric — the model is listed as WFWARMDRW, 304 stainless steel, electric. Plan for power at its position in the island when your contractor is routing utilities, the same way you would for an outdoor refrigerator.
Why add one to an outdoor kitchen?
Entertaining. Grilling for a group means food finishes in waves, and a warming drawer is what lets the first wave still be hot when the last comes off the grates. It is the difference between serving a full spread at once and shuttling plates indoors to the oven.
How does it install?
As a built-in unit in the island, like Wildfire’s doors and drawers. Frame the opening to the cutout dimensions in the Built-In Specifications sheet linked under the Manuals tab on this page, and have power routed to the bay before the counter is finished.
What is it made of?
Traditional 304 stainless steel, matching the rest of the Wildfire component line, so it sits alongside the brand’s doors, drawers, and appliances as part of one consistent outdoor warming drawer installation rather than a mismatched insert.
