Fire Magic Electric EL500i Built-In 31" Electric Grill with Single Touchscreen Control & Digital Timer

The Electric Grill Built for Serious Cooks

The Fire Magic EL500 brings the craftsmanship and performance of a premium outdoor grill to spaces where gas and charcoal aren’t an option. Running on 240V power, it reaches temperatures up to 700°F—hot enough to sear, roast, and cook everything you’d expect from a high-end grill, without a propane tank or gas line in sight.

Built Like a Fire Magic

The EL500 is built from 304 stainless steel with welded seams, a double-walled hood for superior heat retention, and heavy cooking grates—the same level of construction you’d find on Fire Magic’s top gas grills. The double-walled lid locks in heat more effectively than standard grills, which matters especially at high sear temperatures. This is not entry-level electric equipment.

Available as a freestanding unit on a pedestal or as a built-in for outdoor kitchen installations.

Two-Zone Cooking

Two independent burners let you run different temperatures on each side of the grill at the same time. Sear a steak on high heat on one side while roasting vegetables at a lower temperature on the other. This is the same approach you’d take on a two-burner gas grill—the EL500 just gives you more precise, consistent control over each zone.

Consistent Heat, No Flare-Ups

Electric heating elements produce even, steady heat across the entire cooking surface. There are no hot spots to chase, no flare-ups from dripping fat, and no wind affecting your temperature. Once you set a temperature, the grill holds it. That consistency makes it easier to cook proteins to a specific internal temperature and get repeatable results every time.

Yes, You Still Get Real Grill Flavor

The EL500 gets hot enough to trigger the Maillard reaction—the same browning process responsible for the crust and flavor on a properly seared steak. At 700°F, you’re not just cooking meat through, you’re developing the same surface flavor you’d get from a gas grill.

Where This Grill Makes the Most Sense

The EL500 is a strong choice for:

• Condos and apartments with outdoor space but no gas hookup
• Covered decks and rooftop patios where open-flame grills aren’t permitted
• HOA-restricted properties that prohibit gas or charcoal
• Outdoor kitchens where running a gas line isn’t practical or preferred
• Grillers who want a high-end secondary cooker alongside an existing gas setup

No Fuel Management Required

Plug in, preheat, cook. There are no propane tanks to swap, no natural gas lines to run, and no risk of running out of fuel mid-cook. For homeowners who want a low-maintenance outdoor cooking setup, the EL500 removes most of the friction associated with traditional grilling.
