Guide Review - Fire Magic Aurora A540 Gas Grill
Fire Magic are amongst the best (and most expensive) gas grills you can buy and this unit is no exception. The quality construction should be enough to sell virtually anyone on this grill. But just in case you want more take a look at the cooking system. The three 20,000 BTU cast stainless burners are E-type. This means that each puts out four rows of fire. Combined, this grill has 12 rows of burner ports under a 30 inch wide cooking area. This means even, intense heat all across the cooking surface. Looking down into this grill (flame tamers removed) it looks like a sea of fire. The cast stainless steel burners are warranted for a lifetime because that is how long they will last.In addition this grill offers all the standard features you would want from a good gas grill. The 15,000 BTU side burner is powerful and places in a strong side table under a flush mounted cover. This means you can put a heavy pot on here and actually get it to a boil. The grill comes standard with a full, high quality stainless steel rotisserie kit, but you will have to pay extra to put in the recessed infrared rotisserie burner. Of course the rotisserie burner isn't necessary for rotisserie cooking, it just makes it a little easier.
This grill is available with many extras including a recessed infrared rotisserie burner and infrared main burner options. This unit can be purchases propane or natural gas, standalone or as an insert grill.
