Are Fire Magic Grills Worth The Money?

Any high-end grill is an investment, so you need to know you're getting exactly what you paid for. You may have come across the Fire Magic - and the price tag begs the question, are they worth it?

Our goal with this guide is to tell you everything you need to know about Fire Magic Grills and the products they offer - that way you can decide if their brand is a good fit for your outdoor kitchen.

About Fire Magic Grills

Founded in 1937, Fire Magic is owned and operated by R.H. Peterson.

R.H. Peterson designs and manufactures grills and specialty outdoor fireplace products.  All of its products, grills included, are manufactured in the USA out of California.

The Fire Magic line definitely falls into the luxury grill category.  This tier of products are marked by high quality materials, thoughtful design, and extra features (more on that in a moment) that you don't find with many other brands.

Are Fire Magic Grills Worth The Price Tag?

In many ways, what's "worth it" or not depends on what your goals, budget, and preferences are for your outdoor kitchen.

With that being said, we think the most fair way to judge value is by comparison to peers.

And in this regard, we think Fire Magic grills are definitely justified in their price tag.  Fire Magic's level of quality and features stand up to other luxury grill brands like Lynx and Alfresco.

With that being said, it's still a personal decision of what is worth it or not for you - so let's take a closer look at Fire Magic grills to see what value their products provide.

Fire Magic Grills Overview

The grills produced by Fire Magic are on the luxury end of the outdoor cooking market, combining professional features with a sleek design.

All of their grills are made from heavy-duty 304-grade stainless steel, preventing rust and elemental damage over long periods of time.

Their range features both built-in and portable grill models, with charcoal, electric, and gas grills among them.

Fire Magic has four series of grills available - the flagship Echelon Diamond Collection, the Aurora Collection, and the Choice Collection all feature "traditional" built-in grills.

The last series they offer is the Legacy series - which is a collection of unique drop-in grills that mount flush with a countertop.

A grill from the Echelon Diamond series is top-of-the-line in quality, style, and additional features, while a grill from the Aurora range has fewer features, but is still incredibly high-quality and beautifully designed.

The Choice series offers grills that are more affordable than the others but are still amazing without complex, professional-grade gadgets.

It is just a simpler version of their Echelon Diamond and Aurora grills.

Fire Magic Grill Key Features

Fire Magic’s Echelon Diamond range grills have every feature as they are the most advanced products the brand has to offer.

All of these features are listed below:

• Drip tray - it has a large capacity drip tray that smoothly opens for easy cleaning.
• Quantum infrared back burner - the grill features a 100% stainless steel foam back burner that provides efficient rotisserie grilling.
• Digital thermometer available - you can choose to outfit your grill with a high-end digital thermometer display that includes a meat probe and a light control switch.  Analog thermometers are also available.
• Viewing window available - it's hard to resist the urge to peek. With Fire Magic's viewing windows, you don't have to worry about losing temperature to check on your food.
• Interior halogen lights - each grill has 2 internal halogen lamps that are optimally angled to illuminate your grill area.
• Double-walled grill hood - this grill has a double-walled stainless steel hood for excellent heat retention and opens at 90 degrees for easy access and exhaust.
• Diamond Sear cooking grids - Fire Magic's grill grate design is patented and features wide, flat bars that maximize surface area contact with your food.
• Flavor grids - Fire Magic grills have v-shaped flavor bars above the burners to allow maximum heating of your grill.  The flavor grids also vaporize food drippings which rise back up as smoke to flavor your food even more.
• Cast stainless steel burners - this grill has ¼-inch thick stainless steel burners with a lifetime warranty and they are designed with a protective lip to avoid clogging from grease.

What Do Fire Magic Grills Cost?

For a Fire Magic grill, you can expect to pay around $4,000 or more for the Choice series.

One of their top range grills, however, will set you back $10,000 or more - and there are many price points in between.

Some of the smaller Legacy series grills are available for less than $3,000, which are a great value if you aren't looking to maximize cooking surface area.

These grills also come with a limited lifetime warranty so they are expected to last for decades - and you're covered in case something goes wrong.

One of the top selling points of Fire Magic is their vast selection of matching, branded outdoor kitchen products.

Whether it's a side burner, access doors, drawers, or outdoor refrigerators, Fire Magic has complimentary products available to help you complete a cohesive, integrated look in your outdoor kitchen.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, Fire Magic products firmly belong at the top of the line when it comes to outdoor kitchen products.

While expensive, you are sure to find products that are thoughtfully made with durable materials, and manufactured stateside in the USA.
