Known for crafting American-made premium grills for over 75 years, Fire Magic is dedicated to providing you with a quality outdoor cooking experience. Choice Series grills are the most affordable line that Fire Magic offers, featuring superior design and materials inside Aurora-style housing. The C540I built-in propane gas grill is constructed of 304 stainless steel for long lasting quality, with a satin finish and comfort touch knobs on a sleek and simple control panel. Integrated into the hood is an analog thermometer, complete with an angled bezel for easier viewing. Inside, three 16-gauge stainless steel tubular burners provide 60,000 BTUs. These burners are lit by reliable push-and-turn Rapid Light ignition. Flavor grids protect the burners from grease and debris, while also spreading heat evenly to the cooking surface.

An adjustable warming rack adds extra space for keeping food hot, and can be moved out of the way for convenience. The disposable drip pan system makes cleanup easy. Raised hangers line the sides and back of the grill for seamless built-in installation. All these features contained within a sleek and stylish facade make the Fire Magic Choice Series grill the affordable way to add a bit of luxury to your outdoor kitchen.

Expert Review

The Skinny:

  • Diamond sear cooking grids
  • Available as built-in, portable or post units
  • Basic all stainless grill without extras that drive up the price
  • No ceramics or electronics make it great for apartment or condo common areas

Things We Love:

The Fire Magic Choice gas grill is a great value, considering it’s made with quality stainless steel and powerful burners. Fire Magic produces some of the finest grills money can buy, and this grill is a great example of their craftsmanship. The 304 grade stainless steel hood is double lined with beautiful polished edges and looks really sharp.

The Choice comes with “u-shaped” stainless steel tube burners. Like all other Fire Magic grills, these burners create different heat zones across the grilling surface. The burners have versatile cooking performance, working equally well at high and low temperatures. The Diamond Sear stainless steel cooking grids offer more surface contact than your typical round grids, so your food gets a great sear every time. The cooking grids now come standard on the Choice series grills. Underneath the cooking grids are the stainless steel flavor grids, made of 16-gauge stainless steel with perforations that help protect the burners and reduce flare-ups.

Fire Magic also delivers with a great warranty. The stainless cooking grids and housing has a lifetime warranty. Meanwhile, the burners have a 20 year warranty, and other components vary in length. The bottom line is Fire Magic is a reputable company that builds quality products, and our customers who buy Fire Magic report very few problems back to us.

Choice grills are backed by a strong multi-user warranty. They are available in built-in or on a post, which make them an excellent choice for these installations. The multi-user warranty is 5 years on housing, burners, grates, valves, inner liner, manifold and 1 year on all other components.

Things To Consider:

The grill is designed with heat zones, which provide a hot zone across the back, while the front corner zones are slightly cooler. This is something to consider if you are looking for a grill with an even heat cooking surface, however, some customers like this feature and use it to shift food around on the grill. This grill is basic and as such, it lacks many of the extra features found on similarly priced grills.

You'll Like This Grill If:

If you want a basic, all stainless, American made grill with a good warranty made by a great company.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
