It is a very adaptable outdoor cooking station that may be used as a grill, smoker, or rotisserie.

The burners are lit with a touch via the reliable hot surface ignition. The temperatures can be adjusted effortlessly through the LED-backlit touch knobs on the front.
You can buy this grill in options with a combo of cast steel and an infrared burner, or with all infrared burners, depending on your needs. Infrared burners reduce the cooking time and produce a better sear without drying the meat.

The grill has backup flash tubes for the ignition and flavor grids which ensure that the heat is spread evenly and that the grease and juices are directed away from the burners to prevent flare-ups.
You can adjust the different parts of the Diamond Sear cooking surface into different temperature zones. The patented grids will prevent the food from sticking and will ensure there are no hot or cold spots.
There is an added warming rack that can be moved away when not in use and an added charcoal smoker basket that will help add that smokiness to the food, which most gas grills cannot produce.
This high-end grill also comes with a Quantum infrared backburner using stainless steel foam, which is compatible with the included 13,000 BTU rotisserie kit.
Cleaning the grill is easy thanks to the specially designed large drip tray and a disposable pan system.
The cart-style grill has multiple storage options, including two large storage drawers, two large side shelves, and a slide-out compartment for the propane tank.
The grill is set on locking casters and is 79.25 (W) x 30.5 (D) x 52.5 (H) inches in size and weighs 425 lbs.
Fire Magic backs its luxurious grill with a lifetime warranty for the stainless steel burners, grids, and housing. The other parts are backed by warranties ranging from 3 to 15 years, so you can rest assured that your investment is well protected in the future.

The most expensive grill ever
Gold-plated BeefEater Grill
If you were wondering how expensive could the most expensive grill in the world costs – we have it here for you.
While it is not available for sale, it is interesting to take a look at this ridiculously luxurious gold-plated grill.
It is made by the Australian grill-making company named BeefEater, which decided to gold-plate with 24 carat gold one of its own grills – the 6-burner LS4000s.
The fact is that every single component of this grill is gold plated, including each nut and bolt which holds it together!
Interestingly enough, gold does have a much higher melting point (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit) than stainless steel. Still, you will hardly need to heat up any grill to this kind of temperature anyway.
The estimated price of this gold-plated grill was about 155,000 Australian dollars when it was shown at a Home Show in Sydney in 2007. Today, the price will be different and depends on the current price of gold.
As noted, this grill is not for sale, but keep in mind that for this kind of money, you can buy about 50 of the manufacturer’s regular gas grills, about 180 Big Green Eggs, or a whole 950 high-end Weber charcoal grills.
Still, this extravagant gold-plated grill is definitely something you do not see every day!
Are high-end grills really worth it?
You may be wondering why someone would spend so much money on a grill instead of buying a car, for example. But grills are like cars – there are inexpensive sedans, and there are high-end sports cars.
The truth is that if you can afford one of these grills and are serious about grilling, you will receive exactly what you are paying for.

As you have seen from our list, these luxurious grills come with some amazing features such as powerful built-in rotisseries, infrared burners, built-in smoker boxes, convection fans, state-of-the-art digital controls, added burners, and more.
So, instead of comparing buying a grill like this to buying a car, the more suitable comparison is buying a regular car to buying a high-performance sports car.
Plus, most of these high-end grills are handcrafted in the USA by artisans, so you can support the local crafters who are working hard to make products that will last forever and are striving for high quality instead of supporting imported cheap goods.
We suggest – if you can afford it – go for it!
