- Free shipping on orders over $400*
Expand your outdoor kitchen's cooking capabilities with Fire Magic Built-In Gas Side Burners, available in four configurations to complement different Fire Magic grill installations. Choose from the compact 3280 Drop-In Single Side Burner, or the larger Echelon Diamond 32816, Aurora 32817, and Choice 3281R Double Side Burners.
The 3280 Drop-In Single Side Burner features one sealed 15,000 BTU burner, a precise flame-control valve, electronic spark ignition, and a stainless steel cover. Its compact drop-in design requires an approximately 8-3/4" W x 14-1/4" D cutout.
For additional cooking capacity, the Echelon Diamond, Aurora, and Choice configurations feature two independently controlled 15,000 BTU burners, delivering 30,000 BTU total output. This dual-burner arrangement makes it easy to prepare sauces, side dishes, vegetables, and other foods while the main course cooks on the grill.
The Echelon Diamond model complements Fire Magic's premium Echelon grill line with its modern black-glass styling. Fire Magic also equips its double side burners with Comfort Touch controls, while the Echelon, Aurora, and Choice manufacturer pages specify a common 11-1/2" W x 22-3/4" D x 11-1/2" H cutout.

Important Grid Configuration Note
The three double side burners are offered by Fire Magic with stainless steel or porcelain cast grids. Since the configuration names you supplied only distinguish the product family—not the grid material—I would not add Grid Type as another Shopify option unless your inventory contains separate grid-specific SKUs.
Free shipping on orders over $400. Due to our vast selection of product offerings, some products may require additional shipping and handling charges, such as products that need custom crating. Some of these charges would need to be calculated post-purchase. We will always coordinate with you in these special cases.
