30" Choice Grill with Three Independent Cooking Zones
The Fire Magic Choice C540i is a 30" built-in gas grill for buyers who want more cooking width than the C430i while keeping the simpler controls and satin stainless finish of the Choice series. Its 30" x 18" primary cooking surface is divided across three stainless steel U-shaped burners, which makes it easier to run separate temperature zones for direct and indirect cooking.
Diamond Sear stainless steel cooking grids provide a broad food-contact surface, while 16-gauge 304 stainless steel flavor grids sit over the burners to distribute heat and help manage flare-ups. Turn-to-Light ignition keeps startup simple without requiring external electrical power or batteries for ignition.

Installation and Ordering Notes
The current Fire Magic owner manual and specifications guide list a 32" W x 19 1/2" D x 11 1/2" H non-combustible cutout for the C540i. This is the installation dimension BPO recommends using rather than older 12"-high cutout references still found on some product pages.
