How The Fire Magic A790i Infrared (No Rotisserie) Compares To Other A790i Options

Homeowners choosing between Fire Magic A790i configurations usually face this question: should I get the base A790i for standard grilling, this infrared burner version for dedicated high-heat searing, or the fully-loaded rotisserie/infrared version for maximum versatility?

Why The Fire Magic A790i Infrared Burner Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a built-in grill, it's built with a dedicated 25,000 BTU Infrared Drop-In Burner in place of one standard burner, giving homeowners steakhouse-quality searing capability without paying for the backburner and rotisserie kit found on the fully-loaded configuration.

The A790i-7LAN specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want dedicated high-heat searing for steaks and other proteins, without needing rotisserie roasting capability as part of the same grill.

Steakhouse Searing, Without The Rotisserie Premium. The 25,000 BTU infrared burner delivers the intense, consistent heat needed for restaurant-quality sear marks, giving homeowners the searing performance of the top-tier A790i configuration at a lower price point than the version bundled with a full rotisserie kit.

Built For Serious Searing Performance

The 25,000 BTU Infrared Drop-In Burner delivers steakhouse-quality sears that standard cast burners can't match

Diamond Sear cooking grids feature a wide, flat top that optimally transfers heat from the burner to the cooking surface

Two remaining cast stainless steel "E" burners provide reliable, even heat for standard grilling alongside the infrared position

Engineered For Reliable, Convenient Operation

The hot surface ignition system uses 120V electricity for a hassle-free, reliable grill startup every time

The angled analog thermometer in the lid provides an easy-to-read temperature check without guesswork

304 stainless steel construction stands up to daily outdoor use and weather exposure

Real Savings

Skipping the backburner and rotisserie kit keeps upfront cost lower while still delivering premium searing capability

The dedicated infrared burner reduces the need for a separate searing station or cast iron sear plate accessory

Fire Magic's lifetime warranty on burners, cooking grids, and housing protects the investment for as long as the grill is owned

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Homeowners who want dedicated steakhouse-quality searing without paying for rotisserie roasting capability can't get that targeted value from the base or fully-loaded A790i configurations. The Fire Magic A790i with Infrared Burner is built with a 25,000 BTU dedicated sear burner and the same 792 sq. in. cooking surface as the rest of the line, so it delivers premium searing performance at a more accessible price than the full rotisserie configuration. For anyone who prioritizes a great sear over rotisserie versatility, this is the configuration built to deliver it.
