600°F Flameless Grilling Built Into Your Island — No Cart, No Base, No Open Flame
The clean drop-in configuration for all-electric outdoor kitchens — 336 sq. in. of 600°F flameless grilling integrated flush into your island, with nothing below the counter but the grill.
The ElectriChef Emerald 24" Built-In Outdoor Electric Grill (model 4400-EC-336-I-24) is a 3,520-watt, 220V flameless electric grill engineered to drop into any outdoor kitchen island cutout and disappear into the design. At 24¼" wide with a clean satin stainless front face, it integrates seamlessly alongside gas equipment, side burners, or refrigeration drawers — or stands alone as the centerpiece of an all-electric outdoor kitchen. The same 600°F performance and 336 sq. in. cooking surface as the cart and pedestal models, minus the base — just the grill head, fully assembled, ready to drop in and connect. No open flame, no charcoal, no gas line. A 208/220V, 20-amp outlet and a properly sized cutout are all it takes.
Why the Emerald 24" Built-In Belongs in Your Outdoor Kitchen Island
The built-in is what you choose when the design calls for a flush, permanent grill installation — where a cart or pedestal would break the line, and where open flame isn't an option.

Drop-In
Flush Island Integration — Clean, Permanent, Designed-In
With a 24¼" wide cutout and no base or cart to contend with, the built-in model drops into any outdoor kitchen island and sits flush with the countertop — exactly like a gas built-in, but electric. This is the configuration architects, designers, and outdoor kitchen builders specify when the grill is meant to be part of the island, not sitting on top of it.
600°F
Real Searing Heat — No Flame, No Compromise
The Emerald reaches a full 600°F, delivering genuine grill marks and a caramelized sear across the full 336 square inches — without a single flare-up, gas line, or charcoal bag. That's the same performance capability as the cart and pedestal versions, just integrated into the island instead of standing beside it.
336 sq. in.
Full-Size Cooking Surface in a 24-Inch Footprint
Three removable 304 stainless steel cooking grids cover a 14" × 24" grilling surface — room for a full dinner spread in a footprint that fits neatly into a standard island run. All three grids pull out and go straight into the dishwasher. Two removable grease trays handle cleanup underneath.
150–600°F
Digital Precision — Dial In Any Temperature
The digital control panel sets an exact temperature across the full range — delicate heat for fish or vegetables at the low end, maximum sear temperature at the top. Even heat across the entire surface means what you set is what you cook at, without chasing cold spots or hot zones.
10–60 min
Built-In Timer with Automatic Shut-Off
Set the timer and walk away confident — when it counts down, the grill shuts off automatically. A hood-mounted heat indicator lets you check temperature status at a glance. Both are particularly valuable in shared or multi-unit grilling spaces where the grill may be used by multiple people throughout the day.
304 S.S.
18-Gauge Commercial-Grade Stainless Throughout
18-gauge 304 stainless steel with a #3 finish covers every surface — the same grade used in commercial kitchens. It resists rust, salt air, and outdoor exposure, and it integrates visually with virtually any island finish or outdoor kitchen aesthetic without requiring a special panel or trim kit.

Deep Dive — ElectriChef Emerald 24" Built-In►
Built-In vs. Cart vs. Pedestal: Choosing the Right Emerald Configuration
The Emerald 24" is available in three configurations. The built-in (this model) is a pure drop-in grill head that integrates flush into an outdoor kitchen island — no base, no cart, no pedestal. It sits exactly like a built-in gas grill and works alongside any other island components. The pedestal-base model mounts on a permanent column that anchors to a surface — preferred in communal outdoor spaces where a slim, anchored profile is desired but no island exists. The closed-base cart model rolls on four locking casters and includes an enclosed storage cabinet — best for private patios where portability and under-grill storage matter. All three configurations share the same cooking performance, grill head specs, and materials.
The All-Electric Outdoor Kitchen — No Gas Utility Required
The built-in configuration is the natural choice for all-electric outdoor kitchen builds where a gas line is unavailable, cost-prohibitive, or simply not desired. Paired with an electric side burner, a refrigeration drawer, and an outdoor sink, this grill completes a full outdoor kitchen setup that requires nothing but standard utility connections. It also works seamlessly in luxury outdoor kitchen islands alongside gas equipment — the identical footprint and flush integration means it fits anywhere a 24-inch built-in gas grill would.
Flameless: Compliant Where Gas and Charcoal Cannot Go
Because the ElectriChef Emerald produces no open flame at any point during operation, it complies with fire ordinances that prohibit open-flame grilling on balconies, rooftops, and in many multi-unit residential buildings. For condominium and apartment communities where a shared outdoor kitchen island is planned, this grill is the only built-in configuration that satisfies both the design brief and the fire code.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take►
The Deck & Den Take — The built-in is the right Emerald when you have an island and you want the grill to look like it was always part of it. Drop it in alongside a side burner, a refrigeration drawer, or whatever else is in the run — it integrates flush with the counter and presents like any other built-in appliance. That's the difference between this and the cart or pedestal: those are freestanding units; this one disappears into the island and makes the whole outdoor kitchen look designed rather than assembled. The one thing to plan for before ordering is the electrical: you'll need a dedicated 208/220V, 20-amp NEMA 6-20R outlet at the island, and a cutout sized to 24¼" W × 16¼" D × 7¾" H. Note also that this grill ships on an 8–12 week lead time from the manufacturer — order ahead of your project timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions►
What is the difference between the built-in, cart, and pedestal Emerald 24" models?►
All three share the same cooking performance: 3,520W, 600°F max, 336 sq. in. cooking surface, digital controls, auto shut-off timer, and identical grill head components. The built-in (this model) is a pure drop-in grill head with no base — it integrates flush into an outdoor kitchen island cutout exactly like a built-in gas grill. The pedestal model mounts on a permanent anchored column, suited for communal spaces or patios without an island. The closed-base cart model rolls on four locking casters and includes an enclosed storage cabinet — best for portable private-patio use.
What are the cutout dimensions?►
The required cutout is 24¼" wide × 16¼" deep × 7¾" high. Always confirm against the spec sheet and owner's manual before cutting your island counter — both are available in the Manuals & Documents section above. Share the wiring diagram with your electrician before rough-in so the outlet is correctly positioned within the island.
What electrical connection does this grill require?►
The grill requires a dedicated 208/220V, 20-amp, single-phase branch circuit with a NEMA 6-20R receptacle. If you're building a new outdoor kitchen island, have a licensed electrician run the circuit and install the outlet inside the island before the grill arrives. The wiring diagram in the Documents section above is the document to share with your electrician for rough-in planning.
How long is the lead time?►
The ElectriChef built-in ships on an 8–12 week build-to-order lead time from the manufacturer. Order this grill before you finalize your island construction timeline so the grill head arrives ready to drop in when the island is complete.
Do you get real grill marks with this grill?►
Yes. The Emerald reaches 600°F and delivers genuine grill marks and a caramelized sear. You get the visual and textural result of a high-heat grill — without a gas line, charcoal, or open flame.
Why is a flameless electric grill used in apartments and condominiums?►
Fire codes in many multi-unit residential buildings prohibit open-flame grilling on balconies, shared decks, and rooftops. Because ElectriChef grills produce no open flame during operation, they comply with these ordinances. This makes the built-in model the only configuration that can deliver a genuine island-integrated grilling experience in a space where gas or charcoal grills would be prohibited.
Can this grill be used indoors?►
No. ElectriChef grills are designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate this grill indoors, in a garage, or in any enclosed space.
Does this grill have even heat across the cooking surface?►
Yes. ElectriChef's electric heating system distributes consistent, even heat across the entire 336 sq. in. cooking surface — no hot spots, no cold corners. What you set on the digital control is what you cook at, across every inch of the grate.
How do I clean the cooking grids?►
All three stainless steel cooking grids are dishwasher safe — remove them and load them straight in. Alternatively, soak in hot water with a strong dish detergent to loosen buildup, then rinse. The two removable grease trays lift out for easy cleaning. For stainless exterior surfaces, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Can I add wood chips for smoke flavor?►
Yes. Place wood chips in a smoker box on the cooking grates to add a subtle smoke character to your food. The grill itself operates without a flame, but a smoker box on the heated grates produces smoke that flavors the food.
Is a rotisserie available for this model?►
Yes. An optional rotisserie kit is available separately from ElectriChef and is compatible with the Emerald 24" built-in model.
What warranty does this grill carry?►
ElectriChef provides a tiered limited warranty honored directly by the manufacturer: lifetime coverage on stainless steel grill assemblies, 5 years on cooking grids, 3 years on the stainless steel heat-flavor plate, and 1 year on all other electrical and mechanical components. Labor is not included. Register at electri-chef.com to activate coverage.
Can I leave this grill installed outdoors year-round?►
Yes. As a built-in installation, this grill is designed to remain in place permanently. The 304 stainless steel construction handles outdoor exposure, rain, and coastal salt air. A purpose-built cover is available separately from ElectriChef and is recommended to protect the grill head when not in use.
Does Deck & Den offer free shipping?►
Yes. Deck & Den ships this grill free to addresses in the contiguous 48 states on orders over $100. Alaska and Hawaii are excluded from the free shipping policy.
Is price matching available?►
Yes. If you find this exact grill at a lower price from an authorized retailer, contact Deck & Den and we will match it. See our price-match page for full terms and conditions.
