336 Square Inches of Flameless Grilling — Built-In Precision for Spaces Where Open Flame Isn't an Option.
A true drop-in electric grill that delivers steakhouse heat without gas, charcoal, or a single open flame.
Fire ordinances and condo rules don't have to mean settling for a tabletop griddle. The ElectriChef Emerald 24" JA/CT Built-In drops into a countertop cutout and delivers a genuine 600°F sear across 336 sq. in. of cooking surface — the same output you'd expect from a gas grill, without a gas line, a propane tank, or a single open flame. Digital temperature control runs from a gentle 150°F all the way to full searing heat, holding that temperature evenly across every inch of the grate. The 18-gauge 304 stainless steel body is built for years of outdoor use, and when the cook is done, all three cooking grids and both drip trays come out and go straight in the dishwasher. It's a made-to-order, permanent installation — one that turns a no-flame outdoor kitchen into a real kitchen.

Deep Dive — Built-In Installation
▸
Built-In Install: What You're Working With
This is a drop-in unit designed to set into a countertop or island cutout, not a freestanding grill. Plan for a cutout of roughly 29" wide x 21" deep x 7" tall, with the grill itself measuring about 31.5"W x 17"H x 22.5"D once installed. It runs on a dedicated 220V/20-amp circuit (Nema 6-20R receptacle) — have your electrician confirm circuit placement before your countertop is fabricated.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
▸
The Deck & Den Take — If your space is under a no-open-flame ordinance and you're building a real outdoor kitchen — not just looking for a countertop workaround — this is one of the few built-in grills that actually delivers on the sear. The flameless operation isn't a compromise; at 600°F across 336 sq. in., the cooking performance is the same as any comparable gas drop-in. Who should look elsewhere: if you're not ready to commit to a permanent installation or you don't yet have a 220V dedicated circuit at your build site, the tabletop version gives you identical cooking performance without the cutout commitment. One thing to handle before you order: this grill is built to order and non-returnable once production begins. Confirm current lead time with us and share the spec sheet with your contractor before your countertop is fabricated.
