600°F
Real Searing Heat — No Flame Required
The Emerald hits a full 600°F, delivering the deep grill marks and caramelized crust you expect from a steakhouse — without a single flare-up, charcoal mess, or gas hookup. That even, radiant heat means every square inch of the grate is working for you.
336 sq. in.
Generous 14" × 24" Cooking Surface
Room for a full dinner spread — steaks and vegetables going simultaneously, or a rack of ribs laid flat. Three individual stainless steel cooking grids each fit in the dishwasher, so cleanup after a big cook takes minutes, not scrubbing sessions.
150–600°F
Digital Precision — Dial In Any Temperature
The digital control panel lets you set an exact temperature across the full range — low and slow for fish or vegetables, maximum heat for a sear. No guesswork, no hot spots: ElectriChef's even-heat design means you cook at the temp you set, not the one the grill drifts to.
10–60 min
Built-In Timer with Automatic Shut-Off
Set the timer and walk away. When it counts down, the grill shuts off automatically — a genuine safety advantage on a balcony or rooftop where you can't always keep eyes on the grate. A hood-mounted heat indicator keeps you oriented without lifting the lid.
304 S.S.
18-Gauge Stainless Steel — Built to Last Outdoors
Every surface is 18-gauge 304 stainless steel — the same grade used in commercial kitchens. It resists rust, saltwater, and the elements, and it wipes clean with a non-abrasive stainless cleaner. This grill is designed to look and perform like new years into ownership.
Ready to Roll
Closed Cabinet + 4 Casters for Storage and Mobility
The closed stainless base cabinet (18" × 18" door with T-handle) keeps utensils, accessories, and drip trays out of sight. Four commercial-grade swivel casters — two locking — let you roll the grill into position or tuck it away between uses. Folding side shelves add prep space when you need it and fold flat when you don't.

Flameless Grilling: The Real Advantage for Balconies, Rooftops, and No-Flame Buildings
Many apartment, condominium, and high-rise buildings prohibit open-flame grills — gas and charcoal — on balconies and rooftop decks due to fire codes. The ElectriChef Emerald produces zero open flame: it uses electric heating elements behind a stainless steel heat-flavor plate to generate powerful, even radiant heat. That means fire-code compliance without giving up real grilling performance. You still get grill marks, a proper sear, and the satisfaction of cooking outdoors — you just plug into a 220V outlet instead of a propane tank.
Setup Is as Simple as Plug-In and Cook
The Emerald 24" ships fully assembled — no tools, no assembly steps. Plug it into a dedicated 208/220V, 20-amp outdoor outlet (NEMA 6-20R receptacle), turn it on, set your temperature, allow a brief preheat, and grill. If you don't already have a 220V outdoor outlet, an electrician can wire one to a dedicated branch circuit before delivery — a straightforward job for any licensed contractor.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
►
The Deck & Den Take — The Emerald 24" is the grill we recommend to shoppers who live in a building that bans gas and charcoal but aren't willing to settle for a countertop unit that barely gets hot. This is a full-size, full-performance outdoor grill that just happens to run on electricity — and if you have a coastal home, a rooftop terrace, or a covered patio where flare-ups and ash are problems you'd rather not deal with, that's a genuine advantage, not a compromise. One thing to sort out before you order: confirm you have — or are willing to have installed — a dedicated 208/220V, 20-amp outdoor outlet. That's the only real prerequisite. Once it's there, this grill is as turnkey as it gets.
-
Apartment and condo residents with no-flame ordinances — this grill was built for exactly this situation; fire-code compliant, full-performance, and sized to fit a balcony without overwhelming it.
-
High-rise and rooftop entertainers — the closed cabinet and locking casters keep everything organized and secure on shared rooftop decks or narrow terraces.
-
Homeowners who want to eliminate gas and charcoal hassle — no tank refills, no charcoal bags, no ash cleanup; just plug in, set a temperature, and grill.
-
Coastal and marine property owners — 304 stainless steel construction holds up to saltwater environments where lesser grills corrode quickly.
-
Covered patio and outdoor kitchen setups — no open flame means you can safely grill under pergolas, awnings, and covered structures that would exclude gas grills.
-
Precision cooks who want consistent results — digital temperature control and no hot spots mean repeatable results every time, not the variation you chase with gas or charcoal.

Frequently Asked Questions
►
Do you get grill marks with the ElectriChef?►
Yes. The Emerald sears food at up to 600°F, producing genuine grill marks and a caramelized sear. You get the look and texture of a high-heat grill — just without the taste of charcoal or gas, and without an open flame.
What outlet does the Emerald 24" require?►
The grill requires a dedicated 208/220V, 20-amp, single-phase branch circuit with a NEMA 6-20R receptacle. If you don't already have one outdoors, a licensed electrician can install it before delivery.
Will I need to assemble anything when it arrives?►
No. The Emerald 24" ships fully assembled and ready to use. Place it where you want it, plug it into your 220V outlet, and grill.
Why are ElectriChef grills allowed in apartments and high-rise buildings?►
Most fire codes that prohibit balcony grilling are specifically targeting open flames — gas and charcoal. Because ElectriChef grills produce no open flame at any point during operation, they comply with the ordinances that ban flame grills in multi-unit residential buildings, apartments, and condominiums.
Can I use the ElectriChef indoors?►
No. ElectriChef grills are designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do not operate this grill indoors, in a garage, or in any enclosed space.
Can I leave the grill outdoors year-round?►
Yes. The 304 stainless steel construction is built to withstand the elements, including rain and coastal salt air. ElectriChef does recommend using a grill cover when the unit is not in use to extend its life and appearance — covers are available separately.
Is there a performance difference between the 115V and 220V models?►
No. Both the 115V and 220V versions of ElectriChef grills reach the same 600°F maximum temperature and deliver the same grilling performance. The 220V model shown here is the more common outdoor configuration in the US, where 220V outdoor circuits are standard.
How do I clean the cooking grids?►
The three stainless steel cooking grids are dishwasher safe. You can also clean them manually by soaking in hot water with a strong dish detergent to loosen any buildup, then rinsing. The two removable grease trays lift out easily for cleaning. For the stainless exterior surfaces, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Are there any hot spots on the cooking surface?►
No. ElectriChef's electric heating design produces consistent, even heat across the entire cooking surface. Unlike gas grills where heat can concentrate over individual burners, there is no need to move food from spot to spot to cook it evenly.
Can I use wood chips for added smoke flavor?►
Yes. You can use wood chips with the Emerald by placing them in a smoker box that rests on the cooking grates. This allows you to add a subtle smoke note to your food even though the grill itself operates without a flame.
How does the automatic shut-off timer work?►
The built-in digital timer can be set from 10 to 60 minutes. When the timer reaches zero, the grill automatically shuts off. This is a safety feature particularly useful on balconies and rooftops where you may step away while cooking.
What is the minimum clearance needed for safe installation?►
The manufacturer specifies a minimum of 3 inches of clearance at the rear of the grill to accommodate the open hood. Consult the owner's manual and all local codes for complete clearance requirements before positioning the grill.
Is a rotisserie available for this grill?►
Yes, an optional rotisserie kit is available separately from ElectriChef and is compatible with this model. It allows for spit-roasting chicken, roasts, and other items directly in the grill.
What does the closed-base cabinet offer?►
The 18" × 18" stainless steel cabinet with a T-handle door provides enclosed storage underneath the grill for utensils, accessories, and spare parts. Unlike an open cart or pedestal base, the closed cabinet keeps everything organized and out of the elements.
How long does it take to preheat?►
[[VERIFY: preheat time]] — ElectriChef states the grill is ready in minutes after turning on and setting temperature. Exact preheat duration to maximum temperature is not specified by the manufacturer; allow the grill to reach your target temperature before placing food on the grates for best results.
What warranty comes with the Emerald 24"?►
ElectriChef covers the stainless steel grill assemblies and cooking grids with a lifetime limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The stainless steel heat-flavor plate carries a 3-year warranty. All other electrical and mechanical components are covered for 1 year from the date of purchase. Labor is not included; full terms are in the owner's manual. Register your grill at electri-chef.com to activate coverage.
