42,000 BTUs and Heat Zone Separators — Full-Size Grilling Power in a Space-Smart 25" Footprint
Three-burner performance with real multi-zone control, built in #304 stainless — available as a built-in for your island or a complete freestanding setup ready to grill the same day it arrives.
Not every outdoor kitchen has room for a 32" grill — and the TFE25 was built for exactly that situation. Three 14,000 BTU stainless tube burners put 42,000 total BTUs across a 539 sq. in. cooking surface, and heat zone separators let you run a blazing sear zone and a gentle finishing zone at the same time, not one-setting-for-everything guesswork. The whole unit is #304 stainless from the burners to the flame tamers to the 8mm round cooking grates — backed by TrueFlame's Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty. Choose Grill Only to drop it into your island cutout, or select With Cart and get the CART-TF-25DC — commercial-grade stainless, magnetic soft-close doors, locking casters, foldable side shelves, and propane storage, fully assembled on arrival. Want lighting added in? The TrueFlame TF25 uses the same chassis with a full LED and halogen package built in.

Built for Space-Smart Outdoor Kitchens
A knurled, heat-resistant handle keeps the hood comfortable to open even at full heat, and #304 stainless flame tamers help distribute heat evenly while cutting down on flare-ups. Piezo and manual flash tube ignition gives you a dependable backup way to light the grill, and the whole unit is ETL certified for safety. The compact 25" cutout makes it a clean fit for smaller islands or secondary cooking stations without sacrificing real three-burner performance.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
›
The Deck & Den Take — The TFE25 hits a sweet spot that's harder to find than you'd think: three real burners, real multi-zone control, and proper #304 stainless throughout — without charging you for lighting or a rear infrared burner you may never use. If you're building a compact island or adding a secondary station to an existing kitchen, this is an easy yes. If you're building the centerpiece of a full outdoor kitchen and entertain regularly after dark, spend the extra for the TF25 with lighting — you'll reach for it every time. One thing most buyers don't ask about: natural gas vs. propane has to be chosen at purchase, so confirm your fuel source before you order.
-
Homeowners building a smaller or secondary outdoor kitchen island who still want true three-burner performance.
-
Budget-conscious buyers who want #304 stainless construction without paying for lighting or an infrared rear burner they don't need.
-
Cooks who want genuine multi-zone control for searing proteins while finishing sides gently.
- Anyone replacing an aging or underpowered 25" built-in grill.
-
Buyers planning a phased outdoor kitchen build who may step up to a lit or IR-equipped model later.
-
Buyers without a built-in island who want a freestanding setup they can use immediately — the With Cart option ships fully assembled and ready to grill.

TFE25 — Frequently Asked Questions
›
Does the TFE25 have interior or exterior lighting?›
No. TFE Series grills don't include lighting. If you want LED and halogen lighting on the same size grill, look at the TrueFlame TF25.
Does it have an infrared rear burner?›
No, the TFE25 doesn't include an infrared back burner. For rotisserie-style cooking with an IR back burner, the TrueFlame 32" deluxe grill is the better fit.
How much total cooking power does the TFE25 have?›
42,000 BTUs total, from three 14,000 BTU stainless steel tube burners.
What ignition system does the TFE25 use?›
Piezo and manual flash tube ignition, giving you a reliable backup way to light the burners.
What cutout size do I need for the TFE25?›
23 1/4" wide × 20 3/4" deep × 8 1/4" high. This applies to the built-in (Grill Only) configuration. Always confirm against the official line drawing before cutting your island. The With Cart configuration does not require a cutout.
What fuel types are available?›
Natural gas or liquid propane — select your fuel type and configuration above before adding to cart. This choice is made at purchase and can't be changed afterward.
Can I add a sear burner or rotisserie kit later?›
Yes. The TF-IRB drop-in infrared sear burner and the TFRK-25 rotisserie kit (40 lb. motor) are both compatible, sold separately.
Is the TFE25 certified for safety?›
What's the difference between the TFE25 and the TF25?›
They share the same 25" chassis and burner system. The TF25 adds interior and exterior LED/halogen lighting; the TFE25 skips lighting for a more value-focused build.
What's the difference between Grill Only and With Cart?›
Grill Only (TFE25 / TFE25L) ships just the grill head, designed to drop into an outdoor kitchen island cutout. With Cart (TFE25+CART-TF-25DC / TFE25L+CART-TF-25DC) includes the same grill head plus the CART-TF-25DC freestanding cart — commercial-grade stainless steel with magnetic soft-close doors, locking caster wheels, two foldable side shelves, propane tank storage, and an interior paper towel holder. The cart ships fully assembled.
Does the cart require any assembly?›
No — the CART-TF-25DC arrives fully assembled. You'll need to mount the grill head into the cart, but the cart itself is ready to go out of the box.
Is there a cover available for the cart configuration?›
Yes — the CARTCOV-TF25 deluxe vinyl cart cover is available separately and is designed specifically for the TFE25 freestanding configuration. If you have the built-in grill only, the TFGC-25 is the correct cover.
What's covered under warranty?›
TrueFlame's Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty covers the grill for consumer use, honored directly by the manufacturer. Labor costs are not covered.
