102,000 BTU
Power to Sear and Spare
Five burners deliver rapid preheat and high, even heat across the whole grate, so you can run a full spread on high without the temperature sagging when guests arrive.
Infrared
Steakhouse Crust on Command
A dedicated built-in infrared sear burner hits the kind of intense, focused heat that locks in a deep crust in seconds — the finish you usually only get at a steakhouse.
1,013 sq in
Room for the Whole Spread
770 square inches of primary grilling plus a 243-square-inch warming rack let you sear the mains and hold the sides hot and ready — all at once, no shuffling.
304 SS
Storm Guard Build
A 304 stainless steel Storm Guard chassis stands up to sun, rain, and salt air, so the grill that anchors your island keeps its looks and performance season after season.
Instant
Flame Thrower Ignition
Flame Thrower ignition lights your burners fast and reliably every time, so there's no clicking, no waiting, and no second-guessing before the first cook.

Deep Dive — HeatWave Chamber, Flavor Bars & Everyday Upkeep▶
HeatWave Chamber Airflow and Flavor Bars
The Gran Fuego 42's HeatWave Chamber circulates heat to minimize hot spots, so a steak on the left cooks like a steak on the right. Below the grates, Flavor Bars vaporize drippings and send rich, smoky flavor back up into the food, while a natural convection-style double-lined hood holds steady temperatures so you can roast without constantly lifting the lid.
Built for the Elements, Easy to Run
CoolTouch knobs and a CoolGrip handle let you adjust heat and lift the hood without a hot grip, and dual interior lights keep the cook surface visible after dark. A premium temperature gauge takes the guesswork out of roasting, while a full-width grease tray and quick-release panel make cleanup and service fast — so the grill stays ready for the next cook.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take▶
The Deck & Den Take — If you're building a full outdoor kitchen and want one grill that can do it all, the Gran Fuego 42 is the one to size up to over the 36". The extra burners and the dedicated infrared sear burner give you real multi-zone flexibility — sear on one end, hold and roast on the other. Two things to lock in before you order: confirm your fuel type matches your hookup (it ships set for natural gas and includes a propane conversion kit), and get your island cutout dimensions exactly right (38.5" W x 10" H x 22" D) so the drop-in is clean. Add a grill cover from day one to protect the finish between cooks.

Frequently Asked Questions▶
How powerful is the Gran Fuego 42? ▶
It delivers 102,000 BTUs across a five-burner configuration that includes a built-in infrared sear burner, with 1,013 square inches of total cooking surface (770 primary + 243 warming).
What does the infrared burner do? ▶
The built-in infrared sear burner produces intense, focused high heat for fast, deep searing — ideal for steakhouse-style crusts — while the standard burners handle roasting, multi-zone cooking, and low-and-slow.
Does it run on natural gas or propane? ▶
Both. Select your fuel type — Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP) — using the options above. The grill ships configured for natural gas and includes a propane conversion kit if you need LP.
What cutout size do I need for installation? ▶
The required island cutout is 38.5" wide x 10" high x 22" deep. The overall grill measures 42" x 22" x 25.75". Always confirm against the spec sheet before cutting your island.
Is this a built-in or freestanding grill? ▶
It's a built-in grill designed to drop into an outdoor kitchen island cutout. An optional grill cart is available separately if you'd like to use it as a freestanding unit.
What clearances are required? ▶
Per the grill manual, maintain a minimum 24" clearance from combustible materials in all directions, and provide at least 2" of ventilation at the bottom of the enclosure. Combustible surfaces within 24" require a non-combustible heat barrier. The grill is certified to ANSI Z21.58-2022 / CSA 1.6-2022.
What's the grill made of? ▶
It's built from 304 stainless steel with Storm Guard engineering for corrosion resistance and year-round outdoor durability, with cast stainless steel Onyx Pro burners.
Can I grill at night? ▶
Yes. Dual interior lights illuminate the cook surface, and CoolTouch knobs plus a CoolGrip handle make it safe and comfortable to operate during long evening cooks.
How easy is it to clean and maintain? ▶
A full-width grease tray catches drippings for quick cleanup, and a quick-release panel provides easy access to internal components for service. The drip tray and grates should be cleaned regularly per the manual.
What accessories are available? ▶
Optional accessories sold separately include an Onyx sear burner, smoker box, charcoal tray, Videl Pro grates, commercial timer, grilling basket, wireless probe, grill cart, dual-tank regulator, and LP/NG quick-release.
How does it compare to the Gran Fuego 36? ▶
The 42" steps up from the 36" with an additional burner, a built-in infrared sear burner, more cooking surface (1,013 vs 860 sq in), and higher output — making it the better choice for larger gatherings and dedicated searing.
What does the warranty cover? ▶
Videl Grills USA's manufacturer warranty provides a limited lifetime warranty on the cast stainless steel burners, a two-year warranty on parts such as the fire box, hood, grates, and Flavor Bars, and a one-year warranty on components like the gas valve, knob, and light, for original purchasers in the US and Canada for residential use, with proof of purchase. See the Videl USA warranty for full terms.
