Explore other sizes of this Aspire by Hestan Natural Gas freestanding grill with sear burner: 30 inch (current size) | 36 inch | 42 inch

Overall Dimensions: Width: 54.25", Depth: 27.687", Height: 51.25"

The Aspire by Hestan 30-inch natural gas grill with sear burner on the ECD30 tower cart runs one tubular U-burner plus one variable ceramic infrared sear burner, 23,000 BTU each, in a heavy-gauge 304 stainless welded body with 519 sq. in. of main grilling area. It suits a patio or yard where you want Aspire performance without building an island, and the head can move into one later. The value is in the details: an infrared sear burner for real steakhouse crust, flip-to-clean briquette trays that spread heat evenly and a halogen-lit, spring-assisted hood for grilling after dark.

Installation Notes

Keep the cart outdoors on a level surface, 12 in. from combustible walls at the sides and rear and never under an unprotected combustible overhang. Face the front into the prevailing wind; the hood exhausts at the rear. A natural gas cart connects to a fixed line through a 10 ft. approved hose, and in NYC that line is run by a licensed plumber under permit. We have installed outdoor kitchens across NYC and Long Island for over 30 years; book a design consultation and we will confirm gas, electrical and cutouts before it ships.

Documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this grill be built in later?

Yes. The head is the same EMB30-NG built-in unit and fits a 29 x 23-1/2 x 11-1/2 in. island cutout.

What does the sear burner add?

Intense infrared heat for a fast crust on steaks and chops. It is adjustable, so it also works as a normal zone.

Can I convert it to propane later?

Yes, with a Hestan conversion kit installed by a licensed gas professional.
