The Fire Magic Echelon E660 is a high-end built-in gas grill designed for outdoor cooking enthusiasts. Featuring sleek and modern stainless steel construction, this grill adds style and functionality to any outdoor kitchen. One of the notable features of the Fire Magic Echelon E660 is its impressive cooking power. The grill is equipped with six main burners, each capable of producing up to 26,000 BTUs of heat. This powerful heat output ensures fast and even cooking, allowing users to achieve perfect sear marks on their steaks and burgers. The E660 also comes with a dedicated infrared burner, which is perfect for searing and locking in the juices of your favorite meats.
I resisted the urge to say, “magic dust” because it probably isn’t good parenting to cite Cheech and Chong explanations for life’s mysteries. So I just said something like, “The same way he can go super fast, he can also make himself super small,” then changed the subject to something like the ongoing saga of unrequited love between Austin and Ally.
I let her, of course, because I was doing this same chore at her age and now I was getting a little dose of how my parents must have felt while I was up there, dancing around and flirting with the edge. She studied the structure, then gave me a look that was reminiscent of a young Natalie Wood sitting on the store Santa s lap in Miracle on 34th Street, and said, I thought this opening would be way bigger.

Oh boy, my little girl is growing up
Watching a daughter grow up fills a father with a conflicting combination of pride and fear. Annelise has always been pretty advanced. She was midway through her “terrible 2’s” by 18 months, she’s argued as tenaciously as a defense lawyer since she was 6 and she mastered the teen sigh-and-eye-roll combo by 8.
Now at 10, she’s acting her age in a couple of ways that show some refreshing naivety, but it’s a little depressing, too.
A couple of weeks ago, while I was driving us somewhere, she looked at me, out of the blue, and said, “I know what the f-word is.”
I just grinned and said, “Well, that money we’re dishing out for Christian school is the only thing that kept you from hearing it for this long.”
That was inevitable, of course. You can’t shield them from the world, you can only try to prepare them for it.
But now, as we get ready for her favorite time of year, Christmas, she dropped this bombshell on her mother: “I know you’re Santa.”
Yes, it’s a sad day. But it would be even sadder if she was 14 and still believing that a fat guy in a red suit with a reindeer-pulled sleigh carries toys to every kid in the world in one night. Heck, she knows that it takes two hours to get from Grammie’s house in Madison to Laurel and she knows that there are only 24 hours in a day … There are some disadvantages to teaching them math in the form of word problems.
Still, I feel sort of responsible for her figuring out the whole Santa mystery, even though I’d like to blame the same little urchin who revealed the last three letters of the f-word.
It happened last weekend while I was at my parents’ house. Once a year or so, I go up on top of their house and sweep out the leaves that have collected in the roof valleys, trapping in moisture.
Like me, Annelise has an adventurous spirit, a daredevil side — something else that gives me a mixture of pride and fear. So when she saw me putting the ladder on the side of the house, she begged to go up with me. I let her, of course, because I was doing this same chore at her age (and now I was getting a little dose of how my parents must have felt while I was up there, dancing around and flirting with the edge).
While we were up there, I told her about my other twice-a-year chore on the roof — taking a little piece of plywood and a couple of bricks on and off the top of the chimney to keep the chimney sweeps from going in there and building nests. I explained how that could block the smoke from getting out and even start a fire. It also reminded me of the times that one of the little birds actually got in the house and I had to catch them or shoo them out a door. She didn’t see a downside to having a bird in the house, but she understood the other hazards.
But as we stood beside the chimney, she started understanding more than I realized. She studied the structure, then gave me a look that was reminiscent of a young Natalie Wood sitting on the store Santa’s lap in “Miracle on 34th Street,” and said, “I thought this opening would be way bigger. How does Santa fit in here?”
I resisted the urge to say, “magic dust” because it probably isn’t good parenting to cite Cheech and Chong explanations for life’s mysteries. So I just said something like, “The same way he can go super fast, he can also make himself super small,” then changed the subject to something like the ongoing saga of unrequited love between Austin and Ally.
But I could see her mind pondering … “How’d he make that bike small enough to fit? Or that dollhouse? Or that mini kitchen? Did Santa cuss and throw down tools like Daddy when he was putting it together? And if it took him as many hours to assemble it as Daddy did, he couldn’t ever make it out of south Madison County before daybreak …”
The ruse is over, but that’s OK. In fact, I see the benefit of her knowing the truth. Santa is a fantasy, so he has no budget. Her parents, on the other hand, have spending limits, so wish lists need to be made accordingly. I can tell her that now, so her discovery is good for me, bad for her.
I’m going to enjoy that while I can because the next signs of her growing up aren’t going to be nearly as easy to take. I got a little dose of that the other day when she greeted me wearing eyeliner that looked like it had been applied by Alice Cooper. “What the hell is that on your face?” I asked, sounding sort of like Tommy Lee Jones in “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
She was taken aback, whimpered a little and said, “I thought it made me pretty.”
And like every struggling-to-be-a-good-daddy says, I told her, “You are so beautiful without all of that.”
Then it became clear that it’s not our approval she’s looking for. No, it’s Michael … or Paxton.
Before long, I’ll be yearning for those innocent days again. Maybe I’ll make my own Christmas list.
Dear Santa, I’ve been a pretty good boy, but I’m not sure about some of these other boys, so please bring me a .45 this year …

Reviews for "Get the Best Grilling Results with Fire Magic Echelon E660"
1. John Doe - 2/5
I was really disappointed with the Fire Magic Echelon E660 grill. First of all, it was incredibly difficult to assemble. The instructions were poorly written and it took hours to put together. Secondly, the grill did not heat up evenly. Some areas of the cooking surface were scorching hot, while others barely warmed up. This made it difficult to cook food properly. Lastly, the grill was not durable. After just a few uses, the cast iron grates started to rust and the stainless steel exterior lost its shine. Overall, I would not recommend this grill.
2. Jane Smith - 1/5
I had high hopes for the Fire Magic Echelon E660, but it turned out to be a complete disappointment. The grill took forever to heat up and even then, it didn't reach high enough temperatures for proper searing. I also found that the temperature control was unpredictable, leading to overcooked and undercooked food. Additionally, the grill was prone to flare-ups, making it difficult to cook without charred spots. The ash cleanup process was also a hassle, as the grill didn't have an easy-to-use and efficient ash removal system. I regret spending my money on this subpar grill and would advise others to look elsewhere.
3. Sarah Johnson - 2/5
I purchased the Fire Magic Echelon E660 with high expectations, but unfortunately, it did not live up to them. The grill was not very user-friendly, with a confusing control panel and difficult-to-adjust burners. The heat distribution was also uneven, which resulted in inconsistent cooking results. Additionally, I found that the grill had poor insulation, leading to a lot of heat loss and longer cooking times. The grill also lacked some essential features, such as a built-in smoker box. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance and functionality of this grill.
