Alfresco Built-In Grills

Alfresco is a luxury outdoor kitchen brand whose built-in grills sit at the top end of the residential market, with commercial-derived construction, integrated smokers, and infrared rotisserie systems as standard equipment rather than upgrades.

Where many premium brands compete on burner count, Alfresco competes on cooking systems: sear zones, smoker drawers, and hood engineering. Browse the full Alfresco collection or go straight to Alfresco built-in grills.

Alfresco's built-in range covers two families:

• ALXE Series: the core luxury built-in line, offered as the 30-inch ALXE-30, the 36-inch ALXE-36, the 42-inch ALXE-42, and the 56-inch ALXE-56.

• Intelligent Professional (AIPG): the 42-inch AIPG-42, offering 987 square inches in 304 stainless steel with rotisserie.

ALXE is the series most buyers start with. It spans 30 to 56 inches and layers in Alfresco's signature systems as you move up: Accufire burners, an integrated smoker, the EZ-Lift hood, infrared rotisserie, and on the 56-inch, a dedicated sear zone plus an integrated side burner.

Intelligent Professional is the more commercially derived platform. The AIPG-42 delivers 987 square inches of cooking area in 304 stainless with rotisserie, ordered in either propane or natural gas.

Choose ALXE if you want the full Alfresco feature set at a range of sizes. Choose AIPG if you want the professional-grade platform at 42 inches.

Alfresco built-in grills are available in 30-inch, 36-inch, 42-inch, and 56-inch configurations.

The 36-inch and 42-inch models are the common residential choices. The 56-inch ALXE is a genuinely large appliance, built for entertaining kitchens with the island footprint to support it, and it includes an integrated side burner in the same cutout.

Select the exact model before island construction so your contractor works from the manufacturer's current cutout dimensions. This matters more with Alfresco than with most brands, because the larger models carry substantial weight and clearance requirements.

For most luxury residential kitchens, the 36-inch ALXE-36 is the balanced choice, with three Accufire burners, the integrated smoker, and the EZ-Lift hood.

For serious entertaining, the 42-inch ALXE-42 adds the infrared rotisserie and smoker system, and the AIPG-42 offers the professional platform at the same width.

For a compact luxury island, the 30-inch ALXE-30 keeps the Alfresco build in a two-burner, 36,000 BTU footprint. Our general built-in grill FAQs cover island planning.

Several Alfresco built-ins include a built-in smoker system rather than requiring a separate smoker box or a second appliance.

The practical benefit is that you can run wood smoke on one zone of the grill while cooking conventionally on the rest, which is difficult to do well on a standard gas grill.

If integrated smoking matters to you, compare the ALXE models against multi-fuel hybrid built-in grills, which take a different approach to the same goal.

The AIPG-42 and the ALXE-30 specify 304 stainless steel, the grade used across premium built-in grills for its corrosion resistance.

Alfresco builds in stainless throughout the range. Confirm the specification for the exact model you are ordering, and plan on routine cleaning and a fitted grill cover regardless of grade.

Yes. Alfresco built-in grills are designed for installation into an outdoor kitchen island.

Before construction, verify the manufacturer's current:

• Cutout width

• Cutout depth

• Cutout height

• Combustible clearances

• Ventilation requirements

• Gas connection requirements

• Insulating-jacket requirements

• Structural support for the grill's weight

The last point deserves emphasis on the larger ALXE models. See our outdoor kitchen expert advice for island planning guidance.

An insulating grill liner may be required when a built-in grill is installed into an island built from combustible materials such as wood framing.

Whether one is required depends on the model, surrounding construction, and the clearances given in the installation instructions. Our insulating grill liner FAQs explain when a liner is needed and how to match one to your grill.

Yes. Alfresco built-in grills are offered in natural gas and propane configurations, with the AIPG-42 ordered in one or the other.

Given the burner output on these grills, confirm that your gas supply and line sizing can support the appliance before installation. Undersized supply is a common cause of disappointing performance on high-BTU grills.

Our natural gas and propane grill FAQs compare the two in detail.

Alfresco grills are commonly specified in coastal luxury homes, and their stainless construction supports that use.

Even so, salt, humidity, grease, and airborne contaminants should be cleaned off regularly, and the grill should be kept covered when not in use. See our grill cover FAQs for sizing help.

Alfresco's differentiator is that its signature cooking systems are built in rather than optional: integrated smokers, infrared rotisserie, sear zones, and the EZ-Lift hood.

Shoppers cross-shopping American Made Grills, Coyote, or Artisan should consider Alfresco when the outdoor kitchen is a primary cooking space rather than an occasional one, and when budget allows for a commercially derived appliance.

Alfresco sits firmly in the over $5,000 built-in grill tier, and it is not the right answer for every kitchen.

It makes sense for homeowners who cook outdoors frequently, want smoking and rotisserie capability without adding appliances, and are building a kitchen intended to last decades.

For occasional cooking, a grill from the $2,000 to $3,500 tier will serve well and leave budget for refrigeration, storage, and hood ventilation.

The 56-inch ALXE-56, which combines a dedicated sear zone, a rear infrared burner, and an integrated side burner in a single cutout.

If 56 inches is more island than you have, the 42-inch ALXE-42 delivers the infrared rotisserie and smoker system in a more common opening.

The 36-inch ALXE-36. Three Accufire burners, the integrated smoker, and the EZ-Lift hood cover everyday grilling and weekend projects without committing to a 42-inch or larger cutout.

For smaller islands, the 30-inch ALXE-30 retains the Alfresco build with two burners, 36,000 BTUs, rotisserie, and smoker.

Before ordering, settle on your series, size, fuel type, gas line capacity, and available island space, and verify the exact cutout dimensions and structural requirements before any masonry or cabinetry work begins.

For a new build, select the grill and major appliances first so your contractor can design the island around real equipment specifications. If you are planning a full outdoor kitchen, request a quote and we can spec the package with you.

Alfresco backs its grills with a manufacturer's warranty that varies by component. See our warranty information for current coverage, and general brand questions are answered in the Alfresco FAQs.
