What types of Alfresco burners are available?
Alfresco builds three burner units for outdoor kitchens: the Sear Zone side burner AXESZ with ceramic infrared and electronic ignition, the AXESB-2 double side burner with two brass burners at 40,000 BTUs total and a wind-guard design, and the 24-inch Versa Power AXEVP power burner with dual burners at 65,000 BTUs.
What is the Alfresco Sear Zone side burner used for?
The Alfresco Sear Zone side burner AXESZ uses ceramic infrared heat to reach the high temperatures needed for searing steaks and chops beside the grill. It is built in commercial stainless steel with electronic ignition. Choose it over a standard side burner when searing, not simmering, is the job you need done.
What is the difference between an Alfresco side burner and a power burner?
An Alfresco side burner handles cooktop work: the AXESB-2 runs two brass burners for 40,000 BTUs total behind a wind guard, which suits sauces, sides and two pots at once. The 24-inch Versa Power AXEVP is a power burner delivering 65,000 BTUs from dual burners, meant for boiling large pots and high-output frying.
Do Alfresco burners come in natural gas and propane?
Alfresco burners are offered in natural gas and propane versions. Match the burner to the gas supply already serving the island, or plan for the correct conversion fittings. Confirm the fuel type on the product page before ordering rather than after, since these are permanent built-in units.
Can Alfresco burners be built into an existing island?
Yes. Alfresco burners are built-in units designed to mount into an outdoor kitchen island, and each product page lists the cutout dimensions you need. Measure the available run and the countertop opening before ordering so the unit sits flush. See the rest of the burners range to compare.
