What makes a built-in grill worth over $5,000?

Above $5,000 a built-in grill brings the thickest-gauge 304 stainless steel, the largest cooking surfaces and the most complete systems: infrared sear zones, integrated smokers, rotisseries, hybrid fuel and smart pellet controls. Sizes reach 56 inches and burner counts reach eight, past anything the lower tiers offer.

Do Alfresco built-in grills include a smoker?

How many burners do built-in grills over $5,000 have?

Burner counts here run from two to eight. The Alfresco 30-inch uses two burners at 36,000 BTUs, most 36 to 44 inch gas models use three or four, and the American Made Grills hybrids climb to five, six and eight, topping out at 176,000 BTUs on the 54-inch Ovation and Encore.

Is a luxury built-in grill a good long-term investment?

A grill at this level is built to last decades, so it often costs less per year of service than replacing a budget grill several times over. You are paying for heavy-gauge stainless steel, refined construction and features you keep using. Compare built-in grills from $3,500 to $5,000 if that is a stretch.
