Alfresco ALXE 36" Freestanding Cart Grill ALXE-36C - 3 Burners, 304 Stainless Steel with Rotisserie

Do I need to build an island for the ALXE-36C?

No. This is the freestanding cart version, so it rolls into place and needs no masonry work.

If you are building an island anyway, the 36" built-in grill head is the same size class in a drop-in format.

How much cooking surface do I get?

660 sq. in. on the main cooking surface, heated by three 18-SR stainless steel Accufire burners rated at 82,500 BTUs combined.

Three burners across that width let you hold a hot zone and a cooler holding zone at the same time rather than cooking everything at one temperature.

A 3-position adjustable warming rack sits above that for holding finished food.

Is there a rotisserie on the cart model?

Yes. The Mega-Drive rotisserie system is integrated and includes an 18,500 BTU rear infrared burner, the same setup Alfresco uses on its built-in heads.

Can I smoke on it?

Yes. The Signature Taste integrated smoking system runs on its own 5,000 BTU burner with a drawer for wood chunks, so you can smoke, roast, sear and grill on one appliance.

How fast does the optional Sear Zone burner get hot?

It reaches 1500°F in four minutes. It is an option on this grill rather than standard equipment.

Does the cart grill need an outlet?

Yes. Ignition is push-button with a sealed 110V AC power source, and the dual halogen work lights and LED-illuminated knobs draw from the same supply.

Freestanding does not mean cordless here. Site the cart near an exterior outlet.

What are the cooking grates made of?

Electro-polished stainless steel. The polished surface releases food more easily and wipes down faster than a rough casting.

Do the controls get hot?

The SafeTouch air-cooled control panel is designed to keep the front of the grill cool while the burners are running.

Which fuel can I order it in?

Liquid propane or natural gas. The configuration is fixed at the factory, so order the one that matches your supply.

What can I add to it later?

Alfresco lists the infrared Sear Zone, a solid fuel insert, a commercial griddle and an indirect roasting pod as optional additions.

The solid fuel insert lets you run wood or charcoal in a gas grill, and the roasting pod turns the hood into a convection oven.

What is the cart built from?

Commercial-grade 304 stainless steel, chosen for durability and heat retention outdoors.
