Alfresco 42" Insulated Jacket AIJ-42-01 - For 42" Built-In Grills, Combustible Construction

Alfresco 42" Insulated Jacket AIJ-42-01

The AIJ-42-01 is Alfresco's specified insulating liner for installing a 42-inch grill head into a combustible island. On a grill this size, running three burners plus a rear infrared rotisserie burner and an integrated smoker, the heat load against surrounding structure is significant. The jacket is what stands between that heat and your framing.

It also gives you a properly engineered enclosure rather than a field-improvised one, which matters for inspection as much as for longevity. Stainless steel construction means the liner matches the grill for outdoor durability and handles the same repeated heat cycling without degrading.

Key Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

When is an insulated jacket required?
Whenever the grill is installed into combustible island construction such as a wood or composite frame. Non-combustible masonry islands may not require one. Confirm against Alfresco's installation manual and local building code before framing your island.

Does the AIJ-42-01 fit both the ALXE-42 and the AIPG-42?
Alfresco lists the AIJ-42-01 as the insulated jacket for its 42-inch grills, including the ALXE-42 and the Intelligent Professional AIPG-42. Confirm the current spec sheet for your exact model before ordering.

Does the jacket change my cutout dimensions?
Yes. A jacketed installation needs a different opening than a bare built-in. Frame to the jacket's spec sheet rather than the grill's.

Is the grill included?
No. This is the insulated jacket only.
