| Cutout (W × D × H) | 42.5" × 23.25" × 21.75" |

42 1/2" wide by 21 3/4" high by 23 1/4" deep. The unit itself measures 44 11/16"W x 24 3/16"H x 26 15/16"D.
Confirm those against the current spec sheet before framing, since the cutout has to be right the first time in masonry.
Yes. It is built to slide directly beneath a 42-inch Alfresco grill head, or into any 42-inch island cutout on its own.
That places cold storage directly under the cooking surface instead of across the patio.
7.25 cubic feet split between a shelved door section and a two-drawer marinating section.
The door section has one adjustable stainless wire shelf. The two drawers take removable NSF food pans, so proteins can marinate in the pan and go straight to the grill.
27°F to 56°F, digitally adjustable, which is a wider band than most outdoor refrigerators.
That range covers raw proteins at the bottom and wine or produce at the top.
No. The ARXE-42 is fully front-breathing, drawing air in and exhausting it through the front, so it can be enclosed on the sides and back in a masonry or framed island.
This is the built-in model that drops into an island cutout. The ARXE-42C is the cart version, which carries an Alfresco grill head on a freestanding refrigerated cart.
Yes, and the marinating drawers include removable NSF food pans.
A 1,000 BTU all-weather refrigeration system paired with a commercial fan-driven fin evaporator, backed by commercial polyurethane shot-in-place foam insulation.
Alfresco was the first manufacturer to build a true all-weather outdoor refrigerator, and this platform is the result.
The Flash Recovery System pulls the interior back down to temperature quickly, which matters during a long cookout when the door is opened constantly.
304 stainless steel inside and out, built to the same standard as the grill head above it.
Digital controls with a lighted display, plus door-activated interior lighting so you can see inside at night.
The Alfresco ARXE-42 is a restaurant-inspired, all-weather outdoor refrigerator built to slide directly beneath a 42-inch Alfresco grill head or into any 42-inch outdoor kitchen island cutout. Its 7.25 cubic feet of capacity is split between a shelved door section and a two-drawer marinating section, so proteins, sauces, and beverages stay organized and genuinely cold even when your patio is not.
Alfresco was the first manufacturer to build a true all-weather outdoor refrigerator, and the ARXE-42 remains one of the most capable units in the category. A 1,000 BTU refrigeration system paired with a commercial fan-driven fin evaporator holds temperatures anywhere from 27°F to 56°F, and the Flash Recovery System pulls the interior back down to temperature quickly after the door has been open through a long cookout. Commercial polyurethane shot-in-place foam insulation and all-304-stainless construction inside and out mean it is built to the same standard as the grill above it.

Fast shipping and exactly what I needed
100% as advertised. The cover fit perfectly, looks great and was delivered quickly. Highly recommend....
I absolutely love my Coyote gas grill! The quality is excellent, it looks beautiful, and I’m very happy with my purchase.
I also want to give a special thank you to Ryan at Northwoods Grills. He was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. Before my grill even arrived, he took the time to help me with measurements and answered all of my questions to make sure everything would fit properly. He was always very attentive, patient, friendly, and easy to communicate with. His customer service really made a difference and made the whole experience so much easier for me.
It’s not often that you receive this level of personal attention and customer service. I truly appreciate all of Ryan’s help and would absolutely recommend Northwoods Grills. Great product and outstanding customer service!
Best pricing available for the product (checked all other on line retailers), and Ryan provided excellent responsiveness during the sales process. Loved dealing directly with the owner vs a sales person.
Delivery was completed within a week of the order and Ryan stayed in touch with consistent follow-up to ensure the products met my expectations.
Will recommend to friends / others looking for a high-end built in grill and matching cabinets.
Great experience with Northwood Grills! I purchased a hood from them and it was delivered quickly and exactly as expected. Ryan was great to work with—helpful, responsive, and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend!
Good sink. Came with all parts as described.
Excellent service and fast shipping!
Don’t know how i ever cooked without this before. Love the char this locks in the meat every time. May add a second one to the other end of the grill.
Great quality.
I was caught in a bind with a DIFFERENT provider, and Ryan was able to get me exactly what I needed, he reached out to the manufacturer for me to confirm specs and had my shipment mailed out same day. If you’re in the market for any outdoor kitchen needs, look no further than Northwoods!
Great service, grill came within a week.
Wouldn’t order from anyone else!
