Alfresco 56" Insulated Jacket AIJ-56 - For 56" Built-In Grills, Combustible Construction

Alfresco 56" Insulated Jacket AIJ-56

The AIJ-56 is the insulating liner for Alfresco's flagship 56-inch grill, the largest professional grill the company builds. At that size, with three burners plus a sear zone, a rear infrared rotisserie burner, and an integrated smoker system, the thermal load on surrounding island structure is at its highest across the entire Alfresco range. If the island is combustible, this jacket is part of the installation.

It isolates the grill body from framing and cabinetry, protects adjacent finishes from sustained heat, and provides the properly engineered enclosure that an inspector will expect to see. Stainless steel construction matches the grill for outdoor durability and repeated heat cycling.

Key Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Which 56-inch grills does the AIJ-56 fit?
Alfresco lists the AIJ-56 as the insulated jacket for its 56-inch grills, which include the 56-inch Deluxe Grill (ALXE-56) and the 56-inch All Grill (ALXE-56BFG). Confirm the current spec sheet for your exact model before ordering.

Does the jacket change my cutout dimensions?
Yes, and on a 56-inch opening that difference matters a great deal. Frame to the jacket's spec sheet rather than the grill's, and confirm before any masonry or framing is poured or fixed.

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