Alfresco Indirect Roasting Pod AIC-POD - Drop-In Convection Roasting Insert with Drip Pan

Alfresco Indirect Roasting Pod AIC-POD

The Indirect Roasting Pod turns your Alfresco grill into a roasting oven. It drops into the grill and holds a drip pan beneath the food, so rendered fat collects and self-bastes the roast rather than dropping onto burners and flaring. Fire the adjacent burners rather than the ones directly below, and the hood circulates convection heat around the food instead of blasting it from underneath.

That is the difference between grilling a chicken and actually roasting one. Prime rib, pork shoulder, whole birds, and anything else that wants long, even, indirect heat comes out with a true slow-roast character. Combine it with Alfresco's Signature Taste smoke and herb infusion system and you can smoke-and-roast in the same session.

Key Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Indirect Roasting Pod work?
It drops into the grill and holds a drip pan below the food. You light the burners adjacent to the pod rather than directly beneath it, which turns the closed hood into a convection roasting chamber and keeps drippings out of the flame.

What is it good for cooking?
Anything that benefits from long, even, indirect heat: whole chickens and turkeys, prime rib, pork shoulder, large roasts. The drip pan catches rendered fat and self-bastes as it goes.

Can I smoke and roast at the same time?
Yes. Used together with Alfresco's Signature Taste smoke and herb infusion system, you can direct wood smoke into the cooking zone while roasting indirectly.

Which Alfresco grills does it fit?
Alfresco lists the AIC-POD as an accessory across its ALXE range from 30-inch to 56-inch, and on the Intelligent Professional grills. Confirm your model before ordering and we will verify fitment.
