Alfresco Solid Fuel Insert SFI-POD - Drop-In Wood & Charcoal Insert for Alfresco Grills FAQs
How does the Solid Fuel Insert work?
It drops into the grill in place of the standard cooking surface. You fill it with hardwood, lump charcoal, or another solid fuel and light it, then cook over live coals while the grill body, hood, and rotisserie keep working as normal.
Do I lose gas grilling when I own one?
No. It lifts out by hand and the grill goes back to gas in seconds. That is the argument for the SFI-POD over a second grill: charcoal on Saturday, burners on Tuesday, one appliance and one island cutout.
Can I run wood and gas together?
The insert is designed for solid fuel cooking rather than simultaneous use. If what you want is wood smoke while cooking on gas, that is Alfresco's Signature Taste smoking system instead. Follow the care and use manual for your specific grill.
Which Alfresco grills does it fit?
Alfresco lists the SFI-POD across the ALXE range from 30-inch through 56-inch. Intelligent Professional grills use model-specific versions instead, the AIPG-SFI-POD36 and AIPG-SFI-POD42, so match the part to your series and not just the width.
It uses the same grill opening as the rest of the drop-in line, which you can see in Grilling Accessories.
Alfresco Solid Fuel Insert SFI-POD
The Solid Fuel Insert turns your gas Alfresco into a wood-fired grill without giving up the convenience of gas. Drop the specially designed insert into the grill, fill it with hardwood, lump charcoal, or another solid fuel, and you get genuine wood-cooking flavor from the same grill you use on a weeknight. When you want gas back, lift it out.
This is the accessory that answers the gas-versus-charcoal question by refusing it. Sear a steak over live coals on Saturday, run the burners on Tuesday, and never own two grills. It is part of Alfresco's plug-and-play drop-in accessory system, the same family as the Commercial Griddle, Indirect Roasting Pod, and Steamer/Fryer, all of which use the same grill opening.

Fast shipping and exactly what I needed

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!
Fabiane Da Silva
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.

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.
John L
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!
Barret Thompson
Great service, grill came within a week.
J. Will
Wouldn’t order from anyone else!
