American Made Grills Alturi 30" U-Tube Built-In Gas Grill ALT30T - 304 Stainless Steel

What size island cutout does the ALT30T need?

Not published by American Made Grills — confirm with the manufacturer before framing or cutting.

The grill head itself measures 30 inches wide by 29.36 inches deep by 25.484 inches tall.

Is a rotisserie kit included with the grill?

No. The infrared back burner is built into the grill, but the rotisserie kit itself is purchased separately.

If you plan to spit-roast, add the rotisserie kit sized for the Alturi 30 at the same time so the hardware matches the firebox.

What does the T in ALT30T stand for?

The U-tube stainless burner. Alturi models with the T designation run U-shaped 304 stainless steel main burners, which is what separates the series from the cast red brass burners used in the Estate line.

Why ceramic briquettes instead of steel flame tamers?

Ceramic holds heat and re-radiates it, so the hot line directly over each burner evens out across the grate. Drippings hit the briquettes and vaporize instead of pooling.

This is the flame tamer system Alturi uses in place of the steel tamers found elsewhere in the range.

Can I run two different temperatures side by side?

Yes. Stainless steel heat zone separators come with the grill, so you can hold a genuine searing zone at one end and a lower holding zone at the other rather than fighting one continuous heat field.

Is this grill usable after dark?

Yes. Interior halogen lights are angle-mounted so they wash the grate corner to corner instead of dropping a bright spot in the middle, and the control knobs are LED backlit so you can read your settings without a flashlight.

Does the ignition need batteries?

No. The ALT30T uses flame thrower ignition with a manual flash-tube backup, so there is nothing to replace and a way to light the burners by hand if the primary ignition ever fails.

Can I get it in natural gas or propane?

Both are available. The grill is built for one fuel or the other, so specify natural gas or liquid propane when you order to match the gas supply at the island.

How much does it weigh, and does that matter for the island?

198 pounds. That weight sits on the frame around the cutout, not on the countertop, so the opening needs to be built to carry it.

Do I need an insulating liner?

Only if the island is framed in a combustible material such as wood. In that case, use the insulating liner made for the Alturi 30 built-in grill, which is sized to this exact cutout.
