The American Made Grills Alturi Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner (IRB-ALT) replaces one standard burner position with 26,000 BTUs of infrared heat — the kind of temperature that puts a proper crust on a ribeye in ninety seconds a side. It is the single most-requested upgrade on a premium grill, and on the Alturi platform it drops straight in. See the rest of our side and power burners from American Made Grills.
Infrared works differently from an open flame. Instead of heating air that then heats the food, the burner radiates directly onto the surface, which means far less moisture is driven off during the sear. The practical result is a darker crust and a juicier interior than the same steak cooked over a conventional burner at the same nominal BTU.
Sized specifically for the Alturi burner opening, so it seats correctly and the valve linkage lines up without modification.
Because it occupies a burner position rather than sitting on top of the grates, you keep full use of the cooking surface and lose nothing in hood clearance. Made in the USA and covered by the Gold Standard warranty with 100% non-prorated replacement parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
26,000 BTUs of infrared output from a single burner. It is a searing burner rather than a general-purpose one, and the number reflects heat put onto the food rather than into the air above it.
Yes. The IRB-ALT is sized specifically for the Alturi burner opening, so it seats correctly and the valve linkage lines up without modification.
It is the Alturi version of this burner. The Atlas, Estate and Hybrid platforms each take their own, so check the model code against your grill. See the rest of the American Made Grills burners.
It replaces one standard burner position. You are converting an existing position to infrared rather than adding capacity, so the grill keeps the same number of burner locations after the swap.
No. It occupies a burner position beneath the grates rather than sitting on top of them, so the usable cooking surface is unchanged and you lose nothing in hood clearance.
It radiates heat directly onto the surface of the food instead of heating air that then heats the food.
Far less moisture is driven off during the sear, which gives you a darker crust and a juicier interior than the same steak cooked over a conventional burner at the same nominal BTU.
One. For a wider infrared zone you would need more than one unit, and more than one position free to put them in.

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!
