The ASZG is the cooking grate Artisan designs to go over it. Instead of flat rods it uses a V-shaped \"flavorizer\" profile, which Alfresco (Artisan's manufacturer) describes as capturing the juices, fats and flavors that fall from the food and caramelizing them back onto it. That matters more over an infrared burner than anywhere else on the grill, because the Sear Zone runs far hotter at the surface than a tube burner and cooks with very little flare-up, so drippings that would otherwise simply burn away have somewhere to go. Alfresco lists the ASZG as an optional accessory across the American Eagle, Artisan Series and Professional ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade for the Artisan Sear Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e — Alfresco specifies it for use with the optional ART-ISB infrared sear burner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV-shaped flavorizer profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — channels drippings and caramelizes them back onto the food rather than letting them fall straight through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with a 20,000 BTU infrared burner\u003c\/strong\u003e — the ART-ISB is a ceramic infrared burner Artisan says cooks up to 50% faster with virtually no flare-ups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks wherever the sear burner goes\u003c\/strong\u003e — the ART-ISB can replace a U-burner in the left, center or right position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed across three grill lines\u003c\/strong\u003e — Alfresco shows the ASZG as an optional accessory on American Eagle, Artisan Series and Professional series pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop-in grate\u003c\/strong\u003e — no tools or hardware; it sits in the grill like the standard grates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArtisan (Alfresco)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASZG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSear Zone cooking grate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV-shaped flavorizer grate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor use with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArtisan ART-ISB Sear Zone infrared burner (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArtisan American Eagle 26\/32\/36, Artisan Series 36 and 42, Professional 32 and 36 (built-in and cart)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop-in, no hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2501\/1842\/files\/ART-ISB-SEAR-BURNER-INSTALLATION.pdf?v=1789499481\" title=\"Artisan ART-ISB sear burner installation instructions\"\u003eArtisan ART-ISB sear burner installation instructions (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel and Installation Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASZG is a grate, not a burner.

It also says the briquette tray must not be installed on top of the sear burner. Once the ART-ISB is in, the ASZG drops into place above it. Alfresco does not publish dimensions for the ASZG, and it is not listed on every Artisan grill page, so if your grill is not named above, call us with the model number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Model Is Best For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grate is for an Artisan owner who has fitted, or is about to fit, the Sear Zone infrared burner and cooks a lot of steaks, chops and burgers at high heat. Paired with the ART-ISB it turns one section of a standard Artisan grill into a dedicated searing station while the other burners stay available for lower-heat cooking. If you have not bought the sear burner yet, order the two together. If you mainly cook chicken, fish and vegetables, the standard grates will serve you well without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying From Northwoods Grills\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorthwoods Grills is a family-owned retailer in Charleston, South Carolina.
