• 770 sq. in. grilling area
• Two 18-SR stainless steel U-burners (55,000 BTUs total)
• Dedicated ceramic infrared Sear Burner (27,500 BTUs)

The Alfresco Sear Zone™ is a dedicated 27,500 BTU ceramic infrared burner capable of reaching temperatures up to 1,500°F in approximately four minutes.

• Why it matters: Traditional stainless burners cook primarily through convection (heated air). Infrared delivers direct radiant energy, allowing you to sear the exterior quickly while helping retain natural juices.
• Reduced flare-ups: The ceramic surface vaporizes drippings rapidly, producing flavorful smoke while minimizing grease flare-ups.

Unlike basic smoker boxes that sit on the grates, the ALXE-42SZ features a dedicated 5,000 BTU burner paired with a heavy-duty stainless steel drawer.

• Independent operation: Introduce smoke without running the main burners — ideal for delicate items such as fish or cheese.
• Precise adjustment: Control smoke intensity independently for balanced flavor.

Alfresco’s Safe-Touch™ air-cooled control panel separates the firebox from the valve and ignition components using an insulated air gap.

• Cooler controls: Knobs remain comfortable to operate even during high-heat cooking.
• Long-term durability: Reduced heat exposure helps protect valves and electronic components over time.

• Three-position warming rack (stores when using rotisserie)
• Dual integrated high-intensity halogen work lights
• Push-button ignition with sealed 110V AC power source

Personalize your grill with Alfresco standard color options (additional $540). Special-order colors typically require 6–8 weeks.
