Alfresco AIPG Intelligent Grills
The Alfresco AIPG (“Intelligent Grill”) brings precision, smart technology, and commercial-grade construction to the luxury outdoor kitchen. Available in 36" and 42", AIPG pairs high-performance burners with digital monitoring, wireless temperature tracking, and modern radiant technology—making it Alfresco’s most technology-forward grill platform to date.
Where traditional grills rely on hood-mounted thermometers, AIPG provides grate-level temperature accuracy, multi-zone digital readouts, and a fully integrated Sensa-Tek™ wireless probe system. Whether you’re reverse-searing, smoking, roasting, or high-heat grilling, AIPG helps you cook with confidence and repeatable results.
Key Features of the AIPG Series
- ThermaGlass™ Curved Radiant Shields help stabilize heat, reduce flare-ups, and promote even cooking surface temperatures.
- CoreFlame™ Dynamically Ported H-Burners deliver intense, stable heat with excellent low-to-high range control.
- Optional Configurable Sear Zones let you choose where the high-heat burner goes—left, center, or right—based on how you cook.
- Sensa-Tek™ Wireless Probe integrates into the grill’s intelligent system for precise food temperature monitoring.
- Intelli-Temp™ Digital Monitoring displays real-time temperatures by zone at the cooking surface (not just at the hood).
- Mega-Drive™ Rotisserie handles large roasts with smooth, commercial-grade rotation.
- Signature Taste X2™ Smoker Drawer adds wood flavor without sacrificing primary grilling space.
- Gravi-Lift™ Counterbalanced Hood opens smoothly and holds position for better access and heat control.
- LumaTouch™ Lighting includes multi-color control knob illumination and bright triple interior halogens.
What Makes the AIPG Series Different?
AIPG is built for grillers who love control, consistency, and data-driven cooking. Instead of relying on hood temps—which can read 50–100°F differently from the cooking surface—AIPG reads heat where it matters: right at the grate level.
- Real-time cooking surface temperatures for more reliable results
- Wireless food probe integration with digital displays
- Flexible burner configuration to match your cooking style
- Modern radiant technology for smoother, more even heat distribution
The result is a grill that delivers more confidence—and more consistency—than traditional analog models, without taking away the hands-on skill that makes grilling enjoyable.

- AIPG-36 — Ideal for families or standard outdoor kitchens. Full AIPG technology in a more compact footprint.
