The Alfresco ALXE Series is built for outdoor cooks who want premium gas-grill performance without making smart controls and app connectivity the center of the experience. Made from commercial-grade stainless steel, ALXE Luxury Grills combine Alfresco's Accufire™ burner system with integrated smoking, rotisserie cooking, high-intensity work lighting, and a wide range of specialty cooking accessories. The current lineup gives you considerably more size and configuration choices than many premium grill series, ranging from compact 30-inch models to expansive 56-inch grills.
Whether you are planning a new outdoor kitchen or upgrading an existing cooking area, the ALXE lineup gives you several ways to match the grill to how you actually cook. You can choose from 30-, 36-, 42-, and 56-inch Alfresco ALXE grills, with selected models offering infrared searing, integrated side cooking, or refrigeration.

Choose the Right Alfresco ALXE Luxury Grill
The biggest advantage of the ALXE Series is choice. Rather than forcing every outdoor kitchen into one or two grill widths, Alfresco offers several sizes that range from a compact premium grill to a large cooking station designed for frequent entertaining. The core ALXE experience remains familiar throughout the line, with Accufire™ stainless steel burners, the Signature Taste™ smoking system, Mega-Drive™ rotisserie cooking, and heavy-duty stainless steel construction.
Alfresco ALXE 30-Inch Grill
The ALXE-30 is the most compact grill in the series and is a strong choice when outdoor kitchen space is limited but you do not want to give up Alfresco's main luxury-grill features. It uses two Accufire™ main burners and provides 542 square inches of actual grilling area while still including the integrated Signature Taste™ smoker and Mega-Drive™ rotisserie system.
For smaller islands, patios, or outdoor kitchens where counter space is valuable, the 30-inch ALXE gives you a more manageable footprint than the larger models while retaining the cooking character of the ALXE platform.
Alfresco ALXE 36-Inch and 42-Inch Grills
The 36-inch ALXE moves up to three Accufire™ main burners and 660 square inches of actual grilling area, making it a well-balanced choice for many residential outdoor kitchens. It provides noticeably more room than the 30-inch model without moving into the footprint of Alfresco's largest grills.
The 42-inch ALXE increases the grilling area to 770 square inches while retaining three main burners. This size makes sense for customers who cook for larger groups, regularly prepare several foods at once, or simply want more room to divide the grill into different cooking zones.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe and All Grill Models
The 56-inch ALXE models are where the series becomes especially distinctive. The ALXE-56 Deluxe Grill combines 770 square inches of grilling area with an integrated dual side burner, creating a larger cooking station where grilling and cookware cooking can happen in the same appliance. It is a useful setup for customers who regularly prepare sauces, sides, seafood boils, or other foods alongside what is cooking on the grill.
The ALXE-56BFG All Grill takes a different approach. Instead of dedicating part of the 56-inch width to side burners, it expands the grilling surface to 998 square inches and adds a dedicated Sear Zone™ infrared burner alongside three Accufire™ main burners. If your priority is maximum grilling and searing space, the 56-inch All Grill is the more natural choice. If you want integrated burner space for pots and pans, the 56-inch Deluxe may fit your cooking style better.
Selected 42- and 56-inch ALXE configurations also combine the grill with refrigerated storage underneath, giving customers another option when designing a more self-contained outdoor cooking station.
ALXE Cooking Features
Accufire Burner and Heat Distribution System
ALXE grills use Alfresco's 18-SR stainless steel Accufire™ burners as the primary heat source. Refractive ceramic heat-distributing briquettes sit between the burners and cooking grates to help spread radiant heat across the grilling surface. Heavy-duty electro-polished stainless steel cooking grates complete the primary cooking system.
Customers who want concentrated infrared heat can select an optional Sear Zone™ on compatible ALXE configurations. On most ALXE models, the Sear Zone replaces one of the standard burner positions. The 56-inch All Grill is different because its larger layout provides a dedicated infrared Sear Zone in addition to its three primary Accufire burners.
Signature Taste Smoking System
One of the defining features of the Alfresco Luxury Grill Series is the Signature Taste™ integrated smoking system. A dedicated smoker burner and drawer allow wood chunks and herbs to be used while cooking, giving you another way to add smoke flavor without requiring a separate smoker for every meal.
The smoker also works well with the broader selection of Alfresco specialty cooking accessories, allowing the grill to handle much more than conventional direct grilling.
Mega-Drive Rotisserie and Hood Lighting
ALXE grills also include Alfresco's Mega-Drive™ rotisserie system with an infrared rear burner. The motor is integrated into the grill rather than hanging from an external bracket, keeping the cooking area cleaner while supporting dedicated rotisserie cooking.
Integrated high-intensity halogen work lights illuminate the cooking surface for evening use, while the Precision-Point™ control-panel lighting makes the front controls easier to see after dark. The EZ-Lift™ hood-assist system helps manage the weight of the stainless steel hood during normal grilling.
Alfresco ALXE vs. AIPG Grills
If you are comparing the Alfresco ALXE Series vs. AIPG Series, the choice comes down less to basic build quality and more to what kind of grilling experience you want. ALXE is Alfresco's traditional luxury-grill platform, while the Alfresco AIPG Intelligent Professional Grill Series adds a newer generation of temperature monitoring, lighting, burner, and smart-control technology.
The AIPG Series uses CoreFlame™ burners and Thermaglass™ radiant burner shields and adds features such as the Intelli-Temp™ smart grilling system, Sensa-Tek™ wireless temperature probe, four-zone digital temperature display, LumaTouch™ controls, GraviLift™ hood system, and Signature Taste X2™ smoker. If app connectivity and integrated digital cooking feedback are important to you, AIPG is the more advanced choice.
That does not automatically make AIPG the better grill for every customer. ALXE may be the better choice if you prefer straightforward grill controls and do not need app-based temperature monitoring. You still get Alfresco's integrated smoker, rotisserie, lighting, premium stainless steel construction, and optional infrared searing, but the grill remains centered on hands-on cooking rather than connected features.
ALXE also gives you more freedom when choosing a grill size. AIPG is currently focused on 36- and 42-inch models, while ALXE extends from 30 inches all the way to 56 inches. That matters if you need a compact 30-inch grill or want the extra capacity and specialty configurations available with the 56-inch Deluxe and All Grill models.
For many buyers, that is the simplest way to make the decision: choose AIPG when smart monitoring and Alfresco's newest control technology are priorities; choose ALXE when you want a more traditional luxury grilling experience, a broader choice of sizes, or one of the unique 56-inch configurations.
More Ways to Cook with an Alfresco ALXE Grill
ALXE grills support a wide range of Alfresco drop-in cooking accessories, which can significantly change how the grill is used. Available options include a steamer/fryer/pasta cooker, solid-fuel insert, commercial griddle, and indirect roasting pod. Depending on your cooking style, these accessories can let the same grill handle everything from breakfast and flat-top cooking to charcoal or wood cooking, steaming, frying, and slow roasting.
You can continue building around the grill with matching storage, side cookers, refrigeration, and other components found in our Alfresco outdoor kitchen collection. Always confirm that an accessory is designed for the exact ALXE size and configuration before ordering.

Alfresco ALXE Series FAQs
Should I buy an Alfresco ALXE or AIPG grill?
Choose the ALXE Series if you prefer a more traditional premium grilling experience, want more grill-size choices, or do not need app-based temperature monitoring and digital smart controls. Choose AIPG if features such as Intelli-Temp™ smartphone connectivity, a wireless temperature probe, digital multi-zone temperature monitoring, LumaTouch™ controls, and the newer CoreFlame™ and Thermaglass™ cooking system are priorities. ALXE is available in 30-, 36-, 42-, and 56-inch sizes, while the current AIPG grill lineup is focused on 36- and 42-inch models. See our Alfresco AIPG Series if you want to compare the intelligent-grill models.
What size Alfresco ALXE grill should I choose?
The right Alfresco ALXE grill size depends on available space and how much cooking surface you regularly use. The ALXE-30 provides 542 square inches of grilling area, the ALXE-36 provides 660 square inches, and the ALXE-42 provides 770 square inches. The 56-inch lineup adds either a 770-square-inch Deluxe configuration with an integrated dual side burner or the 998-square-inch All Grill for customers who want maximum grilling and searing space. Always verify overall dimensions, cutout dimensions, and required clearances before ordering.
What is the difference between the Alfresco ALXE-56 Deluxe and ALXE-56 All Grill?
The ALXE-56 Deluxe combines 770 square inches of grilling area with an integrated dual side burner, while the ALXE-56BFG All Grill dedicates more of its width to grilling and provides 998 square inches of grilling area with three Accufire™ main burners plus a dedicated infrared Sear Zone™. Choose the Deluxe if having integrated burners for pots and pans is useful to you; choose the All Grill if your priority is maximum grilling and high-heat searing space.
Can I get an Alfresco ALXE grill with an infrared Sear Zone?
Yes, infrared Sear Zone™ configurations are available within the ALXE Series, but how the Sear Zone is incorporated depends on the model. On compatible 30-, 36-, 42-, and 56-inch configurations, a standard burner position can be configured with infrared searing, while the 56-inch All Grill includes a dedicated Sear Zone in addition to its three main burners. Check the exact model and selected configuration before ordering to confirm what is included.
Do Alfresco ALXE grills require electricity as well as gas?
Yes. Alfresco ALXE grills use Natural Gas or Liquid Propane and also require a sealed 110V AC power source for features such as ignition and integrated lighting. For a built-in outdoor kitchen, gas supply, electrical placement, ventilation, clearances, and any insulated-jacket requirements should be planned before construction. Requirements vary by grill size and installation, so refer to the current Alfresco specifications and installation instructions for your exact model.
