Alfresco 42-Inch Gas Grill

Alfresco Open Air Culinary Systems

The Bottom Line

Alfresco grills are full functional gas grills that can do it all. Three main burners pump out over 80,000 BTUs with 770 square inches of cooking space. This grill, like most stainless steel grills in this price range is excellently built of high quality 304 stainless steel. It also has a full rotisserie system with infrared burner. What this grill lacks is good quality burners. The stainless steel tubular burners are thin and prone to burn through. While this is a great grill and certainly built to last there are other, better grills in this price range.

Pros

  • Superior construction
  • Full rotisserie system

Cons

  • Options drive up the price

Guide Review - Alfresco 42-Inch Gas Grill

This model has been discontinued. It is replaced by the Alfresco LX2 42" Grill

There are a lot of expensive stainless steel gas grills on the market. Most are well built of high quality stainless steel with welded seams and high gloss finishes. Alfresco is no exception to this. The big, beautiful gas grill is loaded with power and built to last. The high, even heating will generate high cooking temperatures and give you all you want out of a grill.

What detracts from this grill is the limited quality of the stainless steel tubular burners. These are among the thinnest metal burners in this price range and lack the durability of other grills. While this is a very good grill, you can do better at this price.
