Alfresco ALXE Series · 56" Deluxe Built-In · Sear Zone · Made in the USA

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Built-In Deluxe Grill With Sear Zone, Rotisserie And Side Burner

Steakhouse sear, a double side burner and room for a crowd, built into your outdoor kitchen.

This is the grill for the cook who wants the whole meal at one station: steaks on the grates, sides and sauces on the burners. A 1,500°F infrared Sear Zone sits beside two Accufire burners over ceramic briquettes, so you get a hard sear on one side and steady, forgiving heat on the other, and a built-in double side burner with two 20,000 BTU brass burners handles the pots and pans. Every tool a serious cook reaches for is already built in: a chain-driven rotisserie, a dedicated wood smoker, work lights and a control panel that stays cool at full fire. The 770-square-inch main grate holds about 32 burgers at once.

Who it is for

Is the ALXE-56SZ Your Grill?

Every Alfresco is built in the same California plant from the same 304 stainless, so choosing one is about how you cook and the space you have. Here is who the ALXE-56SZ is made for, based on the questions we hear most from Alfresco shoppers.

Built for you

The ALXE-56SZ fits you if…

  • ✓You want a true steakhouse crust: a 1,500°F infrared Sear Zone right beside a gentler briquette zone.
  • ✓You cook in two zones, searing hard on one side and finishing low on the other, plus a crisp rotisserie crust on chicken and roasts.
  • ✓You would rather turn a knob than open an app: no pairing, no updates, no screens.
  • ✓You want the grill and a stovetop in one unit: a 40,000 BTU double side burner for corn, sauces and sides right next to the grates.
  • ✓You want a real built-in rotisserie and smoker, not add-on kits that clutter the patio.
  • ✓You value 2 years of full parts and labor coverage, which is rare at this level.

Features

Six Cooking Systems, One 56-Inch Grill

Most grills are built around one standout feature. The ALXE-56SZ is engineered as a complete system, so you can sear at 1,500°F, grill, roast, smoke, simmer on the side burner and cook after dark on one appliance without buying add-ons.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in gas grill ceramic briquettes over Accufire burners

01 · Heat system

Two Accufire U-Burners Under a Bed of Ceramic

Two 27,500 BTU Accufire U-burners, made from an 18-SR stainless steel and titanium blend, fire into trays of pyramid-shaped refractive ceramic briquettes. The briquettes absorb the flame and radiate it back evenly across the round-grate side, eliminating hot and cold spots. Drippings land on hot ceramic and vaporize into flavor instead of flaring up.

What it means for you: A steady, forgiving zone right next to the Sear Zone, ideal for finishing thick cuts, burgers, chicken and vegetables.

02 · Sear Zone

Sear Zone Infrared Burner: 1,500°F in About 4 Minutes

A 27,500 BTU infrared Sear Zone burner climbs to 1,500°F in about four minutes, far hotter than briquette heat, and V-shaped searing grates sit over it to caramelize the surface and cut down on flare-ups. Sear over the infrared, then slide the steak to the briquette side to finish exactly where you want it.

What it means for you: A true steakhouse crust on ribeyes, chops and tuna at home, and a built-in two-zone fire. The Sear Zone is factory-installed and cannot be added later.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill built-in double side burner with two brass burners

03 · Side burner

Built-In Double Side Burner: 40,000 BTU

Right beside the grill sit two 20,000 BTU brass burners, 40,000 BTU in all, built into the same stainless body. Boil water for corn or pasta, simmer a barbecue sauce, sauté onions and peppers or keep beans warm while the main course cooks on the grates. Brass burners stand up to high heat and outdoor weather for years of use.

What it means for you: Side dishes, boiling water and sauces without running back to the kitchen, so the whole meal comes off one station.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill Mega-Drive rotisserie motor

04 · Rotisserie

Mega-Drive Rotisserie and Ceramic Infrared Rear Burner

The chain-driven Mega-Drive motor is hidden inside the grill body, out of the weather, and turns the spit with 120 ft-lb of torque. It is rated for up to 50 lb: a prime rib, the holiday turkey or several chickens at once. Behind the spit, a flush-mounted 18,500 BTU ceramic infrared burner roasts from the back of the firebox for the crisp, golden crust ALXE owners love.

What it means for you: No clamp-on motor, no dangling cord and no more store-bought rotisserie chicken. It runs whisper-quiet while you entertain.
Up to 50 lb120 ft-lb torque18,500 BTU infrared
Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill Signature Taste smoker drawer

05 · Smoker

Signature Taste Smoking System

A stainless smoker drawer sits right below the controls with its own 5,000 BTU burner, so smoke output is controlled separately from the grill. Load wood chunks, herbs, pellets or charcoal, slide it shut, and vents carry the smoke up across the cooking surface. There is no hood to lift, no foil packet and no separate smoker taking up room on the patio.

What it means for you: Real wood-smoke flavor on brisket, salmon or a rotisserie bird, with the hands-on ritual of feeding the fire as you cook.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill electro-polished stainless cooking grates

06 · Cooking surface

Round Grates and V-Shaped Searing Grates

Electro-polished 3/8" round stainless rods cover the briquette side so food releases cleanly, while V-shaped searing grates over the Sear Zone channel juices onto the infrared burner, where they vaporize back into the meat. With 770 square inches on the main grate and 266 on the warming rack, you get 1,036 square inches of cooking space.

What it means for you: Room for about 32 burgers at once, with the right grate under every kind of food.

Details You Notice Every Time You Cook

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe grill amber control panel lighting

Night grilling

Amber Knob Lighting and Dual Halogen Work Lights

Amber LEDs light the knobs and two halogen lights flood the grates, so you can cook after sunset without a flashlight. Both run on a standard 110V outlet.

Alfresco grill heat-protected silicone wiring

Built to last

Air-Cooled Panel and 600°F-Rated Wiring

A vented air curtain keeps the knobs cool to the touch at full heat, and the wiring is sleeved in 600°F-rated silicone so firebox heat cannot reach the electronics.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe grill control panel with push-button ignition

Easy to use

Push-Button Ignition and Lift-Assist Hood

110V electronic ignition lights the burners on the first press, and a hidden spiral torsion spring balances the heavy stainless hood so it lifts smoothly with one hand.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe grill adjustable warming rack

Versatile

Three-Position Warming Rack

Three heights for toasting buns, holding sides or resting meat, and it tucks up out of the way when the rotisserie is turning.

Sear at 1,500°F, grill, smoke and roast are just the start. With the hood closed and a few drop-in Alfresco accessories, the ALXE-56SZ bakes, braises, steams, fries and griddles, so one grill covers almost everything you would cook outdoors.

Enjoy free shipping for orders over $99. Orders under $99 pay a flat shipping fee of $10.95. Benefit from complimentary shipping for your entire purchase delivered straight to your home, even for the larger items! *Applies only within the Continental US.


Estimated Delivery Time

Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.


Freight Shipment Specifics

The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.


For Scheduled Delivery

Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.


For Non-Scheduled Deliveries

Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.

Description

Alfresco ALXE Series · 56" Deluxe Built-In · Sear Zone · Made in the USA

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Built-In Deluxe Grill With Sear Zone, Rotisserie And Side Burner

Steakhouse sear, a double side burner and room for a crowd, built into your outdoor kitchen.

This is the grill for the cook who wants the whole meal at one station: steaks on the grates, sides and sauces on the burners. A 1,500°F infrared Sear Zone sits beside two Accufire burners over ceramic briquettes, so you get a hard sear on one side and steady, forgiving heat on the other, and a built-in double side burner with two 20,000 BTU brass burners handles the pots and pans. Every tool a serious cook reaches for is already built in: a chain-driven rotisserie, a dedicated wood smoker, work lights and a control panel that stays cool at full fire. The 770-square-inch main grate holds about 32 burgers at once.

Who it is for

Is the ALXE-56SZ Your Grill?

Every Alfresco is built in the same California plant from the same 304 stainless, so choosing one is about how you cook and the space you have. Here is who the ALXE-56SZ is made for, based on the questions we hear most from Alfresco shoppers.

Built for you

The ALXE-56SZ fits you if…

  • ✓You want a true steakhouse crust: a 1,500°F infrared Sear Zone right beside a gentler briquette zone.
  • ✓You cook in two zones, searing hard on one side and finishing low on the other, plus a crisp rotisserie crust on chicken and roasts.
  • ✓You would rather turn a knob than open an app: no pairing, no updates, no screens.
  • ✓You want the grill and a stovetop in one unit: a 40,000 BTU double side burner for corn, sauces and sides right next to the grates.
  • ✓You want a real built-in rotisserie and smoker, not add-on kits that clutter the patio.
  • ✓You value 2 years of full parts and labor coverage, which is rare at this level.

Features

Six Cooking Systems, One 56-Inch Grill

Most grills are built around one standout feature. The ALXE-56SZ is engineered as a complete system, so you can sear at 1,500°F, grill, roast, smoke, simmer on the side burner and cook after dark on one appliance without buying add-ons.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in gas grill ceramic briquettes over Accufire burners

01 · Heat system

Two Accufire U-Burners Under a Bed of Ceramic

Two 27,500 BTU Accufire U-burners, made from an 18-SR stainless steel and titanium blend, fire into trays of pyramid-shaped refractive ceramic briquettes. The briquettes absorb the flame and radiate it back evenly across the round-grate side, eliminating hot and cold spots. Drippings land on hot ceramic and vaporize into flavor instead of flaring up.

What it means for you: A steady, forgiving zone right next to the Sear Zone, ideal for finishing thick cuts, burgers, chicken and vegetables.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill infrared Sear Zone burner with V-shaped searing grates

02 · Sear Zone

Sear Zone Infrared Burner: 1,500°F in About 4 Minutes

A 27,500 BTU infrared Sear Zone burner climbs to 1,500°F in about four minutes, far hotter than briquette heat, and V-shaped searing grates sit over it to caramelize the surface and cut down on flare-ups. Sear over the infrared, then slide the steak to the briquette side to finish exactly where you want it.

What it means for you: A true steakhouse crust on ribeyes, chops and tuna at home, and a built-in two-zone fire. The Sear Zone is factory-installed and cannot be added later.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill built-in double side burner with two brass burners

03 · Side burner

Built-In Double Side Burner: 40,000 BTU

Right beside the grill sit two 20,000 BTU brass burners, 40,000 BTU in all, built into the same stainless body. Boil water for corn or pasta, simmer a barbecue sauce, sauté onions and peppers or keep beans warm while the main course cooks on the grates. Brass burners stand up to high heat and outdoor weather for years of use.

What it means for you: Side dishes, boiling water and sauces without running back to the kitchen, so the whole meal comes off one station.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill Mega-Drive rotisserie motor

04 · Rotisserie

Mega-Drive Rotisserie and Ceramic Infrared Rear Burner

The chain-driven Mega-Drive motor is hidden inside the grill body, out of the weather, and turns the spit with 120 ft-lb of torque. It is rated for up to 50 lb: a prime rib, the holiday turkey or several chickens at once. Behind the spit, a flush-mounted 18,500 BTU ceramic infrared burner roasts from the back of the firebox for the crisp, golden crust ALXE owners love.

What it means for you: No clamp-on motor, no dangling cord and no more store-bought rotisserie chicken. It runs whisper-quiet while you entertain.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill Signature Taste smoker drawer

05 · Smoker

Signature Taste Smoking System

A stainless smoker drawer sits right below the controls with its own 5,000 BTU burner, so smoke output is controlled separately from the grill. Load wood chunks, herbs, pellets or charcoal, slide it shut, and vents carry the smoke up across the cooking surface. There is no hood to lift, no foil packet and no separate smoker taking up room on the patio.

What it means for you: Real wood-smoke flavor on brisket, salmon or a rotisserie bird, with the hands-on ritual of feeding the fire as you cook.
5,000 BTU independent burnerFront-loading drawer
Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe built-in grill electro-polished stainless cooking grates

06 · Cooking surface

Round Grates and V-Shaped Searing Grates

Electro-polished 3/8" round stainless rods cover the briquette side so food releases cleanly, while V-shaped searing grates over the Sear Zone channel juices onto the infrared burner, where they vaporize back into the meat. With 770 square inches on the main grate and 266 on the warming rack, you get 1,036 square inches of cooking space.

What it means for you: Room for about 32 burgers at once, with the right grate under every kind of food.

Details You Notice Every Time You Cook

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe grill amber control panel lighting

Night grilling

Amber Knob Lighting and Dual Halogen Work Lights

Amber LEDs light the knobs and two halogen lights flood the grates, so you can cook after sunset without a flashlight. Both run on a standard 110V outlet.

Alfresco grill heat-protected silicone wiring

Built to last

Air-Cooled Panel and 600°F-Rated Wiring

A vented air curtain keeps the knobs cool to the touch at full heat, and the wiring is sleeved in 600°F-rated silicone so firebox heat cannot reach the electronics.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe grill control panel with push-button ignition

Easy to use

Push-Button Ignition and Lift-Assist Hood

110V electronic ignition lights the burners on the first press, and a hidden spiral torsion spring balances the heavy stainless hood so it lifts smoothly with one hand.

Alfresco ALXE 56-Inch Deluxe grill adjustable warming rack

Versatile

Three-Position Warming Rack

Three heights for toasting buns, holding sides or resting meat, and it tucks up out of the way when the rotisserie is turning.

Shipping & Delivery Details

This Shipping Policy applies to orders shipped within the United States (excluding Hawaii & Alaska). By placing an order with us, you accept the policies contained herein.

Enjoy free shipping for orders over $99. Orders under $99 pay a flat shipping fee of $10.95. Benefit from complimentary shipping for your entire purchase delivered straight to your home, even for the larger items! *Applies only within the Continental US.


Estimated Delivery Time

Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.


Freight Shipment Specifics

The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.


For Scheduled Delivery

Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.


For Non-Scheduled Deliveries

Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.

Dispatch Timeframe

Items are typically dispatched from our warehouse within 1-3 business days. Affordable $10.95 Flat-Rate Shipping Orders below $99+ benefit from a consistent shipping rate. As your purchase value goes up, your shipping charge remains unchanged!
