In 1999, Dale Sieden left Lynx Grills (the company he started five years earlier) to establish Alfresco Grills. His objective was to develop a product line encompassing every conceivable item for the outdoor kitchen, with Alfresco becoming the most recognized brand in the market. One tall order.
Alfresco ALXE 36-Inch – Rotisserie System
This 36-inch gas grill is actually the midsized unit of the Alfresco line and is part of a complete line of outdoor kitchen products. The attention to detail is extraordinary in this unit. Take, for instance, the rotisserie system. This grill has an 18,500 BTU rear-mounted rotisserie burner, flush mounted so that it doesn’t interfere with the grilling space. The rotisserie motor is mounted below the grill, and an internal chain turns the rod. The rod fits entirely inside the grill, so there are no rotisserie gaps in the double wall hood.
Like most high-quality grills, the price for the Alfresco ALXE 36-Inch can be quite high, starting at around $7,000 for the basic built-in model. The cost can increase rapidly with additional extra features.
