American Made Grills Alturi Sear Side Burner

An infrared burner uses ceramic tiles to radiate intense, direct heat, which is significantly hotter than a standard gas flame. This allows you to achieve a professional-grade sear on steaks and chops, locking in juices and creating a crust that is difficult to replicate on a traditional grill burner.

Yes, the Alturi Sear Side Burner is available in both natural gas and propane configurations. You should select the fuel type that matches your existing outdoor kitchen setup at the time of purchase.

The unit is built from 304 stainless steel, which is the industry standard for high-end outdoor kitchen equipment. This material is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it well-suited for permanent installation in most climates.

The lid is designed to be removable, primarily to protect the burner when it is not in use. You should always remove the lid before igniting the burner to ensure proper airflow and safety.

While the LED lighting adds a modern look to your outdoor kitchen, its primary function is visibility. The illumination makes it much easier to adjust your heat settings accurately when grilling in the evening or low-light conditions.

Because the grates are made of 9mm stainless steel, they are durable and easy to maintain. You can clean them by heating the burner to burn off residue and then using a stainless steel-safe grill brush, or by removing them to soak in warm, soapy water.
