The Flagship 42" — Commercial-Grade U-Burners, a 100 lb. Rotisserie System, and Over 1,000 Square Inches of Cooking Real Estate
78,000 BTUs from three commercial-grade U-burners, 1,083 in² of total cooking surface, a 100 lb. rotisserie kit included, and AMG's Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty — built and factory-tested in Long Island, New York.
The American Made Grills Alturi 42" Built-In Gas Grill is the largest footprint in the Alturi lineup — and the one to spec when capacity and fit and finish both matter. Three 26,000 BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners deliver 78,000 BTUs of commercial-grade heat across 777 in² of primary cooking surface, plus 306 in² of warming rack area for 1,083 in² total. A 15,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner surrounds the spit with even radiant heat, and the included 100 lb.-capacity rotisserie kit handles a full turkey, a leg of lamb, or a substantial prime rib roast without question. Ceramic briquette flame tamers, 9mm stainless cooking grates, stainless heat zone separators, LED front panel lighting, interior halogen lamps, and a double-lined spring-assisted hood round out a grill built for serious, sustained entertaining. Built, factory-tested, and serviced in Long Island, New York. The freestanding cart package adds a fully assembled Deluxe 2-Drawer Combo Cart with side shelves — no island required.
Commercial-Grade Components, Top of the AMG Lineup
The Alturi 42" sits above the Estate series in the AMG hierarchy, with heavier-duty burners, a dedicated heat zone separator system, the most cooking surface in the Alturi built-in range, and a distinct front panel lighting design.

78,000 BTU
Three Commercial-Grade U-Burners
Three 26,000 BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners deliver consistent, high-output heat across the full cooking surface — forged for the heat cycling that comes with frequent, sustained use.
1,083 in²
Maximum Cooking Real Estate
777 in² of primary cooking surface plus a 306 in² warming rack gives you 1,083 in² total — enough to run multiple proteins, a full vegetable spread, and a warm-hold zone simultaneously without rotating food off the grate.

Solid Stainless Grates That Hold Heat
9mm thick, heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grates retain surface temperature after loading cold proteins and press bold, defined sear marks across the full cooking surface.
100 lb.
Rotisserie Burner and Kit Included
The 15,000 BTU rear infrared burner surrounds the rotisserie spit with even radiant heat, and the included heavy-duty rotisserie kit holds up to 100 lb. — enough for a full turkey, a leg of lamb, or a substantial prime rib roast.
Ceramic
Even Heat, Independent Zones
Ceramic briquette flame tamers absorb and redistribute heat evenly across the surface, while stainless heat zone separators between burners let you run a high-heat sear zone next to a cooler, indirect zone simultaneously.

Deep Dive — Alturi 42" Features & Design
›
Commercial-Grade U-Burners and Heat Zone Separators
The Alturi 42" sits above the Estate series in the AMG hierarchy, with heavier-duty burners, a dedicated heat zone separator system, the most cooking surface in the Alturi built-in range, and a distinct front panel lighting design. Three 26,000 BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners deliver 78,000 BTUs of commercial-grade heat across the full 777 in² primary cooking surface. Stainless heat zone separators between each burner let you run a high-heat sear zone alongside a cooler, indirect zone — or hold a warm zone for finished proteins while the rest of the grill keeps firing.
Rear Infrared Rotisserie Burner and 100 lb. Kit
The 15,000 BTU rear infrared burner bathes the rotisserie spit in even radiant heat from behind, eliminating the flare-ups and uneven browning that come with direct flame cooking on a spit. The included heavy-duty rotisserie kit is rated for up to 100 lb. — capacity for a full turkey, leg of lamb, or a substantial prime rib roast without question. A built-in spit storage bracket keeps the kit accessible and out of the way when not in use.
Ceramic Briquette Flame Tamers and 9mm Grates
Ceramic briquette trays sit between the burners and cooking surface, absorbing heat from the U-burners and radiating it upward evenly — reducing temperature variance across the grate and generating the smoke vaporization that gives outdoor-grilled food its characteristic flavor. On top of that, 9mm heavy-duty stainless grates retain surface temperature after loading cold proteins and press defined sear marks across the surface.
Flame Thrower Ignition with Backup Flash Tube
The Alturi 42" uses flame thrower ignition with a backup flash tube, giving you a reliable light at each burner without relying on batteries or electricity. If the primary igniter ever fails, the flash tube provides a manual backup so dinner doesn't wait on a part. Front panel LED illumination and interior halogen lighting round out visibility for nighttime cooking and evening entertaining.
Double-Lined Spring-Assisted Hood and 304 SS Throughout
Full 304 stainless steel construction throughout — double-lined spring-assisted hood, full-width handle, seamless welds — engineered to resist corrosion and discoloration through years of outdoor exposure. The double-lined hood retains heat efficiently and balances effortlessly on the spring-assist mechanism, so there's no fighting a heavy lid mid-cook.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
›
The Deck & Den Take — The Alturi 42" is the grill we point buyers to when they've already decided on AMG, want the top of the lineup, and need more room than the 36" can give them. The extra 6 inches matters at this end of the market — you go from 945 in² to over 1,000 in² of total surface, and that's the difference between comfortably handling a large dinner party in one pass and having to batch. The 100 lb. rotisserie kit is the same story as the 36": genuinely useful capacity, not a checkbox feature. The freestanding cart option is the right call if you're still building toward a custom island, or if you just want the flexibility to move the station around your patio. If you're comparing the Alturi 42" to the Estate 42", the short version is this: the Estate ships loaded with cooking accessories out of the box (griddle, sear burner, smoker tray); the Alturi is cleaner in focus and a step up in fit, finish, and heat zone separation. Choose the Alturi 42" when you're building a showpiece outdoor kitchen and size actually matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
What is the total BTU output and how is it distributed?›
The Alturi 42" delivers 93,000 total BTUs: 78,000 BTU from three 26,000 BTU U-shaped main burners, plus 15,000 BTU from the rear infrared rotisserie burner. All four burners operate independently and can run simultaneously.
Is the rotisserie kit included, and how much weight can it hold?›
Yes. A heavy-duty rotisserie kit rated for up to 100 lb. ships included with the Alturi 42", along with a built-in spit storage bracket. That capacity comfortably handles a full turkey, leg of lamb, or a large prime rib roast — more than enough for typical rotisserie cooking.
How much total cooking surface does the Alturi 42" have?›
The Alturi 42" provides 777 in² of primary cooking surface on 9mm stainless grates, plus 306 in² on the warming rack, for 1,083 in² of total cooking area. The primary grate dimensions are 39-13/16 in wide × 19-1/2 in deep.
How does the Alturi 42" compare to the Alturi 36"?›
Both use the same commercial-grade three-burner U-tube platform (78,000 BTU main), the same 15,000 BTU rear infrared burner, the same 100 lb. rotisserie kit, and the same 304 stainless construction. The 42" adds approximately 138 in² more total cooking surface (1,083 in² vs. 945 in²), a wider cooking grid, and greater overall footprint. Choose the 36" if your island or patio constrains the width. Choose the 42" if capacity is the priority.
How does the Alturi 42" compare to the Estate 42"?›
The Alturi sits above the Estate series in the AMG lineup. Both use a similar 42" footprint, but the Alturi adds dedicated stainless steel heat zone separators between each burner, front panel LED lighting, and a refined finish positioned as the flagship of the built-in range. The Estate 42" ships fully loaded with bundled cooking accessories including a griddle, sear burner, and smoker tray; the Alturi 42" is built around premium fit, finish, and rotisserie capacity rather than a bundled accessory package. Choose the Alturi when how the grill looks installed and rotisserie capability both matter.
What are the cooking grates made of?›
The Alturi 42" uses 9mm thick, heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grates. At this thickness, they retain heat aggressively after loading cold proteins and deliver clean, defined sear marks across the cooking surface.
How do the heat zone separators work?›
Stainless steel heat zone separators are placed between each burner to contain heat within its own zone. This lets you run a high, direct-heat zone for searing right next to a cooler, indirect zone for finishing or holding — or set up a true two-zone cooking layout across the grill.
How does the flame thrower ignition with flash tube work?›
Flame thrower ignition lights each burner reliably without batteries or electricity. A backup flash tube is built in as a manual ignition method if the primary igniter ever malfunctions — so a failed part doesn't mean a delayed dinner.
What are the cutout dimensions for the Alturi 42" built-in installation?›
The required cutout dimensions for the Alturi 42" are 40-1/2 in wide × 23-1/16 in deep × 10-3/16 in tall. If your outdoor kitchen uses combustible materials such as wood framing, the Alturi 42" Insulating Grill Liner (GL-ALT42) is required and sold separately.
What fuel types does the Alturi 42" support?›
The Alturi 42" is available in Natural Gas (ALT42T-NG) and Propane (ALT42T-LP). Select your fuel type above before adding to cart. The grill is not field-convertible between fuel types — order the correct model for your outdoor kitchen's gas supply.
What is the difference between the Grill Only and With Cart options?›
The Grill Only option (ALT42T-NG or ALT42T-LP) is the built-in drop-in grill head, intended for installation into a custom outdoor kitchen island. The With Cart option pairs the same grill head with AMG's fully assembled Deluxe 2-Drawer Combo Cart (CART-ALT42), complete with side shelves, making it a self-contained freestanding station that requires no island or cutout. Both include the full rotisserie kit.
Can I install the Alturi 42" in a combustible outdoor kitchen island?›
Only with the correct insulating grill liner. AMG requires the Alturi 42" Grill Liner (model GL-ALT42, sold separately) for installations in outdoor kitchens constructed from combustible materials such as wood framing. Do not install without it in a combustible surround.
What warranty does the Alturi 42" carry?›
The Alturi 42" is covered by American Made Grills' Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty. Structural and mechanical components — stainless steel construction, cooking grates, burners, burner covers, valves, flame tamers, heat zone separators, temperature gauges, hood springs, and briquette systems — are covered for life, 100% non-prorated. Electrical components, including LED bulbs, wire harness and switches, power source wire, transformer, and interior halogen light wire and bulb, are covered for 3 years. Labor is not included. The warranty is honored directly by American Made Grills. Register promptly after purchase to activate coverage.
Is the Alturi 42" made in the USA?›
Yes. The Alturi 42" is built, factory-tested, and serviced at the American Made Grills facility in Long Island, New York.
Does Deck & Den offer free shipping on the Alturi 42"?›
Yes. Deck & Den provides free shipping on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states, and the Alturi 42" qualifies. See the Deck & Den Shipping Policy for full details on delivery method and timing for large freight items.
What is Deck & Den's return policy for the Alturi 42"?›
Deck & Den offers a 45-day return window. See the Returns Policy page for complete terms, conditions, and return freight instructions for large items.
