Alfresco Grills 30″ Insulating Jacket — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Alfresco Grills 30″ Insulating Jacket?
The 30″ Insulating Jacket by Alfresco Grills is a specialized cover designed to wrap around your Alfresco outdoor grill’s stainless housing. It helps retain heat, reduce radiant heat to nearby surfaces, and protect the grill’s exterior finishes.
What are its key features and construction?
• Heavy-duty, heat-resistant insulation material capable of withstanding grill temperatures
• Tailored to fit 30″ Alfresco grill bodies snugly without interfering with operation
• Cutouts or panels that allow for flame box access, burner control familiar use
• Durable exterior skin to resist weather, UV, and abrasion
• Helps reduce heat radiated from the sides, making nearby cabinetry or build materials safer
How do I install the insulating jacket?
1. Ensure the grill is fully cooled and turned off.
2. Slide the jacket panels around the grill body, aligning cutouts with burners, control knobs, and access doors.
3. Secure the jacket with its provided fasteners (Velcro, snaps, straps, etc.).
4. Check for proper clearance — the jacket should not interfere with firebox operation or burner access.
5. Confirm all control knobs, burners, and other functional openings remain usable.
How should I maintain and care for it?
• Periodically inspect for signs of wear, fraying, or heat damage, especially near burner openings.
• Clean the outer surface with a mild soap and water solution — avoid harsh solvents.
• Let it dry completely before reinstalling to avoid trapping moisture.
• Remove the jacket before doing major maintenance or service on internal grill parts.
• Store in a dry place when not needed (e.g. during off season) to extend material life.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Improves thermal efficiency by retaining heat inside the grill
• Helps protect nearby cabinetry or surfaces from excessive radiant heat
• When well designed, preserves access to controls and maintenance ports
Limitations / cautions:
• If installed incorrectly, it could restrict ventilation or airflow
• Over time, insulating fabrics may degrade under constant exposure to high heat
• Might slightly change the external appearance of the grill
• Must ensure that safety clearances specified by Alfresco are still met when using the jacket
