Heck Yeah!](https://blog.rofgrills.com/alfresco-grill-review-searing-on-normal-burners) Written by [Appliance Dude](https://blog.rofgrills.com/author/appliance-dude) on 04.04.18 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) **Alfresco Grill Review - Yes the Burners Can Sear!** I've fielded numerous questions this year regarding the normal Alfresco burners and their ability to sear. I can understand the line of questions, as I have spent a lot of time discussing the solid fuel insert as well as the Hellfire infrared sear burner. I decided to put the normal burners on the Alfresco to the test by grilling up a thick prime porterhouse I bought from Vincent's of Arthur Ave. The seasoning was simple - kosher salt, olive oil, pepper and ripping hot grates on the Alfresco. I also hit the beef with a bit of cherry smoke from the herb infusion box on the Alfresco. Amazing!
