Artisan Built-In Grill Cutout: Pull the PDF for Your Model
Artisan built-in grills (ART-32/36/42) drop into outdoor-kitchen cutouts — pull the exact cutout PDF from Alfresco's documentation page before the mason cuts anything.

What you need
- Tape measure
- Framing square
- Printed cutout PDF for your specific model
Step by step
Pull the cutout PDF from alfrescogrills.com/customer-care/documentation/
Artisan cutouts are published alongside Alfresco grill cutouts on the Alfresco documentation page. Download for your exact model (ART-42, ART-36, ART-32).
Confirm clearance-to-combustibles
Artisan grills need non-combustible materials (stone, tile, poured concrete) around the grill body. Local code dictates minimum setback — typically 6-12 inches from any wood framing.
Rough the gas line to the correct stub location
The cutout PDF shows where the gas stub-out goes relative to the front face of the grill. Gas tech plumbs to that specific point.
Plan for drip-pan access
Artisan drip pans slide out from the front. Make sure no cabinet door or stone lip blocks the pan from fully withdrawing.
Order BEFORE framing the enclosure
Have the cutout PDF in hand when the mason or carpenter builds the opening. Measuring back from an existing enclosure is error-prone.
Common mistakes
- Using an Alfresco cutout PDF for an Artisan grill. Despite being the same parent company, Artisan and Alfresco model cutouts are NOT interchangeable. Pull the PDF for your exact model.
- Running the gas line at the wrong depth. If the stub is too far back the flex hose won't reach; too forward and the grill won't seat.
- Framing with wood right up to the grill body. Combustible-clearance violations. Follow local code and keep combustibles at least 6-12" from the grill body.
Hands-on tips
- Print the cutout PDF at 100% scale and hand it to the mason — verbal dimensions get mis-transcribed.
- Keep a 1/4" tolerance on the width — cutout should be PDF dimension PLUS 1/4" so the grill seats without binding.
Questions people ask
Can I install an Artisan grill in a wood-framed enclosure?
Not without an insulated grill jacket if your model supports one, AND not without confirming your local building code. Non-combustible enclosure material is the safest default.
