American Made Grills hybrid grills include the Muscle and Encore in 36 and 54 inches, built in or on a rolling cart. These heavy stainless steel grills are built in the USA by a family owned company on Long Island, New York. The maker shares its roots with Summerset, whose grills have their own page here. For outdoor cooking, you can use gas or build a charcoal or wood fire. Choose the look you prefer, then the cooking space and setup that fit your outdoor kitchen.


How an American Made Grills hybrid burns gas, charcoal or wood

Stainless steel trays beneath the grates in the maker's hybrid series hold lump charcoal or hardwood chunks, which the gas burners underneath light. Leave the trays empty when you want to use it as a gas grill. Gas and live fire can cook side by side, while hood vents control airflow to the fire. A fuel kit of wood and charcoal and leather gloves come with each grill. Browse our hybrid grills to compare brands.

What comes with every hybrid

The 36 inch has five stainless steel burners and about eleven hundred square inches of cooking space, while the 54 inch has eight and about seventeen hundred. Reversible V-shaped grates come with lifting tools. The infrared rotisserie back burner runs the rotisserie kit that comes in the box.

The box also holds a drop-in infrared sear burner, a griddle plate, a care kit and a vinyl cover for the grill head. Choose a built-in grill for an island cutout or a freestanding grill with an assembled cart on locking wheels, a charcoal drawer and a cart cover. The double walled hood has interior and knob lights, so plan for an outlet.

The Muscle and the Encore

The Muscle hybrid grill has a Mustang-styled hood. The Encore hybrid grill has a traditional shape, with the same internals and box contents. Both lines come in 36 and 54 inches, including the Muscle 36 and Muscle 54. The Muscle is the grill many people know as the American Muscle Grill. You can also choose matching AMG side and power burners.

Hybrids beside the gas lines

Estate gas grills and the Alturi line run on gas only. Both come in 30, 36 and 42 inches. Choose a hybrid if you also want charcoal or wood cooking.

Your hybrid grill questions

What is the multi-fuel tray system and how does it work?

Stainless steel trays sit under the grates. Leave them empty for gas cooking, or fill them with lump charcoal or wood chunks and light the fuel with the burners below. Hood vents admit air or choke the fire down, and the box includes starter fuel, gloves and grate lifting tools.

What fuels can an American Made Grills hybrid run on?

Choose natural gas or propane on the product page, and the grill comes built for that gas. You can also burn real charcoal and wood in the trays, with or without gas. Run one side on gas and the other over coals at once.

Muscle or Encore: which hybrid should I choose?

Both lines share burners, trays, grates, an infrared back burner and box contents in 36 and 54 inches. The Muscle has a Mustang-styled hood, while the Encore looks more traditional. Choose your American Made Grills hybrid by the look you want beside your island.
