American Made Grills Encore 54 Hybrid Grill: gas, charcoal, or wood with room for a crowd
The American Made Grills Encore 54 Hybrid Grill is a 54 inch built in hybrid grill. Built in means it slides into a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, so it has no legs of its own. Hybrid means it is a full gas grill that also burns real charcoal or wood: stainless steel trays under the grates hold the coals or the wood chunks, so you can cook over gas, over a live fire, or both at once. Vents in the hood let you feed air to a charcoal or wood fire or choke it down, the way a charcoal grill does. The Encore suits cooks who want those choices in a plainer, more traditional shape. American Made Grills builds it in the USA from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors. Eight stainless steel burners give 176,000 BTUs over about 1,700 square inches of cooking space.
The grates are thick V shaped stainless steel bars that flip over, and lifting tools come with the grill for moving them hot. The double walled hood holds heat like an oven, and lights inside the hood and over each knob let you cook after dark. An infrared back burner at the rear runs the included rotisserie, so a chicken or a roast turns and bastes itself. Also in the box: an infrared sear burner that drops in where a grate goes, a griddle plate, a starter kit of wood and charcoal, leather gloves, a care kit, and a vinyl cover for the grill head. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and a matching rolling cart, a double side burner, or a power burner can be added. American Made Grills covers the steel body, the burners, and the grates for life, and the electrical parts for three years. Need a smaller grill? See the American Made Grills Encore 36 Hybrid Grill. The American Made Grills Encore 54 Hybrid Grill ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
Behind the 100,000 BTUs of raw cooking power, remarkable design sets the stage for unrivaled performance and style. From its precise #304 Stainless Steel construction to its reversible conical grate design; the AMG has rewritten the standards of forging a masterpiece. Every whole is only as good as its parts, and with the AMG every detail attests to innovation and precision – the final product being the iconic thoroughbred workhorse of its industry.

FAQ
Can you put charcoal in a gas grill?
Not in most gas grills — but this one is engineered for it. The Encore 54’s patented 14-gauge Multi-Fuel Tray System lets you load real charcoal (a wood-and-charcoal Fuel Kit ships in the box) and grill over gas, charcoal, wood, or any combination. Adjustable hood vents give you airflow control over the solid-fuel fire, so charcoal cooking here is a designed-in feature, not a workaround.
What is the Multi-Fuel Tray System?
It’s the patented tray design that makes this grill a true hybrid. Heavy 14-gauge stainless fuel trays sit beneath the cooking grates: leave them empty and grill on the 22,000 BTU gas burners, or fill them with charcoal, wood chunks, or both for live-fire cooking. Combinations are fair game too, so you can run gas heat in one zone and solid fuel in another during the same cook.
How much cooking space do you actually get on this 54-inch hybrid?
The 54-inch head delivers 1,687 square inches of total cooking surface backed by 176,000 total BTUs from its 22,000 BTU main burners — serious capacity for a built-in grill. Interior halogen cooking lights and an LED over each knob keep that whole surface usable after sunset, and heat zone separators let you dedicate different sections to different foods.
What comes included with the Encore 54 hybrid grill?
American Made Grills packs the extras in: a weather-proof vinyl grill head cover, a 100-lb capacity rotisserie kit, a stainless steel griddle plate, a drop-in infrared sear burner, grate lifting tools, a leather glove set, the wood-and-charcoal Fuel Kit, and a cleaning care kit. You’ll see the cover, rotisserie kit, griddle plate, and sear burner listed as no-cost ‘Added Bonus Included’ options right on this page.
What does the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty mean for this grill?
The Encore 54’s features list carries American Made Grills’ Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty — the coverage the brand bills as the best warranty in the industry — and every grill is built, factory tested, and serviced in the USA. My Cozy Outdoors is an authorized dealer, so the full manufacturer warranty is included with your purchase; the complete terms are linked under the Manuals tab.
Can you run gas and charcoal together in the same cook?
Yes — combination cooking is the point of this hybrid. Load a fuel tray with charcoal while gas burners handle other zones, and the heat zone separators keep each section at its own temperature. That means you can work over live coals on one side while food rides gentle gas heat alongside, all under one hood with the adjustable vents managing the airflow.
What are the grate lifting tools used for?
The included lifting tools grip the heavy 9-gauge cooking grates so you can raise or flip them safely. That matters mid-cook on this grill, because the grates are reversible and the fuel trays for charcoal and wood sit beneath them — instead of wrestling hot steel with tongs, you lift a grate out, add fuel or change its orientation, and set it back in place.
What grade of stainless steel is this grill built from?
It’s #304 stainless steel throughout: the construction, the full-width hood handle, the 14-gauge tube burners, and even the burner covers and heat zone separators are all #304. The hood is 16-gauge, double-lined, and spring-assisted, and the whole head is built, factory tested, and serviced in the USA and tested to ANSI Z21.58 / CGA 1.6.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10
G
Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
