Description
American Made Grills Encore 36-Inch Freestanding Hybrid Grill – ENCFS36
Experience ultimate flavor freedom on wheels. Hand-built in California from 304 stainless steel, the Encore 36 Freestanding rolls 110,000 BTU of hybrid firepower onto a feature-packed cart—ready to burn gas, charcoal, wood, or pellets in any combination you dream up.
KEY FEATURES
🔥 Hybrid Multi-Fuel Engine – Drop charcoal, wood, or pellets into the stainless Multi-Fuel Tray System while running gas burners underneath for instant ignition and rock-steady heat control.
⚙️ Quad 27,500 BTU Main Burners – Four 304-SS tubes plus 12-gauge flame tamers vaporize drippings for extra flavor and eliminate hot spots across the entire grate.
🛠️ Pre-Assembled Pro Cart – Two soft-close drawers (one XL for fuel), a dedicated LP-tank drawer (LP model) or accessory bin (NG model), folding side shelf with removable cutting board, towel bar, and four 360° casters—two lock, two roam.
💡 Night-Ready Lighting – Blue LED halos around every knob display flame level at a glance, while twin halogen hood lamps drench your food in bright, true-color light long after sunset.
💪 Industrial 304 Stainless – 16-gauge double-lined spring-assist hood, 14-gauge burners, 9-gauge reversible V-grates, fully welded seams, and a cool-touch full-width handle—a pedigree that earns a lifetime housing & grate warranty.
🔄 Rotisserie Spit Storage – Motorized, 50-lb-rated rotisserie kit tucks into an internal slot so the spit never goes missing.
🎁 $1,200+ Accessory Bundle Included – Heavy-duty cover, stainless breakfast griddle, 26 k BTU infrared sear cartridge, grate lifter, leather gloves, wood–charcoal fuel kit & stainless care kit ship in the crate.
🇺🇸 Made, Tested & Serviced in the USA – Every Encore is laser-cut, hand-finished, and bench-run before it leaves AMG’s Southern California factory.
📝 DETAILED FEATURES
Hybrid Flavor Freedom
Load wood chunks under ribs, blaze lump charcoal beneath steaks, and let two burners idle on clean gas to keep seafood gentle—all at one time. The trays pull out cold, so you can reload fuel mid-cook without scalded fingertips.
Cart Built for Pit-Boss Duty
The XL drawer swallows two 20-lb bags of lump or a week’s worth of apple chunks, while the slim top drawer and internal towel bar keep tongs, rubs, and saucers organized. The folding shelf locks rock-solid in place, revealing a removable bamboo cutting board for on-the-spot slicing.
Precision Under Any Sky
Flame-thrower ignition lights each zone independently; flash-tube cross-overs provide a manual backup. Blue halos confirm which burners are live, and the analog hood thermometer—calibrated to read true across a 0-900 °F dial—tells the rest of the story.
Built to Outlast the Patio
All hardware is 304 or 316 stainless, including self-adjusting hood springs, drawer glides, and fasteners. Gasketed seams shed rain; mirror-polished edges fend off corrosion and wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
Plug-and-Play Versatility
Swap a main burner for the 26 k BTU sear zone when only a steakhouse crust will do, or drop the stainless griddle over two burners for sunrise pancakes, smash burgers, or teppanyaki shrimp—all using accessories that arrive day one.
