American Made Grills Encore 54-Inch Freestanding Hybrid Grill – ENCFS54
More cooking space, more firepower, more fuel freedom. Hand-built in California from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel, the Encore 54 rolls 176,000 BTU under a massive 1,687 sq in grate and mounts that muscle on a pro-grade cart loaded with soft-close drawers, a cutting-board shelf, towel bar, and lockable casters. Thanks to AMG’s patented Multi-Fuel Tray System, you can burn gas and charcoal, hardwood chunks, or manual-feed pellets—simultaneously—creating layers of smoke, flame, and steakhouse sear unmatched by any single-fuel grill. Every unit ships with a $1,500 accessory bundle and carries a lifetime housing & grate warranty, making the Encore 54 the definitive centerpiece for large-scale backyard entertainment.

📝 DETAILED FEATURES
Hybrid Flavor Freedom
Slide trays above any burner—keep two on steady gas for veggies, bank mesquite under ribs, and sear tomahawks over roaring lump charcoal, all in a single cook. Reload solid fuel mid-session without pulling grates or burning knuckles.
Cart Built for Pit-Boss Duty
Soft-close steel drawers glide on commercial runners; the XL bin swallows two 20-lb bags of lump or weeks of oak splits. The flip-up side shelf locks solid and hides a removable bamboo board for slicing brisket or prepping ceviche right at the grill.
Precision Control—Day & Night
Flame-thrower ignition lights each zone instantly; flash-tube cross-overs give manual backup. Blue LEDs verify burner status, while twin halogen lamps cast daylight onto your food, eliminating guesswork when the party runs past sunset.
Built to Live Outdoors for Decades
Every panel, fastener, and hinge is marine-grade 304 (or 316) stainless steel. Spring-assist lift, powder-coated drawer interiors, and gasketed seams stand up to salt air, torrential rain, and 700 °F sear sessions year after year.
Plug-and-Play Versatility
Swap any main burner for the 26 k BTU infrared cartridge to slam 1,500 °F onto rib-eyes, or drop the stainless griddle for breakfast tacos and teppanyaki. With the accessory bundle included, you’re fully outfitted from day one.
The Encore 54-Inch Freestanding Hybrid is a rolling outdoor kitchen built for chefs who refuse to choose just one fuel—or one flavor. With unmatched BTU output, massive real estate, industrial-grade steel, and every accessory in the box, it turns large-scale gatherings into unforgettable culinary events, all under the banner of American-made excellence. 🔥
