American Made Grills  

AMG is the only manufacturer that combines true multi-fuel technology with 100 percent U.S. fabrication. Hybrid Encore and Muscle models let you burn gas and solid fuels—lump charcoal, briquettes, wood chunks, or manual-feed pellets—simultaneously. Estate models use red-brass gas burners for rock-solid performance. Every grill is laser-cut, hand-welded, and bench-tested in Huntington Beach, CA, from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel that carries a lifetime housing and grate warranty.

AMG’s patented Multi-Fuel Tray System sits directly above each stainless gas burner. Fill a tray with lump charcoal, briquettes, wood chunks, or even hardwood pellets, ignite the gas for a quick light-off, then dial the burner down or off once the solid fuel is glowing. You can leave other burners on pure propane or natural gas for steady heat, giving you true dual-fuel grilling and multiple temperature zones in one cook—perfect for reverse-searing steaks or adding real wood-smoke flavor to ribs without a separate smoker.

Each gas burner sits beneath a removable stainless tray. Fill the tray with charcoal or hardwood, slide it back, ignite the gas below for a quick light, then dial burners down or off once the solid fuel is glowing. You can run trays over some burners and leave others on straight gas, giving you multiple flavor and heat zones in the same cook without lifting grates or using aftermarket baskets.

Yes. Every sheet of 304 stainless—16-gauge double-lined hood, 14-gauge burner tubes, 12-gauge flame tamers, and heavy 9-gauge V-shaped cooking grates—is laser-cut, formed, welded, and polished in California. U.S. fabrication means tighter quality control, shorter parts lead-times, and a lifetime warranty on the housing and grates.

Yes. All gas components are CSA-certified to ANSI Z21.58 / CGA 1.6 in the U.S. and Canada. Solid-fuel trays are recognized as accessory inserts and do not void the certification.

Yes. Set one end burner on low gas; load a tray over that burner with a few wood chunks or unlit lump. The diffused heat maintains 225–275 °F while the smoldering wood produces clean smoke. Because hybrid models have heat-zone separators and a spring-assist, double-lined hood, they hold steady temperatures for hours—ideal for brisket, ribs, or turkey.

A standard 20-lb vertical cylinder (the kind exchanged at grocery stores) drops into the soft-close tank drawer with the regulator already attached—no need to lift it over the burner area.

AMG uses 16-gauge double-lined hoods for better insulation, 14-gauge burner tubes for longevity, 12-gauge flame tamers to resist warping, and 9-gauge reversible V-grates to store mass and sear marks. Thicker steel retains heat, resists corrosion, and prevents denting in high-traffic commercial or coastal environments.

Red-brass conducts heat more evenly and resists corrosive agents like salt spray better than regular stainless. Estate grills use 26 k BTU red-brass tubes for long life, steady flame, and quick recovery after lid-open events, while still carrying the same lifetime housing warranty as hybrid lines.

Every Estate, Encore, and Muscle grill ships with a 26,000 BTU ceramic infrared cartridge that replaces any main burner in seconds. The burner reaches roughly 1,500 °F at the grate, branding steakhouse-level crust in under a minute per side.

All AMG grills feature blue LED halo illumination around each control knob—so you can verify flame settings from across the patio—and dual halogen hood lamps that flood the entire cooking surface. The Power/Side Burners also carry halo lighting so burners match your main grill after dark.

Yes. Carts roll off the truck fully assembled with soft-close drawers, LP-tank or charcoal storage drawers, folding shelves with removable cutting boards, towel bars, tool hooks, and 360° casters (two locking, two swivel). No extra frame construction is required—just roll into place, connect gas, and grill.

Each grill bundle—worth $1,000 to $1,500—includes: motorized rotisserie kit with spit storage, heavy-duty PVC cover, grate-lifting tool, stainless breakfast griddle, infrared sear cartridge, leather heat gloves, wood/charcoal starter fuel kit, and a stainless care kit. Optional add-ons include built-in Power Burners, Double Side Burners, refrigeration, and AMG stainless vent hoods.

Hybrid Encore and Muscle units ship either NG or LP but include the necessary orifices and regulator components for field conversion; Estate gas-only grills convert using an optional kit. Always follow the factory conversion guide or hire a licensed gas professional.

Estate briquettes are self-cleaning—run the burners on high for 15 minutes to incinerate drippings, then brush off ash. Stainless tamers on Encore/Muscle should be brushed with a stainless grill brush and flipped periodically; the thick 12-gauge steel resists pitting and can be soaked in mild degreaser if needed.

Lifetime on stainless housing, cooking grates, and fabricated components; 15 years on red-brass or 304 SS burners and Power Burner assemblies; 3 years on flame tamers and briquettes; 1 year on ignition systems, LEDs, and electronics. AMG also offers U.S.-based tech support and keeps parts in stock at its California facility.

AMG cut-out specs already include air gaps for cooling, but island cavities should be vented (18 in² high and low) to meet NFPA gas-appliance codes. Allow 6 in behind the hood when fully open and ensure overhead structures are at least 36 in above the tallest point of the grill or vent‐hood capture area.
