American Made Grills Atlas & Estate Built-In Grills Buying Guide: Finding Your Perfect Built-In Grill
American Made Grills builds its Atlas and Estate built-in grills entirely in the USA from #304 stainless steel, and both lines share the same core engineering: an 18-gauge double-lined hood, a full-width stainless steel hood handle, a ceramic briquette heat system that tames flare-ups, interior halogen lighting paired with LED-illuminated control knobs, and a removable dishwasher-safe drip tray. Every grill head in both lines is available in your choice of propane or natural gas at the same price. The real decision isn't build quality, it's how much burner output, cooking capacity, and included equipment you want in your 36 inch built-in grill head, since Atlas and Estate sit at two distinct performance tiers.
Choosing a Model
American Made Grills' 36 inch built-in lineup comes down to two grill heads built for different levels of outdoor cooking. The Atlas 36" Built-In Grill runs three stainless steel U-tube burners producing 49,500 BTUs across 628 square inches of primary cooking area (853 square inches total with the warming racks), paired with 8mm square stainless cooking grates, dual-position warming racks, and a rotisserie kit offered as an optional upgrade rather than included equipment, a dependable, performance-built choice for everyday grilling, priced at $4,335.00. Step up to the Estate 36" Built-In Grill for three premium 26,000 BTU red brass burners plus a 15,000 BTU infrared rear rotisserie burner, bringing total output to roughly 93,000 BTUs across about 883 square inches of cooking capacity, backed by heavier 9mm stainless cooking grates, heat zone separators, and an included rotisserie kit with spit storage, the flagship choice for homeowners who want maximum burner power and rotisserie cooking built in, priced at $8,335.00.
Propane or Natural Gas?
Every model in both lines, the Atlas 36" Built-In Grill and the Estate 36" Built-In Grill, is available in propane or natural gas, and pricing is identical either way: $4,335.00 for the Atlas and $8,335.00 for the Estate regardless of fuel type. Propane runs on refillable tanks, the simpler install if you don't already have a gas line to your outdoor kitchen. Natural gas connects directly into your home's existing gas line, so you never swap a tank, but it requires a professional gas hookup at installation.
