5 Burner Cart Grills

What size is a 5 burner cart grill?

5 burner cart grills run 36 to 42 inches wide. The 36-inch models include the Coyote SL-Series with 875 square inches of grate and the American Made Grills Muscle and Encore hybrids, while the 40-inch group covers TrueFlame, Summerset and RCS, and the Bonfire Whistler 500 Prime tops the size range at 42 inches.

Why choose a 5 burner cart grill over a 3 or 4 burner?

Five burners give you the width to run several heat zones at once: sear on one end, cook indirect in the middle, hold food warm on the other end. That matters when you are feeding a crowd in one pass. Step down to 4 burner cart grills if you rarely cook for more than six.

Do I need an outdoor kitchen island for a 5 burner cart grill?

No. Every grill here is a freestanding cart. It rolls into place on the patio and connects to a propane tank or an existing gas line, with no island construction, cutout or insulating liner involved. That is the main reason to choose a 5 burner cart over a built-in of the same width.

How many BTUs do 5 burner cart grills put out?

Output runs from 70,000 to 110,000 BTUs. The Summerset Sizzler Pro 40 is rated 70,000, the RCS Premier 40 at 72,000, the Coyote SL-Series 36 at 75,000, the TrueFlame 40 at 80,000, the Bonfire Whistler 500 at 87,000, and the American Made Grills Muscle and Encore hybrids at 110,000.

Can a 5 burner cart grill burn charcoal or wood?

Two can. The American Made Grills Muscle 36 and Encore 36 are hybrid carts that cook on gas, charcoal and wood, both rated 110,000 BTUs across five burners. Every other 5 burner cart grill in this collection is gas only. Compare the rest in cart grills.

Can I run a 5 burner cart grill on natural gas or propane?
