Estate or Encore: which American Made Grills built-in grill should I choose?

Choose the Estate if gas will be your main cooking fuel and you want a premium gas grill, and the Encore if you expect to cook with charcoal or hardwood alongside gas.

Can an American Made Grills built-in grill be installed in an outdoor kitchen island?

American Made Grills offers built-in configurations designed for installation into an outdoor kitchen island. Before installation, verify the manufacturer's current cutout width, depth and height, combustible clearances, ventilation requirements, gas connection requirements and insulating-jacket requirements. Do not build the opening from the advertised grill width; a grill sold as a 36-inch model has its own cutout dimensions your contractor should follow.

Do I need an insulating jacket for an American Made Grill?

An insulating jacket may be required when an American Made Grills built-in grill is installed into an outdoor kitchen built from combustible materials such as wood framing. American Made Grills makes model-specific liners, including ones for the 36-inch Estate and the 36-inch Atlas. Design the island around the required clearances and the approved liner rather than modifying it after the grill arrives. See grill liners.

Can an American Made Grills built-in grill be converted to another fuel after installation?

Do not assume an American Made Grills built-in grill can be converted after installation. Confirm the exact fuel configuration of the model you are buying before ordering, since natural gas and propane versions are ordered separately. Natural gas suits a permanent outdoor kitchen with an existing gas connection, and propane gives flexibility where no line is available.

Are American Made Grills good for coastal outdoor kitchens?

American Made Grills are strong candidates for coastal outdoor kitchens because many models make extensive use of 304 stainless steel. Even high-quality stainless is not maintenance-free: clean salt, humidity, grease, chlorine and environmental contaminants off the grill regularly, and keep the grill covered with a model-specific cover when it is not in use.

Which American Made Grill is best for serious grilling enthusiasts?

The hybrid models, such as the Encore 54, Ovation 54 and Muscle 54, are the pick for a serious enthusiast because they cook with gas, charcoal and hardwood in one head. Gas gives fast ignition and convenient temperature control, while charcoal and hardwood add flavor and live-fire technique. If you mainly want very capable gas grilling instead, the Estate series fits better.

Which American Made Grill is best for everyday gas grilling?

The Estate and Atlas series are the choices for dedicated gas grilling from American Made Grills. Estate sits toward the luxury end of the lineup, and Atlas is the other premium gas option, also built in 304 stainless steel. American Made Grills offers an Estate Freedom variation as well, for buyers who want a different burner and control layout.

Should I choose a 30-inch, 36-inch or 42-inch American Made Grill?

A 30-inch built-in grill suits smaller outdoor kitchens, couples and families who cook smaller meals, a 36-inch adds cooking space without dominating the island, and a 42-inch suits larger families and frequent entertainers who cook several foods at once. Leave room for prep surfaces, side burners, refrigeration, storage drawers and landing areas rather than buying the largest grill that fits.
