Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the 36 inch cart grill the most popular size?

A 36 inch cart grill balances capacity against patio footprint, giving most models 875 to 980 square inches of grate on a cart you can roll where you want it. That is enough for a family plus guests, and it is the size most brands build their flagship freestanding models around.

How many burners does a 36 inch cart grill have?

36 inch cart grills in this collection run from three to five burners. The American Made Grills Estate and Alturi and both Artisan models use three; the Coyote SL-Series 36 and the American Made Grills Muscle and Encore hybrids use five. Total output ranges from 49,500 BTUs up to 110,000.

Which brands make 36 inch cart grills?

American Made Grills, Coyote and Artisan build the 36 inch freestanding cart grills here. American Made Grills covers the Estate, Estate Freedom, Alturi, Atlas, Muscle and Encore lines, Coyote offers SL-Series, CL-Series and a Next-Gen pellet model, and Artisan offers the Professional and American Eagle.

Can a 36 inch cart grill burn charcoal or wood?

Yes. The American Made Grills Muscle 36 and Encore 36 are hybrids that run gas, charcoal and wood in the same firebox, and the Coyote Next-Gen C2P36-FS is a freestanding pellet grill with a 180 to 700 degree range. Every other 36 inch cart grill in this collection is gas only.

How many people can a 36 inch grill cook for?

A 36 inch grill handles everyday family meals and small to medium gatherings with room for several items at once, since most models give you 875 to 980 square inches of grate. If you regularly host large crowds, look at 42 inch cart grills instead.

What is the difference between a 36 inch cart grill and a built-in?

A 36 inch cart grill is a complete freestanding unit on a rolling cart with storage underneath, so it needs no island and can be repositioned. A built-in grill drops permanently into a masonry or cabinet island. American Made Grills and Coyote sell the same 36 inch heads both ways, cart included or not.

Do 36 inch cart grills run on natural gas or propane?

36 inch cart grills come in natural gas and propane, and most convert between the two with the appropriate kit; the Coyote CL-Series C3CL36LP-FS, for instance, is sold as a propane model. Pellet and hybrid models are the exception, burning hardwood pellets or charcoal and wood alongside gas.

How much should I budget for a 36 inch cart grill?

The stated range for 36 inch cart grills is $2,000 to $5,000, which covers most of the collection. Coyote's CL-Series and Artisan's American Eagle sit near the entry point, while the American Made Grills Estate, Muscle and Encore models run well above it. Sort by price across all cart grills to see the spread.

How to Choose

The 36-inch, 3-burner cart grill is the most popular size in outdoor cooking, and for good reason: it offers ample cooking space for most families and gatherings while still fitting comfortably on a typical patio. When comparing 36-inch models, start with the burner setup. All carry three main burners, but the best add an infrared sear burner for high-heat searing and a rear rotisserie burner for roasting, giving you true multi-zone cooking. Look closely at construction quality - premium 36-inch grills use heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel, welded seams, and thick commercial-grade grates that hold up for years outdoors. Check BTU output relative to the cooking area so heat stays strong and even. Consider the included features that matter to you, such as interior lighting, a warming rack, side shelves, and enclosed storage in the cart. Finally, pick your fuel: most 36-inch carts run on natural gas or propane and convert between the two with a kit. This size hits the sweet spot of capacity, versatility, and value for the majority of grillers.

Expert Advice

The 36-inch, 3-burner size is the most popular grill format for good reason - it offers enough cooking space for most families and gatherings without dominating your patio. For the best versatility, look for a model that adds an infrared sear burner or a rear rotisserie burner alongside the three main burners.
