American Made Grills Encore 54" Hybrid Built-In Grill ENC54 - 8 Burners, 176,000 BTUs, Gas, Charcoal and Wood

American Made Grills Encore 54" Hybrid Built-In Grill

The American Made Grills Encore 54" Hybrid Built-In Grill (ENC54) is a true multi-fuel grill: it runs on gas, on charcoal or hardwood, or on both at once. Built entirely in the USA from #304 stainless steel, the Hybrid platform gives you live-fire flavor without giving up the convenience of turning a knob. The Encore face brings clean, restrained styling that lets the outdoor kitchen around it do the talking. See how it lines up against the rest of our American Made Grills built-in grills.

Power comes from 8 main burners rated at 22,000 BTU each, for 176,000 BTUs total. The burners are formed from 14-gauge #304 stainless steel and protected by 12-gauge #304 burner covers. Heat zone separators hold genuinely distinct temperature zones across the grate, and reversible 9-gauge V-shaped cooking grates flip between a flat searing face and classic V-channel grilling.

The patented 14-gauge hybrid fuel trays are the heart of the system. They sit directly above the gas burners, so you use the burners to light charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, or wood chunks — then cook over live coals with gas assist, or shut the gas off entirely. A 16-gauge double-lined hood with spring assist, full-width #304 handle, and adjustable hood vents give you the airflow control that solid-fuel cooking actually needs.

Fifty-four inches is a commercial-scale cooking surface in a residential grill. Eight burners and 1,687 square inches means you can run charcoal across half the grate and still have a full 27-inch gas grill on the other side. Plan the island around it early — a 53-1/4 inch cutout drives the whole layout, and it needs a genuine landing zone on both sides to be usable.

The Encore face is the quiet one in the Hybrid lineup — a flat, uninterrupted front panel and full-width handle with no ornamentation. If your island is already doing something visually interesting in stone or tile, this is the grill that complements it instead of competing with it. With 1,687 square inches of total cooking surface, interior halogen cooking lights, LED-illuminated knobs, flame thrower ignition, a rotisserie back burner with built-in spit storage, and an easy-clean drip pan with drain system, the Encore 54" is built for real entertaining. Every unit is built, factory tested and serviced in Long Island, New York, tested to ANSI Z21.58 / CGA 1.6, and backed by the American Made Grills Gold Standard warranty with 100% non-prorated replacement parts.
