Grill head and cart are both made entirely in the USA from \u003cstrong\u003e#304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and finished to match, so the pair reads as one piece of outdoor furniture rather than a grill head dropped onto a stand. See how it lines up against the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cart-grills-1\"\u003ecart grills\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from \u003cstrong\u003e8 main burners rated at 22,000 BTU each\u003c\/strong\u003e, for \u003cstrong\u003e176,000 BTUs\u003c\/strong\u003e total. The burners are formed from \u003cstrong\u003e14-gauge #304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and protected by 12-gauge #304 burner covers. \u003cstrong\u003eHeat zone separators\u003c\/strong\u003e hold genuinely distinct temperature zones across the grate, and \u003cstrong\u003ereversible 9-gauge V-shaped cooking grates\u003c\/strong\u003e flip between a flat searing face and classic V-channel grilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epatented 14-gauge hybrid fuel trays\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003e16-gauge double-lined hood with spring assist\u003c\/strong\u003e, full-width #304 handle, and adjustable hood vents give you the airflow control that solid-fuel cooking actually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCART-AMG54 base\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for this grill specifically, and it carries something the gas carts do not need: a \u003cstrong\u003elarge storage drawer divided by stainless steel fuel partitions\u003c\/strong\u003e, sized to keep charcoal and hardwood dry and separated by type. Above it sit two accessory drawers on soft-close hardware and a dedicated pullout for the propane tank. A folding side shelf, cutting board, cart handle and towel holder give you the working surface a built-in normally borrows from the island, and ventilation through the sides, rear and base keeps heat from collecting under a running grill — not a comfort feature, but a real safety consideration on propane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFifty-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. On a cart, treat that scale as semi-permanent: it rolls, and the locking casters hold it firmly once positioned, but a 54-inch hybrid head on a full stainless cart is not something you reposition casually. Measure gate widths and delivery paths before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Encore face is the quiet one in the Hybrid lineup — a flat, uninterrupted front panel and full-width handle with no ornamentation. With \u003cstrong\u003e1,687 square inches of total cooking surface\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 — and on the cart it is ready to cook the day it lands, with no masonry, no gas line trench and no cutout to plan around. The cart arrives \u003cstrong\u003efully assembled\u003c\/strong\u003e. Every unit is built, factory tested and serviced in Long Island, New York, tested to \u003cstrong\u003eANSI Z21.58 \/ CGA 1.6\u003c\/strong\u003e, and backed by the \u003ca
