The American Made Grills Muscle 36" Hybrid Freestanding Cart Grill (MUS36 + CART-AMG36) pairs the Muscle 36" hybrid grill head with its matching #304 stainless steel rolling cart — a true multi-fuel grill that needs no island, no masonry and no cutout. It runs on gas, on charcoal or hardwood, or on both at once, giving you live-fire flavor without giving up the convenience of turning a knob. Built entirely in the USA, the Muscle face brings bold American muscle-car styling, right down to the aggressive front fascia. See how it lines up against the rest of our freestanding cart grills.
Power comes from 5 main burners rated at 22,000 BTU each, for 110,000 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.
The cart is what makes this the freestanding build, and it is not a lightweight stand. The all-#304 stainless cabinet rolls on heavy-duty locking casters, so you can pull the grill out to cook and roll it back under cover when you're done. Two adjustable side shelves fold out for prep and landing space, then fold down when the patio is tight on room.
Storage is a double drawer and single door combo — four drawers in all — including an insulated solid-fuel storage drawer that keeps charcoal and wood chunks dry and close to the fire, and an integrated condiment tray built into the door. On propane models, a pullout inside the cabinet holds a standard LP tank out of sight; natural gas models plumb straight into the cart. Everything is finished to the same standard as the grill head, so the pair reads as one unit rather than a grill dropped onto a base.
At 36 inches this is the volume size in the Hybrid range, and on the cart it is the one that fits the widest variety of patios and decks. Five burners gives you enough width to run a genuine three-zone setup — solid fuel on one side, gas in the middle, an empty resting zone on the end — without the grill dominating a space that also has to hold a table.
The Muscle face is the loudest in the Hybrid lineup — a sculpted, hot-rod-inspired front panel that reads as the centerpiece of the patio from across the yard. With 1,106 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 Muscle 36" 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — patented 14-gauge fuel trays sit directly above the gas burners, so you light charcoal briquettes, lump or wood chunks with the burners and then cook over live coals, with gas assist or with the gas shut off entirely.
It is one grill doing two jobs, which is why it costs what a gas grill and a charcoal grill would together.
Five main burners rated 22,000 BTU each, 110,000 BTUs in total, formed from 14-gauge #304 stainless and covered by 12-gauge #304 burner covers.
1,106 square inches. Five burners across a 36-inch head is enough width to run solid fuel on one side, gas in the middle and an empty resting zone at the end.
90.63" wide with the side shelves extended, 36.19" deep and 54.63" high on the cart. The grill head on its own is 37"W x 33.25"D x 33"H.
Both side shelves are adjustable and fold down, so that width is the working figure rather than the parked one.
Four drawers in a double drawer and single door combo, including an insulated solid-fuel drawer that keeps charcoal and wood dry beside the fire, plus a condiment tray in the door and an LP tank pullout on propane models.
Yes. A 120V grounded outlet is required for the lights and accessories, so plan an outlet near wherever the cart is parked.
15 inches from combustible material at the sides and rear. It is tested to ANSI Z21.58 / CGA 1.6.
4.0 inches WC on natural gas, 11 inches WC on propane. Confirm what your line supplies before you order the natural gas version.
Reversible 9-gauge V-shaped stainless steel. Flip them between a flat searing face and a V-channel face depending on what is on the grill.
The CART-AMG36 cart with its doors, drawers and locking casters, two adjustable side shelves, a deluxe vinyl grill head cover, a 100 lb rotisserie kit, a stainless griddle plate, a drop-in infrared sear burner, grate lifting tools, a leather glove set, a fuel kit of wood and charcoal, and a cleaning care kit.
Muscle is the loud one — a sculpted, hot-rod-inspired front panel meant to read as the centerpiece of the patio. Encore is the flat, unornamented alternative on the same hybrid platform.
Yes, the Muscle 36 hybrid built-in is the same head for an island. This cart version needs no island, no masonry and no cutout at all.
