The American Made Grills Muscle 54" Hybrid Freestanding Cart Grill (MUS54 + CART-AMG54) puts the flagship of the Muscle Series on a rolling stainless steel base instead of a masonry island. It is the same commercial-grade, dual-fuel grill head that anchors custom outdoor kitchens — gas, charcoal, or wood on the same cooking surface — with no cutout to frame and no concrete to pour. Designed and built in the USA. See the full American Made Grills lineup or browse all freestanding cart grills.
At the heart of the Muscle 54 is American Made Grills' patented hybrid fuel tray system. Fill the 12-gauge trays with charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, wood chunks, or pellets and use the gas burners underneath to light them — or run the grill on straight gas and let the ceramic briquettes distribute radiant heat. You can mix and match zone by zone, searing over hardwood on one side while holding sides over gas on the other.
Constructed from #304 stainless steel throughout, the MUS54 features eight 22,000 BTU main burners delivering 176,000 BTUs across the cooking surface, plus an included 22,000 BTU infrared drop-in sear burner for steakhouse-grade searing. Heavy-duty 9-gauge reversible V-shaped cooking grates hold heat and lay down defined grill marks, while a double-lined, spring-assisted hood with adjustable vents gives you control over smoke and convection when running solid fuel.
With over 1,600 square inches of total cooking area, the Muscle 54 handles a full brisket, a rack of ribs, and burgers for a crowd at the same time. An included rotisserie kit with spit storage, interior halogen lighting, blue LED-illuminated control knobs, dual-spark brass flame thrower ignition, and heat zone separators round out a grill backed by American Made Grills' Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty.
The CART-AMG54 cart is built in the same commercial grade #304 stainless steel as the grill head and arrives fully assembled. Because this is a hybrid grill, the cart carries something the gas-only carts do not need: a large storage drawer divided by stainless steel fuel partitions, sized to keep charcoal and hardwood dry and separated by type. Above it sit two accessory drawers on soft-close hardware, a folding side shelf and cutting board, a cart handle with towel holder, and a dedicated propane tank pullout drawer.
Ventilation runs through the sides, rear, and base — not a comfort feature, but a safety one, since a sealed cabinet under a running grill traps heat and, on propane installations, fuel vapor. Locking and non-locking caster wheels let you position the grill and hold it there. Treat a 54-inch hybrid on a cart as semi-permanent rather than portable: it rolls, but it is a substantial piece of stainless furniture, so measure gate and path widths before delivery.
Available in Propane (MUS54-LP) or Natural Gas (MUS54-NG). Building a permanent island instead? The Muscle 54" Hybrid Built-In Grill is the same grill head without the cart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Eight main burners at 22,000 BTU each, for 176,000 BTUs. An included 22,000 BTU infrared drop-in sear burner adds a separate high-heat station on top of that.
1,687 square inches. That is enough to hold a full brisket, a rack of ribs and burgers for a crowd at the same time.
Charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, wood chunks or pellets, loaded into the 12-gauge hybrid fuel trays and lit by the gas burners underneath. You can also run straight gas and let the ceramic briquettes handle radiant heat.
Because the trays work zone by zone, searing over hardwood at one end while sides hold over gas at the other is a normal way to use it.
54.75"W x 33.25"D x 33"H. The footprint on the CART-AMG54 cart is larger than that, so confirm the freestanding dimensions against your space before you plan the layout.
Treat it as semi-permanent. Locking and non-locking casters let you position and hold it, but this is a substantial piece of stainless furniture — measure gate and path widths before it arrives.
With a large drawer divided by stainless steel fuel partitions, sized to keep charcoal and hardwood dry and separated by type. Above it are two soft-close accessory drawers and a dedicated propane tank pullout.
A folding side shelf and cutting board, plus a cart handle with a towel holder — the surfaces a built-in normally borrows from the island.
Side, rear and bottom ventilation keeps heat, and on propane any fuel vapor, from collecting in a sealed cabinet under a running grill. It is a safety design rather than a comfort one.
9-gauge reversible V-shaped grates that hold heat and lay down defined marks, under a double-lined spring-assisted hood with adjustable smoke vents for controlling convection when solid fuel is burning.
MUS54-LP for propane, MUS54-NG for natural gas. Check which supply reaches the spot where the grill will live before choosing.
Yes, a rotisserie kit with built-in spit storage comes with the grill, alongside heat zone separators, interior halogen lighting, blue LED illuminated knobs and dual-spark solid brass flame thrower ignition.
The Muscle 54 hybrid built-in is the same grill head without the cart. To cover this one outdoors, the Encore and Muscle 54 freestanding deluxe cover is cut for the grill and cart together.
I absolutely love my Coyote gas grill! The quality is excellent, it looks beautiful, and I’m very happy with my purchase.
I also want to give a special thank you to Ryan at Northwoods Grills. He was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. Before my grill even arrived, he took the time to help me with measurements and answered all of my questions to make sure everything would fit properly. He was always very attentive, patient, friendly, and easy to communicate with. His customer service really made a difference and made the whole experience so much easier for me.
It’s not often that you receive this level of personal attention and customer service. I truly appreciate all of Ryan’s help and would absolutely recommend Northwoods Grills. Great product and outstanding customer service!
Best pricing available for the product (checked all other on line retailers), and Ryan provided excellent responsiveness during the sales process. Loved dealing directly with the owner vs a sales person.
Delivery was completed within a week of the order and Ryan stayed in touch with consistent follow-up to ensure the products met my expectations.
Will recommend to friends / others looking for a high-end built in grill and matching cabinets.
Great experience with Northwood Grills! I purchased a hood from them and it was delivered quickly and exactly as expected. Ryan was great to work with—helpful, responsive, and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend!
Good sink. Came with all parts as described.
Excellent service and fast shipping!
Don’t know how i ever cooked without this before. Love the char this locks in the meat every time. May add a second one to the other end of the grill.
Great quality.
I was caught in a bind with a DIFFERENT provider, and Ryan was able to get me exactly what I needed, he reached out to the manufacturer for me to confirm specs and had my shipment mailed out same day. If you’re in the market for any outdoor kitchen needs, look no further than Northwoods!
Great service, grill came within a week.
Wouldn’t order from anyone else!
