Artisan Professional 36" Freestanding Cart Grill ARTP-36C - 3 Burners, 75,000 BTUs, 304 Stainless Steel

The ARTP-36C puts the full Artisan Professional 36" cooking system on a matching 304 stainless steel cart, so you get the whole outdoor kitchen in one rolling piece rather than building an island around a grill head. Three stainless steel tube U-burners deliver 20,000 BTUs each, and a 15,000 BTU ceramic rear infrared burner paired with a heavy-duty rotisserie motor brings total output to 75,000 BTUs. Underneath, the cart adds two side shelves, dual access door storage for a tank or tools, and locking caster wheels. It is made in the USA from 304 stainless steel, uses a 110V electrical ignition, and is ordered as either the natural gas ARTP-36C-NG or the propane ARTP-36C-LP. At 61.3" across the shelves and 275 lbs, it is a substantial freestanding grill that behaves like a permanent installation without requiring one.

Key Features

• Three stainless steel tube U-burners — 20,000 BTUs each, distributing high heat evenly across the 36" cooking surface.
• 15,000 BTU ceramic rear infrared burner — works with the heavy-duty rotisserie motor for smooth turning and consistent heat, bringing the total to 75,000 BTUs.
• 110V electrical ignition — fast and reliable, with electrical wires and connectors encapsulated in heat-resistant silicone.
• Fully adjustable brass valves — precise flame control, with each burner run independently.
• Seamless welded double-walled hood — exceptional heat retention, with a full-length handle and an easy-open spring-assisted system.
• Interior halogen work light — lights the cooking surface in low-light conditions, with a removable lens for easy cleaning.
• Air curtain chimney design — the unique Artisan system that keeps controls cool to the touch even with the lid closed.
• Recessed control panel — protects the chrome knobs and switches from the elements.
• Stainless steel cooking grates — durable and easy to clean, under a dual-position warming rack that lifts up and out of the way for extra workspace.

Model and Installation Information

This is model ARTP-36C, a complete freestanding grill on its own cart. There is no island cutout involved and nothing to frame, cut or build — the grill arrives ready to position. What does need checking is the space it will occupy: 61.3" wide, 26.3" deep and 49" high. That width includes the two side shelves, so measure the full 61.3" span rather than the 36" grill head when planning a patio corner or an alcove.

Two practical points before ordering. First, the ARTP-36C uses a 110V electrical ignition, so unlike some cart grills it must sit within reach of an outlet as well as a gas supply. Second, at 275 lbs it is heavy; the locking caster wheels roll well on a flat, firm surface, but plan on a second person if the grill has to cross a step or a soft lawn. Natural gas and propane are separate factory-built configurations, so order the fuel type matching your supply rather than expecting to convert it later.

One more thing worth knowing when the gas line is run: Artisan publishes a nominal 75,000 BTU rating for this grill, and that is the figure to size the supply from. Alongside it the company publishes a certified total rated input of 71,400 BTU/hr for the appliance, certified to ANSI Z21.58 / CSA 1.6. Both are correct, and the rating and orifice size that govern the individual cart you receive appear on its serial plate, as the care and use manual above sets out.

Who This Model Is Best For

The ARTP-36C is for the cook who wants a Professional-series 36" grill and the counter space and storage of a built-in island, without building one. The two side shelves and the enclosed dual-door base give you somewhere to work and somewhere to keep a propane tank and tools, which is what separates this from a bare grill head on legs. Three burners at 75,000 BTUs total plus the rear infrared rotisserie burner handle everything from weeknight steaks to a spit-roasted bird for a crowd. Because it needs a 110V outlet and weighs 275 lbs, it suits a settled patio position rather than a grill you expect to wheel around the garden — think of it as a movable outdoor kitchen you can still take with you when you move house.
