Artisan Professional 36" Built-In Grill - 3 Burners, 75,000 BTUs, 304 Stainless Steel with Rotisserie

The ARTP-36 is Artisan's 36" Professional built-in head, and the step up from the 32" in the same series: a wider 36" grilling surface with the same three 20,000 BTU U-burners, plus a flush-mounted 15,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner, for 75,000 BTUs of total heat output. It is a grill head only, designed to be set permanently into a masonry or framed outdoor kitchen island as the centerpiece of the run. The body is 304 stainless steel with hand-welded seams, made in the USA, and it carries the features that define the Professional series over Artisan's American Eagle line — the rear infrared burner and 50 lb torque rotisserie, 110V electronic ignition, an interior halogen work light and blue LED-lit control knobs. Order it in natural gas or propane to match the line already run to your island.

Key Features

• Three 20,000 BTU U-burners — 60,000 BTUs across a full 36" wide grilling surface.
• 15,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner — flush-mounted so it does not intrude on the space the spit needs, bringing total output to 75,000 BTUs.
• 50 lb torque rotisserie motor — heavy-duty enough for whole birds and large roasts.
• 110V electronic ignition — lights the burners and powers the lighting; the island needs an outlet roughed in.
• Interior halogen work light and blue LED control panel — both standard on the Professional series, for cooking and reading the knobs after dark.
• 5-way ceramic briquette system — spreads heat in five directions rather than straight up, over a self-cleaning briquette tray that burns off drippings.
• Non-stick electro-polished stainless grates — heavy-duty, and easier to clean without a coating that can flake.
• 2-position adjustable stainless warming rack — drop it low to hold food warm or raise it for the full 36" of grate.
• Spring-assisted hood with built-in thermometer — opens easily and lets you roast lid-down to a reading.
• Air curtain cooling system — keeps the front control panel comfortable while the grill runs.
• 304 stainless steel with hand-welded seams — crafted in the USA.

Model and Installation Information

This is model ARTP-36, supplied as a built-in grill head with no cart or base. The island opening is 34 1/2" wide by 19 3/4" deep by 9 1/2" high. Confirm all three figures against the ARTP-36 spec sheet and install manual linked above before the island is built or modified — an opening cut to the wrong size is difficult and expensive to correct once the masonry is finished. If you are fitting the ARTP-36 into an opening that was originally built for a different grill, measure the existing void rather than assuming it will carry over.

The ARTP-36 uses a 110V electronic ignition, so the island needs a 110V outlet as well as a gas line, and that same supply runs the halogen work light and the LED knob lighting. Plan the electrical rough-in alongside the gas. Natural gas and propane are two separate ordered configurations with different burner orifices — match the grill to the line already run to the island rather than planning a conversion after delivery.

Expect to see two BTU figures for this grill, both published by Artisan. The nominal 75,000 BTU rating is the one to size the gas supply from, and it is the figure that appears on Artisan's specification drawings. The certified total rated input for the appliance is 71,400 BTU/hr, certified to ANSI Z21.58 / CSA 1.6, and the definitive rating and orifice size for any individual grill are printed on its serial plate, exactly as the use and care manual above states.

Who This Model Is Best For

The ARTP-36 fits the outdoor kitchen builder who wants a full 36" of grate but still only three burners to manage — a simpler control layout than the 42", with meaningfully more surface than the 32" for the same burner count, which means each burner covers a wider zone and there is genuine room to run a hot side and a cool side. The 75,000 BTU total and the flush-mounted rear infrared burner make it a real rotisserie grill rather than one with a spit bolted on, so it suits cooks who roast whole birds as often as they sear steaks. Both this and Artisan's American Eagle 36 are made in the USA from 304 stainless and run the same three 20,000 BTU U-burners; choose this Professional model if you will actually use the rotisserie or cook after dark regularly, since the rear infrared burner, 110V ignition, halogen interior lighting and LED knobs are what the difference buys. If you will not, the American Eagle covers the same core cooking performance for less.
