American Made Grills Atlas 36" 3-Burner Gas Grill

The Encore 36" supports natural gas, propane, charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, wood chunks, wood chips, and hardwood pellets. You can run any single fuel or any combination simultaneously using the patented multi-fuel tray system. Note: while hardwood pellets are supported, the grill does not include a hopper or auger mechanism.

The patented multi-fuel tray system sits beneath the reversible V-grates. Use the included proprietary grate-lifting tools to raise the grates, load your solid fuel of choice into the trays, then lower the grates back. Light the gas burners to ignite the solid fuels quickly, then adjust or turn off the gas as preferred. The V-grate design channels drippings into the drip pan system for easier cleanup. You can add fuel mid-cook by lifting the grates without losing significant heat.

The Encore 36" delivers 110,000 total BTUs from four 22,000 BTU 14-gauge stainless steel main burners plus a rotisserie back burner. AMG designs the system to distribute this output across the full 1,106 in² cooking surface without hot spots.

The Encore 36" is covered by American Made Grills' Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, honored directly by the manufacturer. Structural components — stainless steel construction, cooking grates, burners, burner covers, valves, flame tamers, heat zone separators, temperature gauges, hood springs, and briquette systems — are covered for life on a 100% non-prorated basis. Electrical components (LED bulbs, wire harness, switches, power source wire, transformer, interior halogen light wire and bulb) are covered for three (3) years. Labor is not included. Register your grill with AMG promptly after purchase.

It is included with every Encore 36" purchase, at no additional cost. The drop-in infrared sear burner ships in the box alongside the rotisserie kit, stainless steel griddle, grate lifting tools, leather glove set, fuel kit, and care kit.

The required cutout dimensions for the Encore 36" are 35 in wide × 25 in deep × 15 in tall. Always confirm against the official AMG Cutout Dimensions Sheet (linked in the Manuals & Documents section above) before finalizing your island build. If your outdoor kitchen uses combustible construction materials, the Encore/Muscle 36" Insulating Grill Liner (GL-HYB36) is required and sold separately.

Select Natural Gas (ENC36-NG) or Propane (ENC36-LP) above before adding to cart. This determines your gas connection type. The grill is not field-convertible between gas fuel types — order the correct model for your outdoor kitchen's supply. Solid fuel capability (charcoal, wood, etc.) is available on both models regardless of gas fuel type.

The grates are 9-gauge #304 stainless steel with a V-shaped profile. They are reversible: one orientation is optimized for open-flame gas or charcoal grilling; the other channels drippings toward the center drain path when cooking over solid fuels. Flip them using the included grate-lifting tools — no disassembly required.

Yes. The Encore 36" includes a dedicated rotisserie back burner and a rotisserie kit in the box. The back burner provides indirect rear heat that rotates proteins evenly without direct flame underneath — ideal for whole chickens, prime rib, or leg of lamb. Built-in rotisserie spit storage is also integrated into the grill body.

The Encore 36" includes interior halogen cooking lights that illuminate the cooking surface after dark, and LED lights above each control knob for easy heat-setting visibility in low-light conditions. Both are switch-operated.

Yes. The Encore 36" operates as a full-performance gas grill independently of the solid fuel system. Run all four gas burners with the fuel trays empty for a fast weeknight cook. The hybrid capability is there when you want it — it doesn't add friction to standard gas grilling.

Yes. The 16-gauge double-lined spring-assisted hood includes adjustable vents for heat and smoke control — particularly useful when cooking with solid fuels where airflow management directly affects burn rate, temperature, and smoke output.

Yes. The Encore 36" is tested to ANSI Z21.58 / CGA 1.6 — the North American standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

Only with the appropriate insulating grill liner. AMG requires the Encore/Muscle 36" Insulating Grill Liner (GL-HYB36) when installing into an outdoor kitchen constructed from combustible materials such as wood framing. The liner is sold separately. Do not install without it in a combustible surround.

The Encore 36" is built, factory-tested, and serviced at American Made Grills' facility in Long Island, New York. Every grill is crafted, inspected, and prepped on AMG's domestic factory floor before shipping.

The Atlas 36" is AMG's entry-level luxury gas-only built-in, designed for grillers who want premium gas performance and a clean island integration. The Encore 36" sits above it in the lineup with hybrid multi-fuel capability, a rotisserie back burner, adjustable hood vents, a heavier-gauge hood (16-gauge vs. 18-gauge), and a comprehensive accessory package included in the box. If multi-fuel flexibility and live-fire cooking are priorities, the Encore is the right step up.
