American Made Grills Estate Freedom 42" 3-Burner Gas Grill
1,083 in² of USA-Built Gas Performance — With the Freedom to Build the Accessory Package You Actually Want
The American Made Grills Estate Freedom 42" gives you the full Estate platform at maximum size — 18-gauge hood, 9mm grates, rear infrared rotisserie burner — and lets you configure the accessories around how you cook.
The American Made Grills Estate Freedom 42" Built-In Gas Grill (EST42-FR-NG / EST42-FR-LP) is the largest grill in the Estate Freedom lineup — three 26,000 BTU stainless U-tube main burners, a 12,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner, 9mm stainless cooking grates, ceramic briquette flame tamers, an 18-gauge double-lined spring-assist hood, and interior halogen and LED lighting across 1,083 in² of cooking surface. It ships with a vinyl cover and care kit. From there you choose which add-ons fit your outdoor kitchen: cast red brass H-burners, rotisserie kit, griddle plate, drop-in sear burner, or smoker tray. Built, factory-tested, and serviced in Long Island, New York, tested to ANSI Z21.58 / CGA 1.6, and backed by the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty.
Full Estate Performance at 42 Inches — Your Accessory Choices
The Estate Freedom 42" delivers the same structural and cooking specifications as the fully loaded Estate 42" — every performance component at full spec. The difference is the accessory package: you start with the grill and cover, then add exactly what your outdoor kitchen needs.
Three High-Output Burners
Three 26,000 BTU stainless U-tube main burners deliver 78,000 BTUs of primary cooking heat. A 12,000 BTU rear infrared burner brings the total to 90,000 BTUs — all four burners operate independently for precise zone control across the full 1,083 in².
The Largest Estate Cooking Surface
1,083 in² of total cooking surface across a 42" built-in footprint gives you enough room to cook for a large gathering in a single pass — multiple proteins, vegetables, a warm-hold zone, all simultaneously without batching.
Heavy-Duty Grates That Retain Heat
9mm solid stainless steel cooking grates hold surface temperature after loading cold proteins, press bold sear marks across the cooking surface, and take the demands of high-heat use season after season without degrading.
Rear Rotisserie Burner Built In
The 12,000 BTU rear infrared burner is built into the grill and ready for a rotisserie rod. Infrared rear heat surrounds the spit with even radiant heat — no hot and cold spots, no constant basting. The rotisserie kit is an optional add-on purchased separately.
Even Heat, Fewer Flare-Ups
Ceramic briquette flame tamers absorb and redistribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, dampen flare-ups from dripping fats, and vaporize drippings back as aromatic smoke. Consistent performance across the full 1,083 in².
Double-Lined Hood, Spring Assist
The 18-gauge double-lined stainless hood retains heat for convection cooking and seals the chamber from wind. Spring assist balances the hood weight so it opens smoothly with one hand and stays open without support throughout the cook.
The Freedom Difference — Build the Accessory Package You Actually Need
The standard Estate 42" ships with a complete accessory package at a higher price. The Estate Freedom 42" ships with the grill, vinyl cover, and care kit — then lets you add the accessories that match your cooking style. Optional add-ons include: cast red brass H-burners (drop-in upgrade), 100 lb.-capacity rotisserie kit, stainless steel griddle plate, drop-in infrared sear burner, and smoker tray — all sold separately by Deck & Den.
Who the Estate Freedom 42" Is For
- Large outdoor kitchen builders who need the widest Estate footprint and want to configure their own accessory package rather than receive a fixed bundle.
- Island builders adding multiple Estate components — side burner, power burner, or other Estate modules — who want the largest grill head without paying for duplicated accessories.
- Large-group entertainers who need 1,083 in² of cooking surface to handle a full gathering in a single pass without batching food.
- Buyers upgrading to red brass burners over time — the stainless U-tube burners ship standard; cast red brass H-burners are available as a drop-in upgrade sold separately when ready.
- Buy-American buyers who want domestic manufacture, domestic service, and the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty from a grill built in Long Island, New York.
- Evening and year-round grillers who need interior halogen lighting and blue LED-lit controls to cook confidently after dark on a large surface.

American Made Grills Estate Freedom 42" — Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Freedom" mean — how is this different from the standard Estate 42"?
The Estate Freedom 42" ships with the grill head, vinyl cover, and care kit only. The standard Estate 42" ships with a full accessory package — rotisserie kit, griddle, sear burner, smoker tray — included in the price. The Freedom variant lets you choose which accessories to add separately, so you pay only for what your outdoor kitchen needs. The grill's structural and performance specifications are the same across both variants.
What accessories are available to add to the Estate Freedom 42"?
AMG offers these optional add-ons for the Estate Freedom 42", all sold separately: cast red brass H-burners (drop-in upgrade replacing the stainless U-tube burners), 100 lb.-capacity rotisserie kit, stainless steel griddle plate, drop-in infrared sear burner, smoker tray, insulating grill liner (GL-EST42), and a freestanding cart (CART-EST42). Contact Deck & Den to bundle accessories with your grill purchase.
What is the total BTU output and how many burners does the Estate Freedom 42" have?
The Estate Freedom 42" delivers 90,000 total BTUs: 78,000 BTU from three 26,000 BTU stainless U-tube main burners, plus 12,000 BTU from the rear infrared rotisserie burner. All four burners operate independently.
Can I upgrade to red brass burners?
Yes. The Estate Freedom 42" ships with stainless U-tube main burners as standard. AMG offers cast red brass H-burners as a drop-in upgrade, sold separately. Red brass resists corrosion more effectively than standard stainless steel and is the burner material used in the fully loaded Estate 42". Contact Deck & Den to add them to your order.
Does the rear infrared burner come with a rotisserie kit?
No. The rear infrared burner is built into the grill and ready for a rotisserie rod, but the rotisserie kit is sold separately as an optional add-on. The 100 lb.-capacity rotisserie kit includes the motor, spit rod, forks, and related hardware. The grill does include built-in rotisserie spit storage for when the kit is installed.
What are the cutout dimensions for the Estate Freedom 42"?
The required cutout dimensions for the Estate Freedom 42" are 40.75 in wide × 21.625 in deep × 10.25 in tall, confirmed by BBQGuys. Always confirm against the AMG Cutout Dimensions Sheet (linked in Manuals & Documents above) before finalizing your island build. If your outdoor kitchen uses combustible materials such as wood framing, the Estate 42" Insulating Grill Liner (GL-EST42) is required and sold separately.
What cooking grates does the Estate Freedom 42" use?
The Estate Freedom 42" uses heavy-duty 9mm solid stainless steel cooking grates across a 39-3/4 in W × 19-1/2 in D cooking grid. At 9mm, they retain heat aggressively after loading cold proteins and deliver clean, defined sear marks across the full 1,083 in² surface. AMG also offers interchangeable grates as optional accessories.
What fuel types does the Estate Freedom 42" support?
The Estate Freedom 42" is available in Natural Gas (EST42-FR-NG) and Propane (EST42-FR-LP). Select your fuel type above before adding to cart. The grill is not field-convertible between fuel types — order the correct model for your outdoor kitchen's gas supply.
Is the Estate Freedom 42" available freestanding?
Yes. The EST42-FR-NG / EST42-FR-LP listed here is the built-in drop-in configuration. A freestanding cart (CART-EST42) is available separately for setups without a custom island. Contact Deck & Den for cart pairing and pricing.
What warranty does the Estate Freedom 42" carry?
The Estate Freedom 42" is covered by American Made Grills' Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty. Structural and mechanical 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, 100% non-prorated. Electrical components, including LED bulbs, wire harness and switches, power source wire, transformer, and interior halogen light wire and bulb, are covered for 3 years. Labor is not included. The warranty is honored directly by American Made Grills. Register promptly after purchase to activate coverage.
Can the Estate Freedom 42" be installed in a combustible outdoor kitchen island?
Only with the correct insulating grill liner. AMG requires the Estate 42" Grill Liner (model GL-EST42, sold separately) for installations in outdoor kitchens constructed from combustible materials such as wood framing. Do not install without it in a combustible surround. Confirm clearance requirements against the AMG Cutout Dimensions Sheet before beginning construction.
How does the Estate Freedom 42" compare to the Estate Freedom 36"?
Both grills share the same platform — identical burner BTU ratings, hood construction, grate thickness, ceramic briquette system, and included accessories (vinyl cover and care kit only). The 42" adds 163 in² of cooking surface (1,083 in² vs. 920 in²), a wider cooking grid (39-3/4 in vs. 33-3/4 in), and a larger island cutout (40.75 in vs. 34.75 in). Choose the 42" when your outdoor kitchen has the space and you regularly cook for larger groups.
Is the Estate Freedom 42" made in the USA?
Yes. The Estate Freedom 42" is built, factory-tested, and serviced at the American Made Grills facility in Long Island, New York.
Does Deck & Den offer free shipping on the Estate Freedom 42"?
Yes. Deck & Den provides free shipping on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states, and the Estate Freedom 42" qualifies. See the Deck & Den Shipping Policy for full details on delivery method and timing for large freight items.
What is Deck & Den's return policy for the Estate Freedom 42"?
