The Hybrid Grill That Gives You Everything

A great hybrid grill does more than combine two fuel sources. It changes how you think about outdoor cooking — and what you expect from every session. Gas fires up fast, holds a precise temperature, and keeps your evening moving. Charcoal brings that deep, smoky character and live-fire searing heat that makes food taste like an occasion.

At American Made Grills, the Hybrid Series puts both in your hands at once, built from American stainless steel, powered by unmatched BTU output, and designed to perform as beautifully as it looks in any outdoor kitchen.

Gas and Charcoal Together: A Better Way to Cook Outdoors

Outdoor cooking has its own rhythm. Some nights call for a fast, reliable weeknight cook — burgers, chicken, vegetables — done in under twenty minutes. Other sessions deserve more: slow heat, layered smoke, and the kind of result that draws everyone to the table before you even call them. A luxury multi-fuel grill lets you meet both moments without adjusting your setup or your expectations.

The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association reports that flavor remains the top reason people choose to grill — cited by more than 70 percent of grill owners. Gas delivers control and convenience. Charcoal and hardwood deliver that flavor depth that gas alone cannot replicate. Running them together gives you full command over every cook, every time.

What a True Hybrid Grill Actually Offers

At its core, a hybrid grill combines gas power with solid-fuel cooking in a single unit. The AMG Hybrid Series takes that concept further with a patented multi-fuel tray system — meaning you run charcoal, hardwood, lump coal, pellets, and wood chips simultaneously, not simply as alternating options. Load charcoal into two trays, soak wood chips in a third, and let the powerful gas burners underneath light everything efficiently. The result is a layered cooking environment that a single-fuel grill cannot replicate.

Here is what that looks like during a real cook:

• Gas burners ignite charcoal in minutes — no lighter fluid, no chimney wait, no delay.
• Run charcoal in two trays and soak wood chips in a third simultaneously for a deep, complex smoke flavor.
• Sear over lump coal in one zone while holding a lower temperature with gas in another zone.
• Switch techniques mid-cook without stopping, resetting, or losing the heat you have built.
• Add smoked flavor that a gas-only outdoor kitchen grill cannot match, without the long setup of a dedicated charcoal cooker.

American Steel: The Foundation of Every AMG Hybrid Grill

Built to a higher standard

Nearly every component in an AMG hybrid grill comes from American stainless steel — and that matters in ways you feel every season. Domestic stainless production operates under ASTM and OSHA standards with precise chemical control over alloy composition. The result is steel with superior corrosion resistance, strong structural integrity under sustained heat, and a long service life through years of serious outdoor cooking. These grills hold their finish season after season, resisting rust, staining, and pitting that would compromise a lesser-built grill.

Tighter manufacturing tolerances mean every component is produced to exact specifications. Parts align correctly at assembly. Replacement parts fit reliably years after purchase. Nothing needs to be forced into place — the engineering ensures it fits right the first time and every time after.

Heat that performs from the first cook

High-density ceramic briquettes, sourced from the United States and Canada, complete the materials story. Denser ceramic retains heat more effectively and distributes it more uniformly across the cooking surface — a meaningful difference when you are cooking for a crowd or managing multiple zones at once. In both briquette trays and infrared burners, that density translates to consistent searing temperatures, better vaporization of drippings, and a more controlled cooking environment from the first session.

Proudly Built in the USA — and What That Means for You

American Made Grills builds every grill in the United States, with a domestic supply chain that runs from raw material sourcing to final assembly. Working with American suppliers keeps lead times short, maintains full production accountability, and insulates pricing from overseas freight costs that can significantly inflate the price of imported equipment. For the owner, that stability means a grill that performs as expected from day one, with replacement parts that stay available and continue to fit correctly for years into ownership. No hunting for discontinued components. No improvised fixes. Just a grill that works, backed by the Gold Standard Warranty.

Supporting domestic manufacturing also means supporting American jobs and the skilled tradespeople who build these grills by hand. That's a value AMG has held since its founding — and one that shows in every weld, every component, and every season of reliable performance.

Meet the AMG Hybrid Grill Collection

The American Made Grills Hybrid Series brings the full multi-fuel platform to three distinct designs. Each model shares the same all-#304 stainless steel construction, patented fuel tray system, and powerful burner output — and all are available in both built-in and freestanding configurations. Whether anchored into a custom outdoor kitchen island or standing on its own, every model in the collection performs equally at the highest level.

Encore Grill

Clean, modern lines define the Encore. Its refined exterior suits outdoor spaces where design carries as much weight as performance. Available in 36" and 54", the Encore delivers five to eight 20,000 BTU burners per size, with flamethrower ignition valves and manual backup lighting built in. LED front panels and interior halogen lighting make managing a long cook in the evening as straightforward as cooking in full daylight. Load charcoal in two trays, add soaked wood chips to a third, light everything with the gas burners, and the Encore runs the entire multi-fuel cook without interruption.

Muscle Grill

The Muscle Grill projects confidence before the lid opens. Its bold proportions and strong stance carry the same core performance in a design that signals power and character. At the 54" scale, it handles a full pork rotisserie while maintaining an active grilling surface for additional cooking — a true multi-task capability that rewards outdoor cooks who run serious, ambitious sessions.

Ovation Grill

The Ovation is the newest expression of the AMG hybrid platform. Its front profile draws from the Estate Series' refined aesthetic, while its deeper body and strong stance carry full Hybrid Series performance. Clean lines and balanced proportions give it a natural presence in any space — whether set into a custom island or used freestanding. The same multi-fuel system runs underneath: gas, charcoal, hardwood, and more, all within one beautifully built outdoor cooking grill.

Frequently Asked Questions About the AMG Hybrid Grill

What is a hybrid grill?

A hybrid grill combines gas burners with a solid-fuel system — charcoal, hardwood, pellets, lump coal, or wood chips — in a single unit. The AMG Hybrid Series goes further with a patented multi-fuel tray design that lets you run multiple fuel types simultaneously, giving you both gas convenience and charcoal or wood-fired depth in the same cook.

Can you use charcoal and gas at the same time?

Yes — and that simultaneous capability is what sets the AMG Hybrid Series apart. You can use gas burners to ignite charcoal quickly, then run both together for layered heat and flavor. Add wood chips to a separate tray, and you have a three-source cooking environment, all managed from a single grill with a single setup.

How long does an American Made Grill last?

AMG grills are built from American stainless steel produced under ASTM and OSHA standards, with tight manufacturing tolerances and high-density ceramic briquettes from U.S. and Canadian suppliers. That combination produces a grill designed for long-term outdoor use — one that resists corrosion, holds its finish, and maintains consistent performance across many seasons of serious cooking. Every grill also comes with the AMG Gold Standard Warranty for additional peace of mind.

Are AMG hybrid grills available as built-in grills?

Every model in the Hybrid Series — the Encore, Muscle Grill, and Ovation — is available in both freestanding and built-in configurations. As a built-in grill, each integrates cleanly into a custom outdoor kitchen island. As a freestanding unit, each stands on its own with the same full performance and the same premium materials.

Your Outdoor Kitchen Deserves a Grill Built to Last

Great outdoor cooking starts with a grill you trust — one that handles whatever fuel you want to use, performs reliably season after season, and brings something real to every gathering. The AMG Hybrid Series gives you gas speed, charcoal depth, and wood-fired character in a single platform, hand-built in the United States from materials that earn their price. You no longer have to pick a side in the gas vs. charcoal debate. Run both, cook well, and spend your time where it belongs — with the people around the grill.
