American Made Grills (AMG) is a family-owned and operated outdoor cooking brand headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, with over 65 years of leadership in branding and manufacturing. Every grill in the AMG lineup is proudly designed, built, and factory-tested in the USA using premium 304 stainless steel. The brand was founded on a passion to craft products that animate the backyard and deliver immersive, luxury cooking experiences — and every model reflects that mission through its materials, engineering, and finish quality. Carefree Home Furnishings is an authorized American Made Grills dealer.

American Made Grills backs its products with a Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty — one of the strongest warranties in the outdoor cooking industry. The lifetime warranty covers construction and manufacturer defects across all major components: stainless steel construction, cooking grates, burners, burner covers, valves, flame tamers, heat zone separators, temperature gauges, hood springs, and briquette systems. All other parts and the electrical system — including LED bulbs, wire harnesses, switches, and interior lighting — carry a 3-year warranty. Labor is not included. To activate the warranty, register your grill online and retain your proof of purchase.

AMG offers four main series, each targeting a different cooking style and budget tier. The Hybrid Series (Muscle and Encore models) are multi-fuel grills that cook with gas, charcoal, lump coal, hardwood, and pellets — all in one unit. The Estate Series delivers high-BTU luxury gas grilling with red brass burners, ceramic briquette flame tamers, and full-width cooking surfaces. The Atlas Series offers commercial-grade stainless performance in a more compact, space-friendly footprint. The Alturi Series brings premium stainless craftsmanship and luxury styling at a more accessible price point. All four series are available in built-in and freestanding cart configurations.

Three things distinguish AMG from the majority of the outdoor cooking market. First, genuine US manufacturing — every grill is built in California, not imported and relabelled. Second, material quality — all AMG grills use 304 stainless steel throughout, the commercial-grade specification used in professional kitchens, which is significantly more corrosion-resistant than the lower-grade steel used in many competing grills. Third, multi-fuel capability — AMG’s patented Hybrid Series allows you to cook with gas, charcoal, wood chunks, lump charcoal, and pellets in a single grill, a level of versatility that most competing brands cannot match at any price point.

Yes — every AMG model is available in a built-in configuration designed specifically for installation into outdoor kitchen islands, countertop cutouts, and custom BBQ enclosures. The built-in versions ship with matching faces, trim, and ventilation specifications to integrate cleanly into any outdoor kitchen build. AMG also offers a full ecosystem of matching outdoor kitchen accessories — side burners, refrigerators, storage drawers, and more — all with matching faces, knobs, handles, and lighting so your outdoor kitchen maintains a cohesive look from end to end.

The AMG Hybrid Series (Muscle and Encore) uses a patented fuel tray system that lets you burn solid fuels — charcoal, lump coal, hardwood chunks, wood pellets, or a combination — directly within the grill. The gas burners underneath ignite the solid fuel quickly without lighter fluid. Once lit, you can cook with solid fuel only, gas only, or both simultaneously to control temperature and add smoke flavour. For longer low-and-slow cooks like ribs or pork shoulder, keep one gas burner on very low to help stabilise temperature while the charcoal or wood provides flavour. The Hybrid delivers the convenience of gas with the authentic flavour of charcoal and wood.

AMG offers grills in 30-inch, 36-inch, and 42-inch configurations across most of its series, giving you flexibility based on your cooking surface requirements and available installation space. The 42-inch Estate model, for example, features 1,090 square inches of total grilling area and 93,000 BTUs — enough to cook for large gatherings. The 30-inch Atlas is better suited to tighter outdoor kitchen layouts or smaller patios without sacrificing performance or build quality. Each model is available in both built-in and freestanding cart versions.

Every AMG model ships with a comprehensive accessories package. Standard inclusions across the lineup are a custom vinyl grill cover, rotisserie kit, stainless steel griddle, drop-in infrared sear burner, smoker tray, and a care kit. Additionally, each model features interior and exterior LED lighting, a spring-assisted hood, heavy-duty 9mm cooking grates, and a custom-machined thermometer. Optional add-ons include matching side burners, freestanding cart upgrades, and the full AMG outdoor kitchen accessory suite — all designed to match the grill’s aesthetic precisely.

After each cook, burn off residual food and grease on high for 10–15 minutes with the lid closed, then brush the grates while hot. For the stainless steel exterior, use a stainless steel cleaner and always wipe in the direction of the grain — never across it — to avoid scratching the finish. The AMG drip tray and grease management system should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent flare-up risks. Cover the grill when not in use with the included vinyl cover to protect against UV and moisture. Each AMG grill ships with a full care kit containing the appropriate cleaning products for its specific materials.

For serious outdoor cooks who want a permanent installation, the answer is yes — and the maths back it up. AMG grills are built with 304 stainless steel throughout, carry a lifetime warranty on all major components, and are manufactured under US quality and safety regulations. The alternative — a lower-cost imported grill — typically uses thinner, lower-grade steel, carries a 1–2 year warranty, and may require replacement within 3–5 years. When you factor in the cost of replacement over a decade, an AMG grill frequently costs less in the long run. The multi-fuel Hybrid capability also means the AMG replaces what would otherwise require two or three separate cooking appliances — a gas grill, a charcoal smoker, and a pellet cooker — further improving its value proposition.
