American Made Grills - Estate Freedom - 36" Built-In Gas Grill
The American Made Grills Estate Freedom 36" Built-In Gas Grill (model number EST36-FR) gives you the Estate body, hood and cooking system, and lets you decide which upgrades to add. It runs on three 26,000 BTU stainless steel U-tube burners plus a 12,000 BTU infrared back burner, for 90,000 BTUs in all.
Like every Estate, it is built in the USA from #304 stainless steel, with a spring-assisted hood, interior lights and LED knob lights. Start with the grill as it ships, then add red brass burners, a sear burner, a rotisserie or a smoker tray whenever you are ready.
The Estate Freedom 36": Build It Your Way
AMG calls the add-ons for this grill Freedom to Choose items. The cast red brass H-burners, 26,000 BTU drop-in infrared sear burner, rotisserie kit, griddle plate and smoker tray all fit the Freedom, so you can buy the grill now and turn it into a fully loaded Estate over time.
Out of the box, the stainless U-tube burners heat 920 square inches of total cooking surface through an easy-clean briquette system that catches drippings and evens out the heat. Heavy-duty 8 mm square grates leave bold marks, heat zone separators let you cook hot and low at once, and the infrared back burner is there when you add the rotisserie.
The Freedom uses the same 34-3/4" wide cutout and the same Estate grill liner as the standard Estate, so island plans work for either grill. Browse our built-in grills or read our outdoor kitchen planning guide for layout ideas.

How the Freedom Compares to the Estate
The Freedom and the Estate share the body, hood, cutout, grates and back burner. The Estate ships with red brass burners and the sear burner, rotisserie, griddle and smoker tray already in the box. The Freedom costs less to start and lets you add those pieces one at a time. Both are in our American Made Grills collection.
