Use gas, charcoal or hardwood in the same grill. The multi-fuel trays let you choose the fuel for each cook, from a quick gas-fired meal to wood-fired cooking.

Each 14-gauge stainless-steel main burner delivers 22,000 BTUs. Flamethrower ignition and backup manual lighting tubes help start gas, charcoal or wood.

Reversible 9-gauge stainless-steel V-grates support different fuel combinations and cooking techniques. Turn the grates to suit the way you want to cook.

Lift the grates with the supplied tools to load fuel into the trays. After cooking, brush cooled debris into the drip-tray system for removal.

A main cooking surface and warming rack give you space to grill mains, cook vegetables and keep finished food warm.

The gas burners ignite the charcoal or hardwood in the trays, bringing gas convenience to solid-fuel cooking.

The double-lined hood uses spring assistance to make lifting and closing it easier during a cook.

Adjustable vents let you manage airflow through the hood when cooking with charcoal or hardwood.

Interior halogen lights illuminate the cooking surface so you can see the food when grilling after sunset.

Lighting above the control knobs keeps the controls visible during evening cooking.

The removable tray collects cooking drippings for easier cleanup after the grill has cooled.

EXTERNAL CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
Encore is for the cook who wants gas convenience during the week and room to experiment with wood or charcoal on the weekend. The heavy stainless build and fuel trays make that flexibility central to the grill rather than an afterthought. We would choose it because you will use those different cooking methods, not simply because it has more features. Switching fuels brings ash, grease and more cleanup, so leave comfortable working space and service access when planning the island.
Owners highlight an Encore that is satisfying to own, appealing to look at and straightforward to use. Feedback on the 54-inch model specifically praises its appearance and ease of operation, while a 36-inch owner describes being very pleased with the purchase. Those are encouraging points for someone choosing a grill that will be a prominent part of the outdoor kitchen.
Encore combines gas burners with trays for charcoal and wood, so you can choose the cooking method around the meal. We like that flexibility for a kitchen used for both quick dinners and longer weekend cooks. It is the main reason to consider Encore over a simpler gas grill.
The stainless cooking assembly includes reversible V-shaped grates, while the spring-assisted hood helps with lifting the lid. Interior lighting and illuminated controls are useful when cooking after sunset. Together, these details make the grill worth considering beyond its appearance alone.
Cooking with wood or charcoal adds ash handling to the usual grease cleanup. Plan where cooled fuel trays and cooking tools can go, and keep the cleaning route accessible. Follow the manual for cooling and ash disposal before removing solid-fuel components.
Compare the exact equipment supplied with your chosen size and configuration, including searing, griddle and rotisserie accessories. A built-in installation needs service access as well as the correct opening; a freestanding setup needs comfortable working room around the cart.
Encore earns its place when you will regularly use more than one fuel or cooking method. Compare the complete installed or freestanding package, including the equipment you would otherwise buy separately. If most meals will be cooked with gas alone, a simpler grill may meet your needs at a lower total cost.
