Is the Muscle 54" available in liquid propane?
Yes. The Muscle 54" ships in both Natural Gas and Liquid Propane configurations — select your fuel type at checkout.
How does the Hybrid multi-fuel system actually work?
Pack charcoal, lump coal, or wood into the patented fuel trays beneath the cooking grates, then fire the gas burners for 3-5 minutes to get the solid fuel lit. Kill the gas and the extra airflow keeps it burning, so you can finish the cook on straight charcoal or wood — or run gas and solid fuel together across different zones.
What's the difference between the Encore and Muscle lines?
Both share the same Hybrid Series burner and fuel-tray platform — the Muscle line carries bold, muscle-car-inspired front styling, while the Encore is styled for a cleaner, more streamlined look.
Can the Muscle 54" be installed as a built-in, or does it need a cart?
The Muscle 54" is designed as a built-in grill head for an outdoor kitchen island. A cart-mounted freestanding version is also available — contact our team if you need the cart configuration.
What's covered under the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty?
Replacement parts are covered on a 100% non-prorated basis for as long as you own the grill, so you never pay a declining percentage as the unit ages.

How To Load & Switch Fuel
Muscle runs on charcoal, wood, or gas in the same firebox. Here's how to load and switch between them.
Load the Fuel Trays
Lift the 9-gauge V-grates with the grate-lifting tool and pack the 14-gauge fuel trays with charcoal, lump coal, wood chunks, or chips - however much fuel your cook demands.
Fire the Burners
Hit the 22,000 BTU burners and give them 3-5 minutes to run. The direct flame lights your solid fuel across every tray fast and evenly, no lighter fluid required.
Kill the Gas, Keep the Burn
Shut the gas off and let the extra oxygen take over. It's the fastest way to go full solid-fuel, and it's how you get that unmistakable charcoal and hardwood character.
Command Your Heat Zones
Work the adjustable hood vents to control airflow, mixing gas and solid fuel across zones to sear hard, smoke low, or do both at once.
