Artisan 26" American Eagle Series 2-Burner Built-In Grill
Description
The Artisan 26" American Eagle Series grill is a premium outdoor cooking centerpiece built for those who demand restaurant-quality results in their backyard or outdoor kitchen. Constructed entirely from commercial-grade 304, 18-8 stainless steel with durable heli-arc hand-welded seams and no mechanical fasteners, this grill is engineered to withstand years of outdoor use without compromise. Three heavy-duty stainless steel "U" burners deliver 37,600 BTUs of evenly distributed heat, while refractive ceramic briquettes radiate intense, consistent temperatures across every inch of the cooking surface.
Available in both built-in and freestanding cart configurations, and in Natural Gas or Liquid Propane, the American Eagle Series fits seamlessly into any outdoor kitchen setup or patio arrangement. Artisan's exclusive air-cooling curtain, heat-protected wiring, and precision brass valves reflect a level of engineering detail that sets this grill apart from the competition. Made in the USA, this is a grill built for serious cooks who refuse to settle for less.
Key Features
- Three 304 Stainless Steel U-Burners: Dual rows of double-lanced ports on three sides for even, efficient combustion and 37,600 total BTUs of cooking power.
- 570 Sq In Grilling Area: Generous cooking surface including the two-position warming rack - plenty of room for large meals and entertaining.
- Refractive Ceramic 5-Way Heat Distributing Briquettes: Pyramid-shaped briquettes with a heat-holding underside cavity deliver intense, even radiant heat - and the tray flips over for self-cleaning.
- Exclusive Air Cooling Curtain: A pressurized plenum blasts cool air between the control panel and firebox, keeping the front panel and bull-nose cool to the touch and protecting all electronics.
- Heat-Protected Wiring: Every electrical wire is encapsulated in a 600-degree heat-resistant silicone sleeve, with connectors shielded in matching heat-resistant boots.
- 9V Electronic Ignition: Stainless steel push-button ignition switches are ergonomically integrated into the front control panel for reliable, easy starts.
- Fully-Adjustable Brass Valves: Precision brass valves allow for fine-tuned flame control across all burners.
- Hood Lift Assist System: A hidden spiral torsion spring system made from non-corrosive stainless steel makes opening the lid smooth and effortless, with nickel-plated end caps for lasting comfort.
- Integrated Hood Thermometer: Built into the hood on every model for accurate oven-roasting temperature monitoring.
- Made in the USA: Commercial-grade 304, 18-8 stainless steel construction with heli-arc hand-welded seams - no mechanical fasteners.
- Optional Rotisserie: Compatible with the ART-ROT26 rotisserie accessory (motor, spit, and forks sold separately).
Model & Fuel Options - Which to Choose
- Built-In / Natural Gas: Designed to drop into a custom outdoor kitchen island or countertop. Connects to a dedicated natural gas line for continuous fuel supply - no tanks to swap. Ideal for permanent outdoor kitchen installations where natural gas is available.
- Built-In / Liquid Propane: Same drop-in built-in configuration, but runs on standard LP propane tanks. Great for built-in installs where a natural gas hookup isn't available or convenient.
- Cart / Natural Gas: Comes mounted on a freestanding cart with fold-down side shelves, seamless door design, and double-magnet doors - fully assembled and ready to use. Natural gas connection required. Best for patios or decks with a gas line where you want a ready-to-use freestanding setup. Cart model ships fully assembled.
- Cart / Liquid Propane: Same full-featured freestanding cart, running on LP propane tanks for maximum placement flexibility - no gas line needed. Ships fully assembled. Perfect for those who want a complete, portable outdoor grill station anywhere in the yard.

FAQ
What is the difference between the Built-In and Cart models?
The Built-In model (AAEP-26) is designed to drop into a custom outdoor kitchen island or countertop and requires a surrounding enclosure for installation. If your enclosure uses combustible materials, an insulated jacket (ARTIJ-26) is required. The Cart model (AAEP-26C) comes fully assembled on a freestanding cart with fold-down side shelves, a seamless door design, and double-magnet doors - it's ready to use right out of the box without any island or enclosure needed.
Do I need an insulated jacket for the built-in model?
If your outdoor kitchen island or enclosure is constructed from combustible materials (such as wood framing), then yes - an insulated jacket (ARTIJ-26) is required for safe installation. If your enclosure is made from non-combustible materials such as concrete block or steel studs, the insulated jacket is not required. Spec sheets for both the grill and insulated jacket are available in the documents section above.
Can I add a rotisserie to this grill?
Yes! The 26" American Eagle Series is compatible with the optional ART-ROT26 rotisserie kit, which includes the motor, spit, and forks. The rotisserie is sold separately and is not included with the standard grill purchase. Contact us if you'd like to add it to your order.
Is there an optional infrared sear burner available?
Yes - the ART-ISB Sear Zone Infrared Burner is an optional interchangeable accessory that replaces one of the standard burner sections. It delivers 20,000 BTUs through a 100% combusting ceramic surface for intense, even heat that cooks 50% faster with virtually no flare-ups - perfect for steakhouse-quality sears. The matching ASZG Sear Zone Grate is recommended for use with the infrared burner.
What fuel types are available and can I convert between them?
The 26" American Eagle Series is available in both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) configurations. You must specify your fuel type at the time of purchase, as the grill is set up for a specific fuel type. Conversion between fuel types is not a standard field swap - please contact us or Artisan directly if you have questions about fuel compatibility before ordering.
What accessories are compatible with this grill?
This grill is compatible with a wide range of Artisan accessories including the Sear Zone Infrared Burner (ART-ISB), Sear Zone Grate (ASZG), Stainless Steel Griddle (ARTP-G), Grill Cover (ART-26CV for built-in, ART-26CVC for cart), Wind Guard (ARTP-26WS), Insulated Jacket (ARTIJ-26), Rotisserie Kit (ART-ROT26), and more. Contact us for accessory availability and pricing.
