Elevating Outdoor Culinary Artistry: Our Take on the Artisan American Eagle 36" Grill
In the realm of outdoor kitchen living, where every element contributes to an overarching sense of luxury and capability, the grill stands as the undisputed heart of the culinary experience. For discerning homeowners across the greater Nashville area, from the vibrant communities of Franklin to the elegant enclaves of Belle Meade, the quest for a grill that marries uncompromising performance with timeless craftsmanship is paramount. At Embers Grill and Fireplace Store, after years of curating and creating these bespoke outdoor havens, we consistently champion the Artisan American Eagle Series 36" grill. It's not merely an appliance; it's a testament to American engineering and design prowess, meticulously crafted to transform every outdoor cooking endeavor into an act of culinary artistry, consistently surpassing the lofty expectations of our esteemed clientele.
The Foundation of Unrivaled Performance
When it comes to crafting a truly luxurious outdoor living experience, the heart of any culinary space is its grill. Artisan's commitment to materials and construction is immediately evident in the American Eagle 36". This grill is meticulously crafted from heavy-duty 304 18-8 commercial-grade stainless steel, a superior material chosen for its unparalleled durability and resistance to the elements, ensuring it withstands the rigors of living outdoors for years to come. Unlike many alternatives, Artisan's approach involves heli-arc hand-welded seams, eliminating mechanical fasteners and creating a seamless, robust structure that speaks to the highest standards of craftsmanship we expect for our clients seeking custom fireplaces and bespoke outdoor solutions. Our kitchen portfolio showcases many such installations.
The core of the Artisan American Eagle's cooking prowess lies in its exclusive Heat Delivery System. Equipped with three powerful 20,000 BTU main burners, these "U" burners are constructed from 300 Series stainless steel and feature dual rows of clean and efficient combusting double lance ports on three sides. This innovative design ensures extreme, evenly distributed high heat across the entire cooking surface, eliminating hot and cold spots for consistent, perfect results every time. Homeowners in Hendersonville and Murfreesboro who invest in built-in grills from Embers understand that this level of precise heat control is paramount for elevating their outdoor culinary artistry, making every meal an event.
Precision Heat: The Artisan Sear Zone and Briquette System
For those who demand authentic steakhouse results and exceptional versatility, the Artisan American Eagle 36" offers an optional, interchangeable Sear Zone™ Infrared Burner. This powerful 20,000 BTU infrared burner features a 100% combusting ceramic surface, delivering intense, even heat that sears meats beautifully, locking in juices and flavor. Not only does it cook up to 50% faster, but it also dramatically reduces flare-ups, allowing you to achieve perfectly crusted steaks, chops, and fish without constant vigilance. It's an indispensable feature for any serious outdoor chef looking to expand their outdoor kitchen appliances capabilities beyond traditional grilling, an amenity highly valued by our clients across all service areas.
Further enhancing the grill's exceptional heat management are the Refractive Locked-in Place Ceramic 5-Way Heat Distributing Briquettes. These specially designed briquettes, with their unique pyramid shape, flat top, and heat-holding cavity on the underside, work in conjunction with the "U" burners to deliver truly intense and uniform heat to the cooking surface. The radiant tray ingeniously locks the briquettes in place, preventing shifting and ensuring consistent performance. A truly thoughtful design detail, these briquettes offer a self-cleaning function – simply turn the tray over and fire the burners on high with the lid closed to effortlessly burn away residue. This combination of intelligent design and practical functionality sets Artisan Grills apart, making clean-up for your outdoor kitchen storage a breeze.
Craftsmanship Beyond Compare: Materials & Construction
Proudly Made in the USA, the Artisan American Eagle Series exemplifies a dedication to quality that resonates deeply with our Embers ethos. Every component, from the grill body to the smallest grill accessories, is fabricated from commercial-grade 304, 18-8 stainless steel, a benchmark for corrosion resistance and longevity. The durable heli-arc hand-welded seams are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring structural integrity that will endure the test of time and weather, a critical factor for homeowners in areas like Oak Hill and Nolensville when investing in high-end outdoor furniture or cooking equipment.
The Stainless Steel Cooking Grates are another highlight, engineered for both performance and ease of maintenance. These heavy-duty grates feature a special non-stick, electro-polished finish, which not only provides an ideal cooking surface but also simplifies the cleaning process. Positioned perfectly over the briquette and "U" burner sections, they contribute to the even heat distribution while making sure your food cooks to perfection without sticking. This attention to detail in every aspect of the Artisan design reflects the premium quality our clients expect from their outdoor kitchens & living spaces.
Intelligent Design for Effortless Control
Precision control is paramount for gourmet grilling, and the Artisan American Eagle excels with its Fully-Adjustable Brass Valves. These valves allow for exceptionally precise flame control, giving you the power to fine-tune temperatures for everything from low and slow smoking to high-heat searing. The completely redesigned grill knobs, crafted with a precision touch in mind, offer a satisfying tactile experience, enhancing the overall user interaction. For homeowners in Green Hill who value both aesthetics and functionality in their outdoor features, this thoughtful engineering ensures that every aspect of the grilling process is intuitive and enjoyable, as highlighted in our blog articles about premium appliances.
The ergonomic design extends to the redesigned switches, which feature stainless steel push-buttons seamlessly integrated into the front control panel for ignition. This sleek and practical approach not only enhances the grill's sophisticated appearance but also ensures reliable and easy startup every time. Embers prides itself on providing products that blend seamlessly into high-end design schemes while offering unparalleled usability. If you have any questions about how these features enhance your cooking experience, our customer service team is always ready to assist.
Advanced Engineering for Safety and Longevity
Safety and long-term reliability are non-negotiable for Embers and our discerning clients. The Artisan American Eagle incorporates an Exclusive Control Panel Air Cooling Curtain, a unique feature that blasts a curtain of cool air up between the front control panel and the firebox. This innovative plenum design ensures that the front panel and bull-nose remain safely cool to the touch, even during intense grilling sessions, protecting both the user and the grill's sensitive electronics. This meticulous engineering speaks to the durability and thoughtful design that goes into every Artisan appliance, giving you peace of mind for your outdoor ventilation & heating needs.
Further safeguarding the grill's internal components is the Exclusive Heat-Protected Wiring. Each electrical wire is encapsulated along its full length with a 600º heat-resistance silicone sleeve, providing an impenetrable barrier against extreme temperatures. All electric connectors are similarly protected with a shielding boot made from the same high-performance silicone, ensuring the longevity and reliable operation of the grill's electrical system. This superior protection underscores Artisan's commitment to building appliances that are not only high-performing but also engineered to last, a commitment we share for all products in our showroom serving areas like La Vergne.
Thoughtful Features for the Avid Cook
Every detail of the Artisan American Eagle 36" grill has been considered to enhance the outdoor cooking experience. The Adjustable Food Warming and Grilling rack is made from solid stainless-steel rod, ensuring both long life and effortless cleaning. This two-position warming rack conveniently stores up and out of the way when not in use, yet is readily available to keep cooked foods warm or to gently grill vegetables. It’s these thoughtful conveniences that elevate a great grill to an exceptional one, making it a perfect complement to a sophisticated outdoor fireplace setup.
The user-friendly design continues with the Hood Lift Assist System. This unique, integrated, and hidden spiral torsion system, crafted from non-corrosive stainless steel, ensures many years of smooth and effortless opening and closing of the grill hood. The handle itself spins smoothly in nickel-plated end caps for optimal comfort, reflecting a commitment to ergonomic design. Furthermore, an integrated thermometer is standard on every Artisan grill, built directly into the hood for accurate oven roasting temperatures, a feature much appreciated by chefs in Columbia who enjoy precise cooking. This combination of advanced features and robust construction ensures the Artisan grill is a lasting investment in your outdoor kitchen cabinets & islands.
