American Outdoor Grills AOG Built-In Grills

What size American Outdoor Grills built-in grill do I need?

AOG built-in grills come in 24, 30 and 36 inch widths. The 24-inch works for a compact island or a couple, the 30-inch covers a family of four, and the 36-inch handles regular entertaining. Match the official cutout dimensions to your island opening before the masonry goes up. Compare 30-inch built-in grills.

Is the AOG L-Series worth it over the T-Series?

The L-Series is worth it if you grill after dark or cook rotisserie. It adds interior halogen lighting and a rear infrared rotisserie back burner to the same hand-welded 304 stainless body the T-Series uses. If your island is already lit and you never spin a roast, the T-Series delivers the same core cooking.

How many burners do AOG built-in grills have?

AOG built-in grills use two or three burners. The 24-inch T-Series and L-Series run two burners at 32,000 BTUs, the 30-inch runs three burners at 45,000 to 57,000 BTUs, and the 36-inch runs three burners at 50,000 BTUs. L-Series models add a rear rotisserie burner on top of that.

Can I convert an AOG built-in grill from propane to natural gas?

No. American Outdoor Grills built-in grills are sold as dedicated propane or natural gas models, so choose the fuel type that matches your setup before ordering. For natural gas, have a licensed installer run the line so pressure is correct. For propane, build a ventilated cavity into the island for the tank.

What do I need to plan before installing an AOG built-in grill?

Use the official AOG cutout dimensions for your exact model and leave the combustible clearances AOG specifies. Plan a ventilated space for an LP tank, or a licensed gas line for natural gas. These grills drop into custom islands and stainless cabinetry, so the opening has to be cut to the model rather than the nominal width.

What are AOG built-in grills made of?

AOG built-in grills are built in the USA from 304 stainless steel with hand-welded hoods, which is what gives them a seamless look dropped into an island. The doors, drawers and liners across the American Outdoor Grills range use the same grade, so a full island matches.

How much should I budget for an AOG built-in grill?

Budget roughly $2,500 to $6,000 for an American Outdoor Grills built-in grill. Size and series drive the number: a 24-inch T-Series sits at the bottom of that band and a 36-inch L-Series with lighting and rotisserie near the top. Access doors, drawers and an insulating liner are separate line items.

Which AOG built-in grill works with a natural gas line?

Every AOG built-in grill size is offered in a dedicated natural gas version, in both T-Series and L-Series. Natural gas models carry an N at the end of the model number and propane models a P, as in AOG36TN versus AOG36TP. Browse natural gas built-in grills to compare.

Do I need an insulating liner for an AOG built-in grill?

An insulating grill liner may be required when an American Outdoor Grills built-in grill is installed into an island built from combustible materials such as wood framing. Whether one is needed depends on the model, the surrounding construction and the clearances in the installation instructions. Design the island around those clearances and the approved liner rather than modifying it after the grill arrives. See grill liners.

Are AOG grills good for coastal outdoor kitchens?

American Outdoor Grills are reasonable candidates for coastal installations because of the 304 stainless steel construction, but stainless is not maintenance-free. Clean salt, humidity, grease and airborne contaminants off the grill regularly and keep the grill covered when it is not in use. Plan on routine stainless cleaning and a model-specific grill cover from the day the grill is installed.

How much island space should I leave around an AOG built-in grill?

Leave room beside an American Outdoor Grills built-in grill for prep surfaces, side burners, refrigeration, storage drawers and landing areas rather than buying the largest grill that will physically fit the opening. Decide the full island layout first, then choose between the 24, 30 and 36 inch AOG widths so the grill and the rest of the kitchen both work.

Which AOG grill is best for rotisserie cooking?

Any AOG L-Series model handles rotisserie, because the rear rotisserie burner is what separates the L-Series from the T-Series. For most kitchens the 36-inch L-Series is the best rotisserie choice, since the wider cabinet gives a whole bird or a roast room to turn without crowding the grates. The 24 and 30 inch L-Series carry the same rear burner.

Which AOG grill is best for everyday gas grilling?

The 36-inch T-Series is the most practical pick for everyday cooking: three burners, 50,000 BTUs and no extra features to pay for that you will not use. If your island opening is narrower, the 30-inch T-Series gives the same experience in a smaller cutout. Both are ordered as dedicated natural gas or propane models.
