AOG Grills & Outdoor Kitchen Appliances
American Outdoor Grill - Premium Quality at Honest Prices
American Outdoor Grill (AOG) has earned its reputation as one of the best values in premium outdoor cooking. Manufactured in the USA with the same quality standards and materials as luxury grill brands, AOG delivers professional-grade performance at prices that make premium outdoor cooking accessible to more homeowners. At GrillHavenHQ, we're proud authorized dealers of the complete AOG lineup, offering free nationwide shipping on every grill and outdoor kitchen component.
The AOG Philosophy: No-Nonsense Quality
What sets AOG apart is their straightforward approach to premium grilling. While some brands invest heavily in marketing gimmicks and unnecessary features that inflate prices, AOG focuses on what matters: quality materials, proven engineering, and reliable performance. Every AOG grill features commercial-grade 304 stainless steel construction throughout, professional-quality burners, and time-tested designs that deliver consistent results year after year.
AOG grills are manufactured by RH Peterson, the same company that produces Fire Magic grills. This means AOG benefits from decades of engineering expertise and manufacturing excellence, with many components sharing the same quality standards as Fire Magic's luxury line. The difference is that AOG strips away premium features some cooks don't need, focusing on core grilling performance at a more accessible price point.
AOG Product Lines
AOG L-Series Grills
The L-Series represents AOG's core lineup of premium gas grills, available in sizes from 24 to 36 inches. These workhorse grills feature heavy-duty stainless steel burners, solid stainless steel cooking grids, and commercial-grade construction throughout. The L-Series includes both built-in models for custom outdoor kitchen integration and portable cart models for freestanding installation. With cooking surfaces ranging from 432 to 648 square inches, L-Series grills handle everything from intimate dinners to large gatherings with professional-level performance.
AOG T-Series Grills
The T-Series elevates AOG's proven design with enhanced features and premium components. These top-tier grills include backlit control knobs for nighttime grilling, infrared burners for intense searing heat, and rotisserie systems for versatile cooking options. T-Series models feature heavier construction, larger cooking surfaces, and additional refinements that appeal to serious outdoor chefs who want maximum capability. Despite these premium features, T-Series grills remain competitively priced compared to similar offerings from luxury brands.
AOG Portable Grills
For tailgating, camping, or flexible outdoor cooking, AOG offers portable grills that don't compromise on quality. These compact units feature the same stainless steel construction and reliable burners as full-size models, just in travel-friendly configurations. AOG portable grills deliver authentic outdoor cooking performance anywhere you need it, with fold-down side shelves and durable construction built for years of mobile service.
Built-In vs. Freestanding Models
AOG offers both built-in grill heads designed for custom outdoor kitchens and complete cart assemblies for freestanding installation. Built-in models integrate seamlessly into masonry or modular outdoor kitchen islands, creating permanent, professional cooking stations. These drop-in grill heads mount into your island structure with precise cutout dimensions provided for perfect fit and professional appearance.
Freestanding cart models combine premium AOG grill heads with heavy-duty stainless steel carts featuring storage shelves, side shelves, and heavy-duty casters for mobility. These complete units are perfect for renters, those wanting flexibility in outdoor space arrangement, or anyone not ready to commit to permanent built-in installation. Many AOG carts include additional features like enclosed storage cabinets and integrated tool hooks.
Similar to options from Blaze and Fire Magic, choosing between built-in and cart models depends on your outdoor kitchen plans and lifestyle needs. Built-in models create the most polished, integrated look, while cart models offer versatility and portability without sacrificing grilling performance.
Key Features and Innovations
All 304 Stainless Steel Construction
Every AOG grill uses premium 304 stainless steel throughout—cooking grids, burners, housing, control panel, and internal components. This marine-grade material resists rust and corrosion even in harsh coastal environments, ensuring your grill looks and performs like new for decades. The heavy-gauge construction provides structural integrity that lighter materials cannot match.
Commercial-Grade Burners
AOG features heavy-duty stainless steel burners designed for extreme durability and consistent performance. The robust construction ensures even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface while resisting warping and corrosion. These commercial-quality burners are the heart of AOG's reliable performance, delivering the consistent heat needed for professional results.
Solid Rod Cooking Grids
Unlike stamped or welded cooking grates that can warp and deteriorate, AOG uses solid stainless steel rod cooking grids. These heavy-duty grates retain heat beautifully for perfect sear marks and even cooking. The solid construction withstands years of high-heat cooking without warping, ensuring consistent performance throughout the grill's lifetime.
Electronic Ignition
AOG grills feature reliable electronic ignition systems that light burners instantly without matches or hassle. The battery-powered ignition provides consistent, dependable starts in any weather, getting you from cold grill to cooking temperature in minutes.
Integrated Rotisserie System
Select AOG models include integrated rotisserie burners and mounting systems for slow-rotating cooking that delivers restaurant-quality results. The rear infrared rotisserie burner provides consistent heat while food rotates, ensuring even cooking and self-basting that keeps meats incredibly juicy. Perfect for whole chickens, prime rib, leg of lamb, and more.
Infrared Searing Zone
Premium AOG T-Series models feature dedicated infrared searing burners that reach extreme temperatures for steakhouse-quality searing. These specialized burners use radiant heat to create perfect crust and professional grill marks while sealing in juices. The infrared technology uses less fuel than conventional burners while delivering superior results.
Complete Outdoor Kitchen Solutions
AOG offers a comprehensive range of outdoor kitchen components to create complete outdoor cooking and entertaining spaces:
Outdoor Storage
AOG's full line of access doors, drawer units, and storage cabinets feature the same premium stainless steel construction as their grills. These weather-resistant components provide organized storage for grilling tools, propane tanks, and outdoor entertaining essentials. Mix and match components to create exactly the storage configuration your outdoor kitchen needs.
Side Burners
AOG side burners deliver commercial-grade cooking power for sauces, sides, and multi-course meal preparation. These stainless steel burners feature the same quality construction as AOG grills, providing reliable performance for years of outdoor cooking. Single and double side burner configurations accommodate different cooking needs and island layouts.
Specialty Items
Complete your outdoor kitchen with AOG warming drawers, outdoor sinks, paper towel holders, and utility items. Each component features stainless steel construction designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining the premium aesthetic of your outdoor living space.
When building a complete outdoor kitchen, many homeowners combine AOG grills with components from our Fire Magic or Blaze collections, creating custom configurations that perfectly match their cooking style and entertainment needs. Check out our complete selection for inspiration and options.
AOG vs. Competition
AOG vs. Fire Magic
Both brands are manufactured by RH Peterson, ensuring similar quality standards and engineering excellence. Fire Magic represents the luxury tier with lifetime warranties, premium features, and maximum refinement. AOG delivers 90% of Fire Magic's performance at 50-60% of the cost by focusing on core grilling capabilities. For value-conscious buyers who still demand professional quality, AOG offers exceptional performance without luxury pricing.
AOG vs. Blaze
Blaze grills and AOG occupy similar market positions, both offering premium quality at competitive prices. AOG benefits from RH Peterson's manufacturing expertise and shares engineering DNA with Fire Magic. Blaze offers slightly more modern styling and features in some models. Both represent excellent value in premium grilling—the choice often comes down to specific features and aesthetic preferences.
AOG vs. Weber
While Weber dominates the consumer grill market with solid mid-range products, AOG operates in a different category entirely. AOG features all stainless steel construction versus Weber's porcelain-coated steel and cast iron components. AOG burners are commercial-grade stainless steel compared to Weber's stainless tubes. The result is dramatically superior longevity and performance, especially in demanding outdoor environments. If you're serious about outdoor cooking and want a grill that lasts decades, AOG's modest price premium over high-end Weber models delivers vastly better long-term value.
AOG vs. Lynx
Lynx grills command premium prices with advanced features and luxury marketing. AOG matches Lynx in fundamental construction quality and cooking performance while costing significantly less. Unless you require specific Lynx innovations or want the luxury brand prestige, AOG delivers comparable grilling results at better value. Many professional chefs and serious home cooks choose AOG over luxury brands because they recognize that quality materials and proven engineering matter more than marketing hype.
Fuel Options: Natural Gas vs. Propane
Most AOG grills are available in both natural gas and liquid propane (LP) configurations, allowing you to choose the fuel type that best fits your situation:
Natural Gas Models connect to your home's gas line for unlimited fuel supply without tank changes. Natural gas offers convenience for frequent grillers and eliminates the need to monitor propane levels or arrange refills. Installation requires professional gas line extension to your outdoor kitchen location, but the long-term convenience justifies the initial setup cost for most homeowners.
Propane Models offer installation flexibility anywhere and easy fuel management with standard 20-pound propane tanks. LP models are ideal for locations without natural gas service, temporary installations, or situations where running gas lines isn't practical. Modern propane grills are highly efficient, with a single tank providing many hours of cooking time.
Choosing Your AOG Grill
Selecting the perfect AOG grill depends on your cooking needs, available space, and desired features:
Size Considerations
AOG offers grills from 24 inches (perfect for smaller patios or as secondary grills) up to 36 inches (ideal for serious entertainers). The 30-32 inch range represents the sweet spot for most families, providing 500-600 square inches of cooking space—enough for multiple dishes simultaneously without overwhelming smaller outdoor areas.
Feature Selection
Decide which features enhance your cooking style. If you frequently cook whole chickens, prime rib, or other rotisserie items, models with integrated rotisserie systems add significant value. Infrared searing zones deliver steakhouse-quality results on premium cuts. Side burners expand cooking capacity for multi-course meals. The L-Series focuses on core grilling performance, while T-Series models include advanced features for dedicated outdoor chefs.
Installation Type
Consider your long-term plans when choosing between built-in and cart models. If you might move or want to rearrange your outdoor space, cart models provide more flexibility. If building a permanent outdoor kitchen, built-in models integrate seamlessly into your design and create the most polished appearance.
Budget
AOG's efficient approach to premium grilling means you get professional-quality construction and performance at prices significantly below luxury brands. Even the top-tier T-Series models cost less than entry-level offerings from some luxury manufacturers while delivering comparable or superior cooking results.
Installation and Setup
AOG grills are designed for straightforward installation, though professional help is recommended for gas line connections and built-in installations. Cart models arrive mostly assembled, requiring only minor setup like attaching side shelves and connecting gas supply. Built-in models require proper island construction with adequate ventilation and clearances per manufacturer specifications.
Always have licensed professionals handle natural gas line installation for safety and compliance with local building codes. AOG provides detailed installation manuals with each grill, and our team at GrillHavenHQ offers technical support throughout your setup process. Whether you're integrating an AOG grill into a complete outdoor kitchen with Fire Magic accessories or installing a standalone cart model, we're here to help ensure proper setup.
Maintenance and Longevity
AOG grills require minimal maintenance to deliver decades of reliable performance. The all-stainless construction means no rust, no peeling porcelain coating, and no deteriorating cast iron components. Regular cleaning of cooking grids and burners keeps your grill operating at peak efficiency. The stainless steel exterior maintains its appearance with occasional cleaning using stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth.
Annual maintenance should include inspecting burners for proper function, cleaning the drip tray, checking all gas connections for safety, and verifying ignition system operation. AOG's quality construction means fewer repairs and less maintenance compared to lower-quality grills that require frequent part replacements. Many AOG owners report 15-20+ years of reliable service with minimal maintenance—a testament to the brand's focus on durable, proven engineering.
Warranty and Support
AOG backs their products with comprehensive warranties that demonstrate confidence in quality and durability. Specific warranty terms vary by model and component, covering burners, cooking grids, and structural elements for multiple years. As an authorized AOG dealer, GrillHavenHQ provides full manufacturer warranty support and access to genuine AOG replacement parts should you ever need them.
The reality is that most AOG owners rarely need warranty service. The commercial-grade construction and proven designs minimize failures and maintenance issues. When parts do eventually need replacement after years of service, genuine AOG components are readily available through authorized dealers like GrillHavenHQ.
Real-World Performance
AOG grills excel at the cooking applications that matter most to outdoor chefs:
High-Heat Searing
AOG's commercial-grade burners and solid cooking grids deliver restaurant-quality searing. Preheat your grill to 600-700°F and achieve perfect caramelization on steaks, chops, and seafood. The heavy stainless grids retain heat beautifully, creating professional grill marks and delicious crust while keeping interiors perfectly cooked.
Even Heat Distribution
The quality burner design ensures consistent heat across the entire cooking surface, eliminating frustrating hot spots. This even distribution means everything cooks properly regardless of position on the grill, allowing you to manage multiple items at different cooking stages simultaneously.
Temperature Control
Precision control valves provide infinite adjustment from low simmer to high-heat searing. Maintain steady 225°F for slow-cooking or crank up to 700°F+ for intense searing—all with smooth, precise control that gives you complete command over your cooking.
Reliability
AOG grills start reliably every time, maintain consistent temperatures, and deliver predictable results cook after cook. This reliability might not be flashy, but it's what separates professional-grade equipment from consumer products that frustrate with inconsistent performance.
Building Your Complete Outdoor Kitchen
AOG components integrate beautifully into complete outdoor kitchens, whether you're building an all-AOG setup or combining with other premium brands. Many outdoor kitchen designs pair an AOG grill with:
-
Primo Ceramic Grill for smoking and low-temperature cooking
-
Blaze or Fire Magic refrigeration for convenience
- AOG side burners, storage, and accessories for complete functionality
-
Amantii electric fireplaces for year-round ambiance
