When Fire Magic (one of the top-of-the-line products in outdoor kitchens) decided they wanted a more ‘affordable’ gas grill, they started American Outdoor Grills. Made in the same California factory as their much more expensive products, this gas grill has the quality and engineering the meet any need. Yes, it is simplified and to be honest thinner than its pricier cousins, but in this range, it is the best of the best.
While a little light on the BTUs, the American Outdoor Grill makes up for it with a highly distributed heat. The three burners are split into three tubes each (what we call E-Type burners). This means nine tubes or 18 channels of flame under the 630 square inches of heavy stainless steel rod cooking grates. The stainless steel flame-tamers help even the heat (though not perfectly). Add in the dual layer hood and efficient design and you get a basic gas grill that performs excellently. For those looking for a built-in gas grill in this price range, this really is the model to look at.
