American Outdoor Grill - AOG

American Outdoor Grill, AOG, delivers commercial-quality performance at a price point that makes premium outdoor cooking accessible. Manufactured in the USA by RH Peterson (Fire Magic), AOG grills combine 304 stainless steel construction, lifetime-warranted burners, and proven engineering with straightforward value pricing.

Why Choose American Outdoor Grill?

AOG is in a unique position in the outdoor grill market. Manufactured using commercial-grade construction and materials at a mid-tier price point. While big-box retailers fill their floors with imported grills using inferior materials and limited support, AOG gives you American-made quality you can service and repair for decades.

Built Like Commercial Equipment

Every AOG grill uses 304 stainless steel throughout the firebox, burners, cooking grids, and structural components. This is commercial-grade stainless steel, the same materials used in high-end outdoor grills costing $4,000 or more. Many imported grills use lower quality stainless where heat and moisture accelerate corrosion.

AOG's U-shaped stainless steel burners are covered by a lifetime warranty. These burners are fabricated from heavy-gauge 304 stainless and port-drilled for even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface. The burner design ensures consistent performance year after year.

Diamond Sear Cooking Grids

AOG grills feature Diamond Sear stainless steel cooking grids—a unique rod grid pattern that provides significantly more metal-to-food contact than standard round rods. The increased surface contact delivers superior heat transfer and bold, professional sear marks on steaks, chops, and vegetables. These heavy-duty stainless steel grids are built to last and are designed for easy replacement if needed after years of heavy use.

Parts Availability

One of the biggest hidden costs of buying an imported grill from an unknown manufacturer is parts availability. When a burner fails in year five, or a control valve sticks in year eight, you often discover replacement parts don't exist or the company has disappeared.

Industry-Leading Warranty Coverage

• Lifetime warranty on stainless steel burners
• 10-year warranty on all other components (excluding ignition systems and vaporizer panels)

This warranty is among the best in the industry and reflects the quality of materials and manufacturing behind every AOG grill.

Available in 24", 30" and 36" sizes as built-in and portable models. American Outdoor Grills come fully assembled and are proudly manufactured in the USA by the Robert H. Peterson Company, with over 65 years of barbecue experience.

How does AOG compare to Fire Magic grills?

AOG and Fire Magic grills are built by the same company. The primary difference is AOG is an entry level grill and Fire Magis is a luxury premium grill.

Fire Magic grills include features like hot surface ignition (rather than piezo or electric button),advanced hood thermometers, premium control knob designs, and more refined exterior finishing. Fire Magic also offers unique features like their E-burner design.

AOG grills simplify the feature set—analog thermometers, straightforward ignition systems, and clean but less ornate exterior design—allowing the same structural quality and cooking performance at a significantly lower price.

If you want maximum features, advanced electronics, and the most refined aesthetics, Fire Magic is the choice. If you want the same core cooking performance and build quality with fewer electronic features at a better value, AOG delivers.
