FAQ
Installing AOG Grills: Setup & Outdoor Kitchen Integration
Proper installation is key to getting the best performance and safety from your AOG Grill, whether you’re building a full outdoor kitchen island or choosing a freestanding setup. American Outdoor Grill models are designed for both built-in and cart-style applications, giving you flexibility for any backyard layout. In this section, we’ll cover common installation questions to help you plan your ideal outdoor cooking space.
Yes, you must use an insulated jacket if your outdoor kitchen island is built with combustible materials such as wood or certain types of siding. The insulated liner prevents heat from damaging the island and reduces fire risk.
Yes, most freestanding AOG Grills come with stainless steel side shelves that can be folded down for storage and transport. These shelves provide extra prep space and support for optional side burners.
Absolutely. AOG Grills are designed to be easy to use for beginners while offering performance features—like rotisserie kits, backburners, and optional side burners—that appeal to experienced outdoor chefs.
Yes, AOG Grills come in two main series:
The T-Series uses a piezo ignition system and doesn’t require electricity—ideal for simpler setups without wiring.
The L-Series includes electronic ignition, back-lit knobs, and interior lights, which require a 120V power source—better suited for islands with electrical access.

AOG Grill Maintenance: Caring for Your Grill, Cleaning & Longevity
Keeping your grill clean and well-maintained is key to preserving its performance, appearance, and lifespan. With proper care, your AOG grill will continue to deliver excellent cooking results and stay looking great for years to come. Here are some of the most common maintenance and cleaning questions to help you get the most out of your outdoor cooking setup.
To keep your stainless steel grill looking its best, start by brushing the grates after a quick burn-off, then wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth and non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner—always working with the grain. Regular cleaning helps prevent water spots, discoloration, and rust. Avoid harsh chemicals, wire brushes, or steel wool, as these can damage the finish.
For step-by-step instructions, read our complete Stainless Steel Grill Cleaning Guide.
It’s recommended to brush the cooking grates after each use to remove food residue and prevent buildup. Every few weeks or after heavy use, do a deeper cleaning by removing the grates and vaporizer panels and clearing any grease or debris from the burners and firebox. Keeping the interior clean helps maintain even heating and reduces flare-ups.
Yes, using a fitted grill cover is highly recommended to protect your grill from rain, dust, and UV damage. AOG offers custom covers for both built-in and freestanding models to help preserve the finish and keep the interior clean between uses. Covers also help reduce the risk of corrosion over time.
Even though AOG grills are made from 304 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust, regular maintenance is still essential. Wipe down the grill after rain or high humidity, keep it covered when not in use, and clean off any grease or food particles that can trap moisture. Applying a light coat of stainless steel polish can add an extra layer of protection.
Yes, seasoning your cooking grates is a simple way to protect the metal and enhance food release. To season, lightly coat the grates with a high-heat cooking oil (such as canola or grapeseed) and heat the grill for 15–20 minutes. This process helps build up a non-stick layer while adding an extra level of protection against rust and corrosion. Re-seasoning periodically, especially after deep cleanings, keeps the grates performing at their best.
FAQ
Troubleshooting & Performance Tips for AOG Grills
Even with proper maintenance, every grill can occasionally experience minor performance issues. Understanding how to troubleshoot common problems will help you keep your AOG grill running smoothly and ensure consistent cooking results. In this section, we’ll cover the most frequent performance concerns along with simple maintenance tips that can help extend the life of your grill.
If your grill won’t ignite, first check that the gas supply is turned on and that the propane tank isn’t empty. For T-Series models, ensure the Rapid-Light piezo ignition is clicking properly. For L-Series models, verify the 120V power source is connected since electronic ignition relies on electricity. Also inspect the burners for blockages, ensure the ignition electrodes are clean, and make sure the control knobs are set correctly.
Uneven heat or low temperatures can be caused by clogged burners, dirty vaporizer panels, or debris obstructing airflow. Clean the burners, vaporizer panels, and cooking grates regularly. Also check the gas supply and, for propane users, watch for frost buildup on the tank, which can restrict gas flow. Ensuring clear burner ports and proper ventilation will help restore even heating.
Low flame is often due to the propane tank’s safety regulator (OPD) tripping. To reset:
Turn off the burners and propane tank.
Wait one minute.
Slowly reopen the tank valve and relight the grill.
If the issue persists, inspect for gas leaks, hose blockages, or a faulty regulator. For natural gas grills, low supply pressure may require professional inspection.
Yes, cleaning the burner ports is essential for maintaining consistent flame patterns and preventing uneven heating. Check the burners every couple of months or sooner if you grill frequently. Use a soft brush or paperclip to gently clear any clogged ports. Keeping burners clean ensures reliable ignition and optimal cooking performance.
Consistent maintenance keeps your grill running smoothly. Key tips include:
Cleaning the burners, grates, and vaporizer panels regularly
Using a grill cover to protect against the elements
Applying stainless steel polish to maintain the exterior
Replacing ignition system batteries or parts when needed
By following these steps, your grill will deliver excellent performance for many seasons.
