Overview
The 36-inch T-Series is the self-sufficient grill in American Outdoor Grill's 2026 lineup: it lights with a Flame Thrower piezo ignition and needs no electricity or batteries, so you can install it anywhere you can run a gas line. It is the size to choose if you entertain often and want room for a main course and sides on the grates at the same time.
American Outdoor Grill (AOG) is built in City of Industry, California by R.H. Peterson Co., the company behind Fire Magic. AOG uses the same 304 stainless steel, Diamond Sear grids and engineering, with a simpler feature set and a lower price.
Cooking Performance
Heavy-duty 304 stainless steel tubular burners deliver 50,000 BTU across a 648 sq. in. cooking surface. Redesigned vaporizer panels spread the heat evenly and limit flare-ups, and the patented Diamond Sear grids sear faster with less gas. The spring-assisted hood and heavy-duty warming rack make indirect cooking easy, and an optional rotisserie kit is available.
T-Series or L-Series?
The T-Series has the same burners, grids, hood and cut-out as the L-Series, without the infrared backburner, rotisserie kit, lights and LED light bar. It needs no electrical connection and costs less. Choose the L-Series if you often grill at night or want a rotisserie with an infrared backburner.
Planning Your Installation
Cut-out: 36 3/4" W x 19 1/2" D x 8 1/2" H; counter overhang cut-out width: 40 3/4". Only a gas line is needed (natural gas or propane). For wood or composite islands, add AOG's 36-IL-C insulating liner.
Complete Your Outdoor Kitchen
AOG makes matching pieces so your outdoor kitchen looks consistent: the T-Series double side burner (two 12,500 BTU burners), access door and drawer combos, a 36-inch vent hood with a 1,000 CFM dual fan for covered patios, a 4.0 cu. ft. outdoor refrigerator with lock, and an 18-inch stainless steel griddle that sits on the grates. Optional accent color panels let you customize the control panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Natural gas or propane?
Choose the natural gas (N) or propane (P) model to match your supply. AOG states that all its grills include a gas conversion kit.
Does the T-Series need electricity?
No. The Flame Thrower piezo ignition lights the burners without electricity or batteries.
Can I use it as a freestanding grill?
Yes. The AOG 36" portable cart base (36CRT-25) turns this built-in grill into a freestanding unit with storage and fold-down shelves.
Do I need an insulating liner?
Only if your island is framed with wood, composite or another combustible material. AOG's matching liner is model 36-IL-C; masonry and block islands do not need one.
