With American Made Grills, you gain the tools and accessories that make your outdoor gas grill island the centerpiece of family gatherings, weekend feasts, and evenings under the stars. Proudly handcrafted in the USA, our grills and components turn your backyard into a place where flavor has no limits.
A Gathering Place That Brings People Together
An outdoor kitchen is more than a structure—it’s a stage for connection. The grill island becomes the anchor where friends stop to chat, kids grab a snack, and everyone shares in the joy of food made outside.
American Made Grills are designed with this purpose in mind:
- Stainless steel construction withstands the elements.
- Thoughtful layouts provide both workspace and seating.
- Accessories create flexibility, from morning breakfasts to late-night barbecues.
We make the grills to gather around, so your space becomes a natural extension of your home.
Layout Options That Fit Your Life
Every backyard is different, but the principles of good design remain the same. Choosing the proper layout ensures the island supports how you cook and host.
- Linear island: Clean and compact, great for smaller patios or streamlined setups.
- L-shape island: Adds room for prep and separates cooking from serving.
- U-shape island: The entertainer’s choice, wrapping guests into the action with space for seating and multiple appliances.
American Made Grills offers flexibility across these formats, helping you match design with function so your outdoor kitchen feels effortless to use.
Grills Made for Every Cooking Personality
The centerpiece of any island is the grill, and each of our series highlights a different side of the cooking experience:
-
Atlas Series: Sleek and efficient, perfect for smaller patios without sacrificing performance.

Pairing your island with the right series gives you confidence every time you cook, whether for two people or twenty.
Outdoor Gas Grill Island Safety Made Simple
Every island should combine style with peace of mind. That starts with proper ventilation, clearances, and accessories that keep cooking safe.
- Ventilation: Built-in vents release any trapped gas and keep airflow steady.
- Vent hoods: An outdoor-rated hood helps move smoke and heat away from covered patios.
- Clearances: Following standard spacing ensures appliances remain safe from combustible surfaces.
American Made Grills offers vent hoods and accessories engineered to meet these needs, so safety feels seamless.
Durable Materials for Every Season
Outdoor kitchens live under the sun, rain, and wind. That's why material choice matters. With American Made Grills, durability comes standard:
- 304 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion.
- Weather-sealed cabinetry protects contents.
- Finishes hold up against changing climates.
These details aren’t extras—they’re part of the foundation that ensures your investment stays beautiful and functional for years.

FAQs for Outdoor Kitchen Planning
Do I need a vent hood under a covered patio?
Yes—an outdoor-rated vent hood ensures proper airflow and comfort. Always confirm with local code requirements.
How big should my island be?
Linear designs often start around 6–8 feet for a 30–36″ grill, with extra space added for seating or refrigeration.
Should I choose natural gas or propane?
Both work well for grill islands. Natural gas offers a continuous supply, while propane provides flexibility if a permanent line isn't available. Gas is generally preferred for permanent installs since it allows for steady fuel without swapping tanks. Always plan for shutoff access and ensure proper connections.
How far should the island be from walls or structures?
Follow manufacturer clearances and confirm with local building codes for safe installation.
