Audiophile frame of mind

Why not look at the American Muscle Grill (AMG), now American Made Grills. I bought a store model a few years ago. This is a workhorse. It’s all stainless steel and the kicker is that it is endorsed by Sylvester Stallone, LOL. You can find deals if you look around. Since I am a car person, this grill has a Shelby GT350 brushed front panel reminiscent of the late 60s Shelby GT350. I had to have it since I have a 2016 Shelby GT350. What’s not to like. Plus, since it’s a grill island, my wife can put her outside Bluetooth speakers on the ends and we can jam out while we cook and eat. There’s your audio connection. 
 

American Muscle Grill

I had a Home Depot grill, not a Weber, but it was a workhorse. It started rusting and was bent in some areas due to various moves. One night the brother in law and I were grilling and we were not paying close attention. Both of us were soaking up some favorite alcoholic suds and saw the grill smoking and flames leaking out the right side….dang, we forgot to clean the grease pan below and it caught fire. Well, after we put out the fire, that grill had warped severely. It still worked but had a warp on the hood and would not close completely. Used that grill until I purchased my last AMG grill.

Very good observations. That was my intent in obtaining my next grill, lifelong, or as long as that grill will last. We were planning our retirement house and I conducted extensive research. In our previous house, we had a built in outdoor kitchen with a Lion grill which I opted over others, including Viking or Wolf. I did not want to invest too much in the outdoor kitchen since we were going to move sometime to our next home.
 

I was fortunate to get the AMG grill as a dealer demo since it sat on the display floor for a few years. They wanted to offload it and even offer delivery. I ordered the grill a week after my back surgery. My wife says the meds must have made me loopy because the first purchase scenario was the full list price. My wife said I was crazy and I argue that this was for life and would serve as a kitchen. When I tried to make the order, it was out of stock at the main warehouse and they stopped making the AMG during this time. I called the company and asked if they knew of any dealers that had remaining stock. Found one in Baltimore. The rest is history.
 

We feel very fortunate. It was perfect timing as the demo price was for a brand new grill, cover, gloves, two infrared burners, grill hood support, and griddle. They wanted to offload it to clear the floor. Price was less than half of list price. Pure 304 stainless steel throughout makes it a great outdoor grill. 
 

I just added a Breo 32 smokeless fire pit with all of the grill accessories.
