The quick answer
American Made Grills is builds under R.H . Made in Rocklin, California, USA.
Who is American Made Grills?
American Made Grills builds under R.H. Peterson Co. — the same California foundry behind American Outdoor Grill and Fire Magic — but targets the premium end of the lineup with heavier-gauge 304 stainless and the longer warranty terms Peterson reserves for its flagship brand.
The 2026 lineup spans the Atlas workhorse built-ins (30" / 36" / 42"), the stripped-down Encore series for cost-conscious outdoor-kitchen builds, and the Muscle freestanding carts for shoppers who don't need a masonry cutout. Every head is TIG-welded, every grate is 304 stainless, and every burner is covered by the lifetime burner warranty.

What American Made Grills prioritizes

Firebox, cart, hood, grates, flavor grids — AMG runs 304-grade across every component where cheaper lines mix in 430. Material pays for itself in coastal + freeze-thaw climates.
Lifetime burner warranty
Burners are covered for life on every current AMG head. Grates get a 15-year warranty. R.H. Peterson's authorized-dealer service network honors parts without an invoice fight.
