American Outdoor Grill AOG24-GA Accessible Post
A Permanent Outdoor Grilling Station Built for Every Cook — Including Those Who Need It Most The AOG24-GA sets your 24-inch AOG built-in grill at an ADA-compliant 32-inch accessible height, cemented permanently into the ground, with a built-in 1-hour safety timer, rigid side shelves, and a hood side handle — so grilling is comfortable, safe, and fully accessible for users of all abilities. The American Outdoor Grill 24-Inch Accessible In-Ground Post Base (model AOG24-GA) is a purpose-built permanent mounting solution that converts any AOG 24-inch L-Series or T-Series built-in grill head into an accessible outdoor cooking station. Constructed from commercial-grade 304 stainless steel and made in the USA, it positions the grill at a 32-inch shelf height — a lower accessible working level compared to the standard 37-inch post — while adding the safety and convenience features that accessible grilling demands: an integrated 1-hour automatic gas shutoff timer, a hood side handle for easier lid operation, and rigid fixed side shelves for stable prep space. Installation requires cementing the post permanently into the ground, creating a rock-solid, enduring station that becomes a true fixture of your outdoor space.

The AOG24-GA is purpose-engineered for accessible grilling — every feature, from the working height to the hood handle to the safety timer, exists to make outdoor cooking safe, comfortable, and fully usable for a wider range of cooks. ← Swipe to see all features → 32" ADA-Compliant Accessible Shelf Height At 32 inches from ground to grill shelf — 5 inches lower than the standard in-ground post — this base positions the grill at a comfortable, accessible working height for seated and standing users of all abilities. 1-Hour Integrated Automatic Gas Shutoff Timer The built-in 1-hour automatic gas shutoff timer is mounted directly on the post. It cuts gas flow after one hour, reducing the risk of unattended operation and giving every cook — and every family member — a reliable safety net. Hood Handle Included Hood Side Handle for Easier Lid Operation The AOG24-GA ships with a hood side handle that mounts to the grill lid, making it easier to open and close from a lower or side approach — a key accessibility feature not included on the standard in-ground post base. Rigid Shelves Fixed Stainless Steel Side Shelves Rigid, fixed side shelves — rather than fold-down — provide stable prep space that stays in position, giving users a reliable surface to set tools, plates, or trays without the shelf shifting or folding unexpectedly. 304 SS Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel, Made in the USA 304 stainless steel construction throughout — the same commercial-grade alloy used in professional kitchens — resists rust, corrosion, and the elements for a permanent installation that holds up for decades without degrading.

That permanence is also its strength: once set, this post delivers a rock-solid, vibration-free cooking platform that won't shift, tip, or wobble under heavy use. It becomes part of the landscape, a built-in grilling station that integrates with the outdoor environment as naturally as a garden wall or a fire feature. For properties where an island isn't practical but a permanent grill location is, the in-ground post is often the cleanest, most durable solution available. Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take ► The Deck & Den Take — The AOG24-GA addresses something most grill bases don't: that outdoor cooking should be accessible to everyone. The 32-inch height, the side hood handle, the rigid shelves, and the automatic shutoff timer make this a meaningfully different product from the standard in-ground post — not a cosmetic variation. If you're specifying a grill station for a household member who uses a wheelchair or has limited reach, or if you're designing a commercial or institutional outdoor cooking space with ADA requirements, this is the post base to choose. One important note before ordering: this is a permanent cement installation. Confirm the installation location carefully before the post goes in, and order your gas connection hose at the same time — LP hose #5110-07 for propane or NG hose #5110-03 for natural gas. The grill head is also sold separately. Wheelchair users and those with limited mobility who want a purpose-built accessible outdoor grill station at a comfortable 32-inch working height. Households with diverse physical needs where multiple users of different abilities share the grill — the lower height and side hood handle make the station usable for a wider range of cooks. Families with safety-first priorities who want the peace of mind that comes with an integrated automatic gas shutoff timer, particularly for households grilling without constant supervision. ADA-compliant outdoor spaces — parks, community centers, apartment complexes, hotels, and hospitality properties that require accessible grilling solutions meeting ADA guidelines. Homeowners wanting a permanent, space-efficient grill station in a yard or patio where an island isn't practical and where a compact but fully built-in solution is preferred over a portable cart. AOG 24-inch grill owners looking to give their L-Series or T-Series built-in a permanent outdoor home at an accessible height.

Frequently Asked Questions ► What AOG grills are compatible with the AOG24-GA post base?► The AOG24-GA is designed specifically for AOG 24-inch built-in grills — both the L-Series (AOG24LN/P) and the T-Series (AOG24TN/P). It is not compatible with AOG 30-inch or 36-inch grills, or grills from other manufacturers. What is the difference between the AOG24-GA and the standard AOG24-GP in-ground post base?► The AOG24-GA is the accessible model, designed to meet ADA guidelines. It has a 32-inch shelf height (versus 37 inches on the standard AOG24-GP), rigid fixed side shelves instead of fold-down shelves, and includes a hood side handle for easier lid operation. Both models include an integrated 1-hour gas shutoff timer and require the same cement in-ground installation. Choose the AOG24-GA when accessibility or a lower working height is the priority; choose the AOG24-GP for a standard standing-height station. Is this post base truly ADA-compliant?► American Outdoor Grill describes the AOG24-GA as an ADA-compliant design, and it is marketed as such by BBQGuys and other authorized retailers. The 32-inch shelf height, rigid prep shelves, and included hood side handle are all features consistent with accessible design principles. For formal ADA compliance in a commercial or public installation, consult your local codes and an accessibility professional, as specific ADA requirements can vary by jurisdiction and application. What does the 1-hour gas shutoff timer do?► The integrated 1-hour automatic gas shutoff timer is mounted directly on the post. It automatically cuts gas flow to the grill after one hour of operation, reducing the risk of the grill being left on unattended. You can set it when you begin cooking, and it provides a reliable safety stop — particularly useful in accessible or shared-use settings where users may have difficulty monitoring the grill continuously. What is the hood side handle and why is it included?► The hood side handle mounts to the side of the grill lid and gives users an alternate grip point for opening and closing the hood — particularly useful for seated users or those who find a side approach more natural than reaching over the front of the grill. It is included with the AOG24-GA and is not standard on the AOG24-GP. Does this post base require professional installation?► AOG requires the post to be cemented securely into the ground for stability. This is a permanent installation — the post cannot be relocated once set. The complexity of the cement work, gas line connection, and local permit requirements (which vary by jurisdiction) means most buyers benefit from professional installation. We recommend engaging a licensed contractor and confirming local gas and building code requirements before installation begins. Is the installation truly permanent? Can I move it later?► Yes — this is a permanent, cemented in-ground installation. Unlike the portable cart bases or a patio post base, the in-ground post cannot be moved once concrete is set. Choose the installation location carefully before committing. If portability matters or if you may need to relocate the grill, consider the AOG 24-inch portable cart base (24CRT-25) instead. Does the grill come included with this post base?► No. The AOG24-GA is a post base only — the grill head (24-inch L-Series or T-Series, in propane or natural gas configuration) is sold separately. You can purchase the post base alone and add the grill head you prefer, or look for a bundle that includes both. Does the gas connection hose come included?► No — the gas connection hose is sold separately. For liquid propane, use AOG hose #5110-07. For natural gas, use the AOG quick-disconnect hose #5110-03 (10 ft). Order the appropriate hose at the same time as the post base to ensure you have everything ready for installation. What are the overall dimensions of the installed post base?► Once installed, the AOG24-GA positions the grill shelf at 32 inches above ground level. The total width including side shelves is 52⅞ inches, and the depth is 21¼ inches. The above-ground post section is 16½ inches, with a 5½-inch diameter post tube. All dimensions are from the AOG Post Base installation manual. How much does the AOG24-GA weigh?► The post base weighs 117 lbs (53.1 kg) before the addition of a grill head. Plan accordingly for delivery, staging, and installation — professional handling equipment is typically needed for placement and setting. Does this post base work with both propane and natural gas?► Yes — the post base itself is fuel-neutral. The fuel type is determined by the grill head you mount and the connection hose you use. For a natural gas installation, you will need a licensed plumber or gas professional to connect the post to your gas line. For propane, a suitable LP hose (AOG #5110-07) connects your tank to the grill. Can I return the post base after I've installed it?► Deck & Den offers a 45-day return policy, but once the post base is cemented into the ground, it cannot be returned. Review all specifications, clearance requirements, and local permit requirements thoroughly before installation. If you have questions about fit or suitability, contact us before committing to the install. What clearances are required around the installed grill station?► Clearance requirements are determined by the specific AOG grill head mounted on the post, not by the post base alone. Refer to the owner's manual for your L-Series or T-Series grill for required distances from combustible surfaces, structures, and overhead elements. Always follow all applicable local building and gas codes. The AOG Post User Manual also includes installation clearance guidance. What is the warranty on the AOG24-GA post base?► American Outdoor Grill warrants stainless steel housings for the life of the original purchaser. Valves, controls, manifolds, and vent hood housings are covered for 10 years. Ignition systems (excluding batteries), electronic components, and accessories carry a 2-year warranty. Labor is not included. This warranty is honored directly by AOG — not by Deck & Den. How do I maintain the stainless steel finish on the post base?► Wipe down with a mild stainless steel cleaner or warm soapy water, moving with the grain of the steel to prevent fine scratching. Avoid abrasive pads and chloride-based cleaners. A stainless steel polish applied periodically helps preserve the satin finish and resist surface staining, particularly in coastal or humid environments. Is this post base suitable for commercial or institutional use?► Yes — the AOG24-GA's ADA-compliant design, commercial-grade 304 stainless steel construction, integrated safety timer, and permanent cement installation make it well-suited for parks, apartment complexes, hotels, schools, fire stations, and other institutional settings. Note that AOG's commercial/multi-user warranty terms differ from residential terms — refer to the AOG Post User Manual for the applicable commercial warranty coverage.
