American Outdoor Grill 30-Inch Portable Cart
The Right-Sized AOG Station — Take Your 30-Inch Built-In Anywhere the Patio Takes You The 30CRT-25 converts any 30-inch AOG L-Series or T-Series built-in into a freestanding, roll-anywhere cooking station — complete storage, fold-out prep shelves, and commercial-grade 304 stainless steel from top to bottom. The American Outdoor Grill 30-Inch Portable Cart Base (model 30CRT-25) is the dedicated freestanding solution for AOG's 30-inch built-in grill heads. Built from commercial-grade 304 stainless steel and proudly made in the USA, it gives your L-Series or T-Series 30-inch built-in a permanent home on the patio — no outdoor kitchen island, no concrete, no installation crew required. Twin fold-down side shelves expand your workspace when you need it and tuck away when you don't. Dual access doors open to a roomy storage bay for tools, accessories, and essentials. An integrated tank ring holder keeps your LP cylinder secured inside the cabinet, and caster wheels let you roll the whole station wherever the action is. If you own a 30-inch AOG built-in, this cart completes the setup. Free Shipping 45-Day Returns Price Match Available Made in the USA Commercial-Grade 304 SS Why the 30CRT-25 Is the Right Foundation for Your AOG A purpose-built cart designed specifically for AOG's 30-inch grill heads — not a generic stand. The fit, the finish, and the build quality all match your grill. L & T Universal Fit for Both AOG 30-Inch Series Engineered to accept any AOG 30-inch built-in — L-Series or T-Series — so you can pair the cart now and upgrade your grill head later without swapping the base. 304 SS Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel Throughout Full 304 stainless steel construction — the same alloy used in professional kitchens — resists rust, salt air, and heat cycles through years of outdoor use without fading or corroding. 64⅛" Full Prep Width When You Need It Twin fold-down side shelves open the station to over 64 inches wide — enough room for a cutting board, platters, and your full kit — then fold flat when the cooking is done and you need the space back. Tank Ring Integrated Propane Tank Holder The built-in tank ring holder secures your LP cylinder inside the cabinet — no separate tank stand, no tip hazard, no loose cylinder rolling around the patio. Roll It Caster Wheels for Real Portability Heavy-duty casters let you roll the entire setup — grill and all — to wherever you want to cook, then lock it in position. No island, no permanent installation, no limits on where the party happens. What's Included in the Box ► 30CRT-25 Cart Base 304 stainless steel cart body with caster wheels Dual access doors (storage cabinet) Fold-down twin side shelves (2) Tank ring holder (propane tank support) Hardware for side shelf assembly Sold Separately — Required AOG 30-inch L-Series or T-Series built-in grill head LP gas connection hose — AOG #5110-07 (liquid propane) NG quick disconnect hose — AOG #5110-03 (natural gas, 10 ft) Optional Accessories Accent Black Door Panels (sold separately) Accent White Door Panels (sold separately) Deep Dive — AOG 30CRT-25 Cart Base ► Storage That Keeps the Patio Clean The dual access doors open onto a generous interior storage bay — the right place for grilling tools, a rotisserie kit, a bag of wood chips, or a spare burner cover. The propane cylinder lives secured in the tank ring holder inside the cabinet, out of sight and safely upright. When cooking is done, everything goes behind the stainless doors and the patio stays clean. No side table, no tool hooks, no gear scattered across the deck. Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take ► The Deck & Den Take — The 30-inch cart hits the sweet spot for most patios and two-to-four-person households — enough station to cook a full meal, compact enough not to dominate a smaller deck. If you're choosing between the 24-inch and 30-inch AOG setup, the 30-inch cart gives you meaningfully more prep width (64 inches fully open vs. 58 inches) and accommodates the larger 30-inch grill head that most cooks eventually wish they had. One thing to handle before the first cook: order your gas connection hose at the same time — LP hose #5110-07 for propane, or NG hose #5110-03 for natural gas — since neither is included and you'll want it in hand the day the cart arrives. AOG 30-inch built-in grill owners who want to use their grill head as a freestanding unit rather than committing to a permanent outdoor kitchen island. Mid-size patio owners who need a full-featured grill station that doesn't overwhelm the space — the 30CRT-25 is the right scale for decks and patios where a 36-inch setup would crowd everything else out. Renters and frequent movers who want a premium US-made grill setup they can take with them — no built-in investment left behind when they move. Backyard cooks planning a future outdoor kitchen who want to start grilling immediately on the cart while the island design and build is still in progress. Buyers pairing a new AOG 30-inch grill with this cart to create a complete freestanding system from the start, without the lead time or cost of a custom island.

Frequently Asked Questions ► Which AOG grills are compatible with the 30CRT-25 cart?► The 30CRT-25 is designed to fit any AOG 30-inch built-in grill — both the L-Series and the T-Series. It does not fit AOG 24-inch or 36-inch grills, or grills from other manufacturers. AOG also makes the 24CRT-25 and 36CRT-25 cart bases for the other grill sizes in the lineup. Does the cart come with a gas connection hose?► 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). You will need one of these to connect your grill head to your fuel source, so we recommend ordering it at the same time as the cart. Is the grill head included?► No. The 30CRT-25 is a cart base only — the grill head (L-Series or T-Series, propane or natural gas) is sold separately. This lets you choose exactly the grill configuration that fits your cooking needs and fuel preference. How wide is the cart with the shelves folded down versus extended?► With both side shelves folded down, the cart is 44¼ inches wide — a compact footprint for tighter patios and easier maneuvering through gates. With both shelves fully extended, the total working width opens to 64⅛ inches. The cart base itself measures 34½ inches. All dimensions are from the AOG 2026 official Spec Guide. What is the overall depth of the cart?► The cart base is 21¼ inches deep. With a grill head mounted, the maximum outer depth from front of grill to back of cart is 38⅜ inches, per the AOG 2026 Spec Guide. What is the working height of the cart?► The cart stands 36 inches from the floor to the top of the shelf — standard counter height, which puts your grill controls and cooking surface at a natural, comfortable working level. What type of stainless steel is the 30CRT-25 made from?► The 30CRT-25 is built from 304 stainless steel — the commercial-grade alloy used in professional kitchen equipment. It resists rust, salt-air corrosion, and the repeated heat cycles of outdoor cooking far better than lower-grade stainless, making it a strong choice for coastal and humid climates as well as inland use. Is this cart made in the USA?► Yes. American Outdoor Grill is a US-manufactured brand, and the 30CRT-25 is made in the USA. What is the warranty on the 30CRT-25?► American Outdoor Grill provides a 10-year warranty on stainless steel parts. This warranty is honored directly by AOG — not by Deck & Den. Deck & Den passes through the manufacturer's warranty and is not the warrantor. Can I add accent color door panels to this cart?► Yes. AOG offers optional Accent Black and Accent White door panel accessories for the 30CRT-25, sold separately. These let you customize the look of the cart to match different patio color schemes or stand out from a standard stainless finish. Does the cart work with both propane and natural gas?► Yes — the cart base itself is fuel-neutral. The fuel type is determined by the grill head you mount and the connection hose you choose. For liquid propane, use AOG hose #5110-07. For natural gas, use AOG quick-disconnect hose #5110-03. Both hoses are sold separately. How does the 30-inch cart compare to the 36-inch cart?► The 30CRT-25 is the right choice if you own or plan to buy a 30-inch AOG grill head. It is approximately 6 inches narrower in the cart base (34½ in vs. 40¾ in) and opens to 64⅛ inches wide with shelves extended, compared to 70⅜ inches on the 36-inch cart. If you have a 36-inch AOG grill, you need the 36CRT-25. The carts are not interchangeable between grill sizes. Is this cart truly portable, or is it for permanent placement?► It is a portable, freestanding unit. The caster wheels let you roll it across a deck, patio, or driveway, then lock it in place for cooking. There is no permanent installation, no concrete, and no fixed gas line required — it's designed to go where you want it to go. What clearances do I need around the cart?► Clearance requirements are set by the specific AOG grill head mounted on the cart, not by the cart base alone. Refer to the owner's manual for your L-Series or T-Series grill for required distances from combustible surfaces, and follow all applicable local codes. How do I maintain the stainless steel finish?► Wipe down with a mild stainless steel cleaner or warm soapy water, always moving with the grain of the steel to avoid fine scratching. Avoid abrasive pads and chlorine-based cleaners, which can pit the surface over time. A stainless steel polish applied periodically helps preserve the satin finish and repel surface staining. How difficult is assembly?► The 30CRT-25 ships mostly assembled — the primary steps involve attaching the fold-down side shelves and then mounting your grill head. AOG provides a dedicated cart assembly guide (document C2-770) with step-by-step instructions, available for download in the Manuals & Documents section above. Can I use a grill cover with this cart?► Yes — AOG offers grill covers sized for their portable cart configurations. Make sure to select a cover for the 30-inch cart-mounted setup (not the built-in version) to ensure a proper fit over both the grill head and the cart body. Covers are sold separately.
