American Outdoor Grill 36-Inch Portable Cart

Your Built-In AOG, Unchained — Take the Grill Anywhere Your Patio Demands The 36CRT-25 converts any 36-inch AOG L-Series or T-Series built-in into a freestanding, roll-anywhere gas grill — with the storage, prep space, and commercial-grade build to match. The American Outdoor Grill 36-Inch Portable Cart Base (model 36CRT-25) is the dedicated freestanding solution for AOG's 36-inch built-in grills. Engineered from commercial-grade 304 stainless steel and made in the USA, it transforms an L-Series or T-Series built-in head into a fully mobile outdoor cooking station — no outdoor kitchen island required. Twin fold-down side shelves give you real prep real estate, dual access doors keep your tools and accessories organized below, and a built-in tank ring holder secures your propane cylinder right where you need it. If you already own an AOG 36-inch built-in, or you're planning to buy one, this cart is the natural first add-on — the one that gives your grill its own address on the patio. Free Shipping 45-Day Returns Price Match Available Made in the USA Commercial-Grade 304 SS Why the 36CRT-25 Is the Right Foundation for Your AOG A great grill deserves a cart built to the same standard. The 36CRT-25 is engineered specifically for AOG's 36-inch grills — not a generic one-size stand — so the fit, the finish, and the build quality all match. L & T Universal Fit for Both AOG Series Designed to accept any 36-inch AOG built-in — L-Series or T-Series — so you can pair the cart now and upgrade your grill head later without replacing the base. 304 SS Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel Throughout Full 304 stainless steel construction — the same grade used in professional kitchens — stands up to rain, heat, humidity, and years of outdoor use without rusting or fading. 70⅜" Wide-Open Prep Surface When You Need It Twin fold-down side shelves extend the station to over 70 inches wide — room for a full platter, your mise en place, and a pair of tongs — then tuck flat when space is tight. Tank Ring Built-In Propane Tank Holder The integrated tank ring holder keeps your LP cylinder secured inside the cabinet — no straps, no tip hazard, no separate tank stand cluttering up your patio. Roll It Caster Wheels for True Portability Heavy-duty casters let you wheel the entire setup — grill and all — to wherever the party is, then lock it in place for cooking. No outdoor kitchen required.

The integrated tank ring holder keeps your propane cylinder secured inside the cabinet, out of sight and safely upright. When you're done for the night, everything disappears behind the stainless doors and the patio stays clean. Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take ► The Deck & Den Take — If you already own a 36-inch AOG built-in, or you're planning to buy one, this cart is the purchase that makes the whole setup make sense. Without it, your grill lives in a countertop or island — fixed, permanent. With the 36CRT-25, it moves. You can rearrange the patio for a party, tuck the rig into a corner for winter, or haul it out to the driveway for a tailgate. The made-in-the-USA build and matching stainless finish mean it doesn't look like an afterthought next to your AOG — it looks like it was always part of the plan. One tip: pick up the appropriate gas connection hose at the same time (LP or NG — sold separately), so you're ready to fire up the moment the cart is assembled. AOG 36-inch grill owners who want to move their built-in head to a freestanding cart instead of (or before) committing to a permanent outdoor kitchen island. Renters and frequent movers who need a premium gas grill setup they can take with them when they go — no built-in investment left behind. Patio hosts who like to rearrange and need a grill station that repositions easily, rather than one locked into a fixed counter cutout. Backyard cooks planning an outdoor kitchen who want to start grilling now on the cart while the island build is still in progress — same grill head, no compromise. Buyers pairing the cart with a new AOG 36-inch grill as a complete freestanding system without the lead time and cost of a custom island installation.

Frequently Asked Questions ► Which AOG grills are compatible with the 36CRT-25 cart?► The 36CRT-25 is designed to fit any AOG 36-inch built-in grill — both the L-Series and the T-Series. It is not compatible with AOG 24-inch or 30-inch grills, or grills from other manufacturers. If you have a different grill size, AOG also makes the 24CRT-25 and 30CRT-25 cart bases. Does the cart come with a gas connection hose?► No — the gas connection hose is sold separately. AOG offers two options: the LP hose (model #5110-07) for liquid propane setups, and the NG quick-disconnect hose (model #5110-03, 10 ft) for natural gas. You will need one of these to connect your grill head to your fuel source. Is the grill head included with the cart?► No. The 36CRT-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 the exact grill configuration that fits your cooking style and fuel preference. How wide is the cart with the side shelves folded down versus extended?► With both side shelves folded down, the cart measures 50½ inches wide — compact enough to fit in tighter patio spaces or move through a gate. With both shelves extended, the total station width opens to 70⅜ inches. The cart base itself is 40¾ inches wide. All dimensions are from the official AOG 2026 Spec Guide. What is the overall depth of the cart?► The cart base itself is 21¼ inches deep. With a grill head mounted, the maximum outer depth (front of grill to back of cart) is 41½ inches, per the AOG 2026 Spec Guide. What is the working height of the cart surface?► The cart stands 36 inches from the floor to the top of the shelf — a standard counter height that puts your grill controls and cooking surface at a comfortable working level. What type of stainless steel is the cart made from?► The 36CRT-25 is built from 304 stainless steel — the commercial-grade alloy used in professional kitchen equipment. It offers superior resistance to rust, salt-air corrosion, and the heat cycles of outdoor cooking, and it holds up far better than lower-grade stainless in coastal or humid climates. Is the AOG 36-Inch Cart made in the USA?► Yes. American Outdoor Grill is a US-manufactured brand, and the 36CRT-25 is made in the USA. What is the warranty on the 36CRT-25 cart?► 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 use accent color door panels on this cart?► Yes. AOG offers optional Accent Black and Accent White door panel accessories for the 36CRT-25, sold separately. These let you customize the look of your cart to match different patio aesthetics or differentiate from a standard stainless finish. Does the cart work for both propane and natural gas grills?► Yes — the cart base itself is fuel-neutral. The fuel type is determined by the grill head you mount on it 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. Does the tank ring holder accommodate a standard 20-lb propane tank?► The integrated tank ring holder is designed to secure an LP cylinder inside the cart cabinet. AOG does not publish the exact tank diameter spec for this holder in publicly available documentation; please contact Deck & Den to confirm compatibility with the size of tank you plan to use before ordering. How difficult is assembly?► The 36CRT-25 arrives mostly assembled — the main steps involve attaching the fold-down side shelves and mounting your grill head. AOG provides a dedicated cart assembly guide (document C2-770) with step-by-step instructions. You can download it from the Manuals & Documents section above. Is this cart for permanent outdoor installation or truly portable?► It is a portable, freestanding unit — not a built-in or permanent installation. The caster wheels allow you to roll it across a patio, deck, or driveway, then lock it in place for cooking. Unlike a built-in island, there is no concrete, framing, or permanent gas line required. What are the clearance requirements for this cart?► Clearance requirements are determined by the specific AOG grill head mounted on the cart, not by the cart alone. Refer to the owner's manual for your L-Series or T-Series grill for the required clearances from combustible surfaces. AOG also recommends following all local codes and the grill's installation instructions. How do I maintain the stainless steel finish?► Wipe down with a mild stainless steel cleaner or warm soapy water, always wiping with the grain of the steel to avoid scratching. Avoid abrasive pads or chlorine-based cleaners, which can damage the surface. A stainless steel polish applied a few times a year will help preserve the satin finish. Can I use a grill cover with this cart?► Yes — AOG offers grill covers designed for their portable cart configurations. Make sure to select a cover sized for the 36-inch cart-mounted setup (not the built-in version) to ensure a proper fit. Covers are sold separately.
