Artisan American Eagle 26" Cart Gas Grill AAEP-26C

The American Eagle 26" AAEP-26C is a 26-inch freestanding cart gas grill with two 304 stainless steel U-burners and 570 sq in of total grilling area (including the warming rack). It is the AAEP-26 grill head mounted on Artisan's matching stainless steel cart, made in the USA by Superior Equipment Solutions (SES Brands) in City of Industry, California, and offered for liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).

American Eagle is the entry point to Artisan: no lights and no wiring needed, with a 9V battery electronic ignition, ceramic briquettes and a spring-assisted hood. The cart version ships fully assembled, so it suits patios and decks where you want a freestanding grill instead of masonry work. Building an island instead?
