Grilling season is far from over, and here at Hearthside Hearth & Home, we’re looking forward to some cooler nights spent on the patio.

Cooking up your favorite proteins and veggies is easy when you’ve got the right gear for the job. That’s why we’re sharing our top 3 grill picks to help you know what’s next in the grilling world.

1. Fire Magic’s Echelon Grills

The Echelon grill series by Fire Magic offers pure performance wrapped in sleek designs that will knock the socks off your old grill. These grills come as built-in units that can be incorporated into a custom outdoor kitchen counter or island, put into a Fire Magic pre-built island (as shown below) or as stand alone portable grills you can move anywhere.

Echelon is Fire Magic’s top-of-the-line series, and it’s number one on our list for a lot of reasons, including its stainless steel double thick hood that traps in heat, its ¼” thick cast 304 stainless steel burners that are specially designed with a protective lip above the ports to prevent grease clogs and its beautiful lighting that makes cooking in any time of day a delightful experience.

2. American Outdoor Grills (AOG) Portable or Built-in Grills

Coming in second on our list is the tremendously well-built lineup of portable and built-in grills from AOG.

Grillers looking for the same power, performance and durability of Fire Magic, but who want something a little less spendy need not look any further than AOG. This gorgeous line of grills is actually made by the same great people who brought us Fire Magic, and is positioned as its “entry level” series — but this entry level series blows all other “top level” big box brands out of the water!

AOG grills feature large cooking surfaces, solid brass valves for precise temperature control and long life, and heavy duty 300 series stainless steel construction. Owners of AOG grills rave about the easy maintenance and high-quality craftsmanship. We’re sure you’ll love being the proud owner of an AOG grill as well.

3. Vermont Castings Vanguard™ Grills

If you’re looking for performance and durability, plus the same 304 stainless steel burners and heat plates from top-of-the-line models (but for a lower price point), then we highly recommend giving this new grills series from Vermont Castings a look.

Vermont Castings grills use heavy duty construction that seals in heat for year-round grilling and makes you the grill master no matter what you throw at it. It’s designed to be long-lasting and easy to clean, and features porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates. We like the sound of that sizzle!

We’re excited to have models in our showroom for you to come take a look at. You won’t believe how much better these are than big box brands. See for yourself why investing in the right grill will give you so much joy in your outdoor cooking.
