Outdoor Grilling with the A-Series

The PGS "A" (Aluminum) Series of grills are specially designed for durability and performance. Made from a combination of permanent mold aluminum, commercial-grade stainless steel, brass, and porcelain on steel components, these grills offer both strength and an attractive appearance. The A-Series is the result of over 40 years of experience in selling top-quality outdoor cooking products, which has been used to create a versatile and reliable grill that can handle any grilling task.

The A-Series comes in two sizes: the A-30 and A-40. Both models provide a wide range of mounting options—permanent or mobile—and various accessories to suit your needs. These grills can be used with either natural gas or liquid propane, making them flexible for different setups and locations.

Choosing a Location

Designed specifically for outdoor use, the A-Series grills produce carbon monoxide when burning gas. It's important to ensure proper ventilation to avoid dangerous buildup in enclosed spaces.

Never operate your A-Series grill indoors, in a garage, RV, boat, or any other enclosed area.

When placing your grill, make sure it is at least 30 inches away from any flammable materials and away from high-traffic areas to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

Lighting Your Grill

Before lighting your grill, always check the gas hose or supply for wear, damage, or cuts. If there’s any issue, replace the hose before using the grill. Open the lid completely before lighting to avoid trapping gas fumes, which could lead to flare-ups.

  1. Do not stand directly over the grill when lighting the burner.
  2. Open the lid and check the interior to make sure everything looks normal.
  3. Set the control knobs to the OFF position. Either knob can be used to light the grill.
  4. Turn the gas ON at the tank or supply. Turn one knob to Medium and press the ignitor button gently. You should hear the ignitor clicking, and one half of the burner should light within four seconds. Then turn the other knob to HI, and the second burner will ignite automatically.

Once lit, check that the flame is steady and at the right temperature. It’s a good idea to observe the grill for two minutes after lighting to catch any small leaks or issues like spider fires caused by webs or blockages.

Grilling Tips

  1. On your first use, light both burners on HI for 10–15 minutes to burn off any oils on new surfaces. Before using, apply a thin layer of vegetable or safflower oil to the cooking grids. Spraying oil works just as well.
  2. Burning the unit after each use is not necessary or recommended. Extended burning can cause premature wear on your grill. Instead, preheat for 5–8 minutes before cooking to burn off excess grease. After cooking, let the grids cool slightly, then gently clean them with a nylon pad to remove any stuck-on food.

Remember to lightly oil the cooking grid before each use for better performance and easier cleaning.

You can clean your stainless steel cooking grids with a brass wire brush. Always rinse them thoroughly before using again.

Do not place cooking grids, rock grates, or rocks in self-cleaning ovens.

Safety & the A-Series

At AEI, we're committed to providing a safe and enjoyable outdoor grilling experience. Natural gas and propane are both safe when used properly. However, never use natural gas in a grill designed for propane or vice versa. Also, never connect an unregulated propane cylinder or natural gas line to your grill.

Most homes with natural gas have a regulator near the meter. If you accidentally leave the grill valves on and then open the tank valve, the excess flow device will shut off the gas flow. If this happens, turn the grill valves to OFF, then close the tank valve. Wait two minutes, then open the tank valve first before turning the grill valves back on. Always open the tank valve before turning on the grill.
