It's becoming increasingly hard to find American made grills and grilling accessories, an irony similar to having a country's Olympic uniforms imported from another country, or even importing national flags. If you dig deep, you'll find that even the most celebrated American grilling companies have quietly shuffled their manufacturing abroad (ehem, Weber), however some remain, and with some support they just might stick around.
Below is a short list on American made grills, grilling tools, carving sets, and steak knives ranked by your level of devotion to:
