As Seen on HGTV's Celebrity IOU: The Property Brothers and LeAnn Rimes Build With American Made Grills
When country music icon LeAnn Rimes wanted to do something truly special for her longtime friend and counselor Roger, she turned to Drew and Jonathan Scott — better known as HGTV's Property Brothers — for help. The result was one of the most memorable outdoor kitchen reveals in Celebrity IOU history, and the brands they chose to build it with are the same ones you'll find right here at LivingOutdoorsy.
The Episode: A Thank-You Years in the Making
In Season 2 of Celebrity IOU, LeAnn Rimes teamed up with the Property Brothers to surprise Roger with the indoor-outdoor kitchen he had always dreamed of. Roger had been a source of unwavering support during some of the most challenging moments in LeAnn's life, and this renovation was her way of saying thank you.
The project was ambitious. Drew and Jonathan transformed Roger's dated home into an entertainer's paradise, complete with sleek dark cabinetry, an oversized stone island, and a massive collapsible sliding door that opened the kitchen directly into a stunning backyard patio. But the real showpiece was the outdoor kitchen — a fully equipped cooking and dining space clad in gorgeous cedar, designed for someone who loves cooking Italian food as much as Roger does.
Why the Property Brothers Chose American Made Grills and Summerset
For a build of this caliber — one that would air on national television and needed to look as incredible as it performed — the Property Brothers didn't reach for just any outdoor kitchen brands. They selected American Made Grills and Summerset, two names that professionals in the outdoor living industry know for their uncompromising quality.
The centerpiece of Roger's outdoor kitchen was a massive 42-inch Estate Grill by American Made Grills. This isn't a typical backyard grill. The Estate series represents the pinnacle of American outdoor cooking engineering, built from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel right here in the United States. It's the kind of grill that professional outdoor kitchen designers specify when budget isn't the constraint — performance is.
Alongside the Estate Grill, the brothers installed a Summerset Outdoor Oven, giving Roger the ability to make authentic wood-fired pizza and roasted dishes in his new Italian-inspired outdoor kitchen. The combination of these two pieces created a cooking setup that rivals what you'd find in a high-end restaurant, all in Roger's backyard.
What Makes American Made Grills Different
American Made Grills, formerly known as American Muscle Grill, has earned its reputation by doing things differently. While many grill brands outsource manufacturing overseas, AMG builds every unit in the United States using premium 304-grade stainless steel. Their grills are known for exceptional heat retention, precise temperature control, and a build quality that's designed to last for decades — not just a few seasons.
The brand's flagship Muscle Grill is the only true multi-fuel hybrid grill on the market at its price point. It lets you cook with natural gas, charcoal, wood chunks, lump coal, or pellets — or any combination simultaneously. Forbes has called it the number one grill in its category, and once you understand the engineering behind it, you can see why the Property Brothers trusted AMG for a nationally televised build.
Summerset: Professional-Grade Performance, Family-Owned Values
Summerset Grills brings over two decades of experience in designing and manufacturing professional-grade outdoor kitchen equipment. As a family-owned and operated company, they've built their reputation on delivering commercial-level performance at price points that make sense for homeowners who want the best without the commercial markup.
Their product line extends well beyond grills — the outdoor oven featured in the Celebrity IOU episode is a perfect example. Summerset designs complete outdoor kitchen ecosystems, from refrigeration and storage to cooking and prep stations, all built to the same exacting standards. It's why designers and contractors consistently recommend Summerset for projects where reliability and aesthetics need to coexist.
