2024 Buying Guide for Patio Grills

Adding natural gas or propane patio grills in common areas of apartments, condos, and multi-family housing can significantly enhance the quality of life for residents. Whether property managers choose fixed or portable models, these outdoor cooking spaces offer added value that residents appreciate. However, selecting the right outdoor BBQ grill for your community can be a complex process.

Luckily, the PGS Grill line offers a wide range of high-quality options and accessories tailored to meet the needs of different multi-family environments. This guide aims to help property owners, developers, contractors, and managers make informed decisions when choosing the best patio grills for their properties.

Patio Grills Run on Natural Gas or Propane

A patio grill is often the centerpiece of an outdoor kitchen, but which fuel should you choose? When selecting a grill for a multi-family property, it’s important to consider the fuel source available in your area. If your building has access to municipal natural gas lines, then a natural gas grill is a great option. If not, or if you need a portable solution, a propane grill would be more suitable.

Natural gas grills require a dedicated fuel line and are typically installed permanently. Since they’re connected directly to the gas supply, there's no need for a tank, making them ideal for long-term installations. Condo developers sometimes use space-saving pedestal grills on individual patios. These are not portable and must be fixed in place.

Propane grills come with a tank that is usually hidden underneath the unit, allowing for portability. This makes them perfect for situations where flexibility is needed, such as repositioning the grill for different events or gatherings. The propane tank can be easily replaced when empty, which is a simple and quick process.

All PGS grill models are available in both natural gas and propane versions, so your choice of fuel won’t limit your selection. Once you decide on the best fuel type for your location, you can choose the model and mounting style that suits your needs.

Mounting Options to Consider

Choosing the right mounting option for your patio grill can greatly impact its usability and appearance. Different mounting styles allow you to maximize space and create a functional outdoor cooking area. Here are some common mounting options for T-Series grills:

• In-Ground Post: A sturdy pole installed in the ground with the grill mounted on top. Ideal for saving space and offering a cost-effective solution for communal grilling areas.
• Pedestal Mounts: A base installed on the ground, similar to in-ground posts, but often made of stainless steel or powder-coated black. They hide fuel lines and tanks (for propane) and are aesthetically pleasing.
• Portable Grill Carts: These are propane grills mounted on wheels, allowing for easy movement. Perfect for flexible use in areas without gas lines or for storage when not in use.
• Custom Outdoor Countertops: Custom-built countertops made from non-combustible materials like concrete. Great for a custom look, but can be expensive and may have weight restrictions.
• Grill Islands: Prefabricated islands that provide the look and function of a custom outdoor kitchen at a lower cost and weight than traditional masonry setups.

Cast Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel Grills

Durability is key when choosing an outdoor grill. PGS T-Series grills are built from either cast aluminum or stainless steel, both of which are highly durable materials. All internal components, such as burners and cooking grids, are made from stainless steel to ensure longevity and performance.

Stainless Steel Grills

The S27T, S36T, and S48T models are fully constructed from stainless steel. These grills offer powerful performance, with BTU outputs ranging from 45,000 to 90,000 and grilling areas between 540 to 960 square inches. Stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it a popular choice for its aesthetic appeal and durability.

Cast Aluminum Grills

The T30 and T40 models feature a cast aluminum exterior, while still using stainless steel for internal components. These grills are smaller and ideal for communal areas where multiple users may want to cook simultaneously. They are also more affordable without sacrificing quality or functionality.

Standard Accessories Included

PGS T-Series grills come with several high-end accessories designed to enhance user experience and safety:

• Gas-Flow Shutoff Timer: Prevents wasted fuel and reduces fire hazards by automatically shutting off the gas after a set time.
• Anti-Theft Control Dials: Prevent unauthorized adjustments and reduce the risk of damage from misuse.
• Laser-Etched Instructions: Clear, permanent instructions on the control panel ensure safe and efficient operation for all users.

Optional Accessories for Enhanced Functionality

PGS also offers optional accessories to further customize your grill setup:

• Lift-Assist Handle: Makes it easier for everyone, including those with limited mobility, to open and close the grill lid.
• Emergency Gas Shutoff: Provides immediate shutdown in case of emergencies, along with a timer function.
• Infrared Rotisserie Burner: Allows for cooking large cuts of meat and other dishes that aren’t typically grilled.
• Side Burners: Expand your cooking capabilities with additional heat sources for side dishes.
• Beverage Centers: Keep drinks cold and ready for guests while you grill.
