Shopping for a Commercial Grill for Your Apartment Complex or Condominium Common Area?

Managing an apartment complex or condo community can be quite the challenge. While upgrading amenities like gyms or pools is always an option, it's not always the most effective way to enhance resident satisfaction. Many property managers are now focusing on installing high-quality commercial grills in common areas. A propane or natural gas grill offers much more than just a place to cook. It fosters connections and strengthens community bonds. However, choosing the right commercial grill can be daunting. Fortunately, more property management companies are opting for PGS commercial grills for good reason.

When selecting a commercial grill, aesthetics and functionality matter. Many so-called "commercial" grills available in stores lack both. They often have unappealing designs, oversized logos, and branding that detracts from their appearance. Property managers typically prefer products that blend seamlessly with their community’s aesthetic. Additionally, many of these grills aren't built to withstand the wear and tear of frequent use. Often manufactured cheaply overseas, they frequently need replacing after just a few years. Investing in a durable, Made in USA grill made from cast aluminum or stainless steel is key.

PGS T-Series Commercial Grills: A Perfect Fit for Common Areas

PGS T-Series commercial grills, carried by AEI, are specifically designed for high-traffic, multifamily properties. These American-made grills boast a sleek design that sets them apart from cheaper, imported alternatives. Known for their durability, the T-Series models are built to last and come with an impressive warranty. Unlike many other grill manufacturers, PGS offers substantial warranties and replacement parts because their products hold up against harsh weather and constant use.

This series offers several options to cater to different community needs. Depending on the model, T-Series grills can operate on either liquid propane or natural gas. The T-30 and T-40 models exemplify how versatile these grills are. Both can be mounted on a fixed pedestal, a grill cart, or an outdoor countertop. These options allow property managers to secure the grill in place. For propane users, the cart setup hides the tank beneath the unit, offering mobility. For those with access to natural gas, a permanent installation is ideal.

Choosing the Right T-Series Grill for Your Community

While no single grill fits every space, practicality should guide your decision. The T-30 and T-40 models are compact yet powerful, generating between 30,000 and 40,000 BTUs and offering 330 to 434 square inches of cooking space. Constructed from heavy-duty cast aluminum with stainless steel cooking grids, these models are space-efficient and suitable for individual condo or apartment patios.

Bigger gatherings call for larger grills. The S27T model boasts a spacious 504-square-inch cooking area over 45,000 BTUs. Its stylish laser-etched instructions and anti-theft knobs make it an excellent choice for common areas. It can be mounted on a matching cart for propane use or integrated into an outdoor kitchen for natural gas setups. The S36T takes things up a notch with a 720-square-inch cooking area and 67,000 BTUs. Alongside its premium features, it includes a five-year replacement warranty.

For the largest events, the S48T is unmatched. Delivering 90,000 BTUs across 960 square inches of direct grilling space, this grill handles massive crowds with ease. An optional warming rack adds versatility, allowing chefs to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously. With its comprehensive safety features and robust build, the S48T is a standout choice.

Safety First with PGS T-Series Grills

As a property manager, ensuring the safety of residents is paramount. Commercial grills pose risks if misused, but PGS T-Series grills prioritize safety. Each grill comes equipped with a matchless ignition system to prevent accidents. The 60-minute fuel shutoff timer ensures no one forgets to turn off the grill, reducing fire hazards and saving resources. Additional features like Lift-Assist and an ESTOP emergency gas shutoff further enhance safety.
