As more people embraced remote work during the health emergency, they discovered a new way to enjoy life. Cooking fresh meals on stainless steel grills replaced unhealthy fast food, and outdoor grilling became a popular pastime. Now, as the pandemic fades, multifamily housing communities are taking outdoor commercial grills seriously as a standard amenity.
An article from *Multifamily Executive* titled “Outdoor Amenities Important in Post-Pandemic World†highlights this growing trend. It notes that residents are increasingly using outdoor spaces for socializing, with features like beer gardens, fire pits, and grilling areas becoming highly sought after.
Property owners and managers have concerns about safety and liability. One effective solution is to install secure, fixed-in-place commercial grill bases for outdoor patios. These bases not only improve safety but also make grilling a more enjoyable experience for residents.
**What You Need to Know About Outdoor Commercial Grills**
The outdoor BBQ market has seen tremendous growth over the last few years. From 2019 to 2021, sales increased from $5.1 billion to $6.43 billion annually, with projections reaching over $7.22 billion by the end of 2022 and more than $8.1 billion in 2023. This surge shows how much people value the convenience and health benefits of grilling.
While enthusiasm is high, safety remains a concern. Andrew Meditz, co-owner of ELITE Amenity Management, emphasized the importance of clear rules and enforcement. At The Denizen in New York City, residents must sign off on the rules before using the amenities, ensuring everyone understands the expectations.
In some states, such as California, charcoal grills are banned on balconies due to fire risks. Stainless steel gas grills, especially those with automatic shut-off timers, offer a safer alternative. These features help prevent accidents and reduce fuel waste, making them ideal for multifamily settings.
**How to Improve Safety with Outdoor Grills**
To ensure a safe environment, property managers should implement reasonable usage hours, promote the use of gas grills, and discourage the use of charcoal and lighter fluid. Many manufacturers now include built-in safety features to protect both residents and property.
Some key safety innovations include:
- **Gas Grill Timers**: 60-minute shutoff timers help prevent burns and wasted fuel.
- **Pedestal Grills**: Mounted on sturdy bases, these grills reduce the risk of tipping.
- **Laser-Etched Control Panels**: Clear instructions on the control panel eliminate the need for additional signage.
- **Grill Islands**: Ideal for large gatherings, these units are securely fixed to prevent movement.
These measures not only enhance safety but also create a more pleasant outdoor experience for residents.

Choosing the right grill is essential. For every 25 living units, one commercial grill is recommended. Models like the PGS T30 and T40 are perfect for pedestal mounting, offering reliable performance and safety features. They come with 60-minute timers and provide ample cooking space.
For larger setups, the S27T, S36T, and S48T models are excellent choices. These grills include laser-etched controls, theft-proof knobs, and strong BTU output. Their spacious cooking areas make them ideal for events and gatherings.
With the post-pandemic shift toward outdoor living, commercial grills are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity. Property managers who invest in safe, durable, and user-friendly grills will attract more residents and foster a stronger sense of community.
