Grilling Enthusiasm Meets the Facts: The Appeal of Home BBQ
5-minute read | Grills
When you talk about homeowners enjoying their patio BBQ grills, you’re talking about a mix of passion and facts. Cooking up meals for the family on a residential BBQ grill has become one of the biggest pastimes in North America. Whether it’s a built-in or portable propane grill, these appliances inspire busy families to fire up the grill more often for dishes like burgers, hot dogs, steaks, and even veggie kabobs. And yes, while I’m a bit biased as someone who loves a good stainless steel BBQ grill, there are plenty of stats to back this up.
- About two-thirds of Americans own a backyard grill or smoker.
- Over 70% of Canadians own a residential BBQ grill or smoker.
- On holidays, Americans are grilling at these rates: 68% on Independence Day, 56% on Memorial Day and Labor Day, 42% on Father’s Day, and 29% on Mother’s Day.
- Nearly 75% of residential BBQ owners plan to grill all winter long.
- 61% prefer a permanently fixed or portable propane grill as their fuel source.
While research shows that portable and permanent grills are extremely popular, there’s also data that explains why people love outdoor grilling so much. Here's what the numbers tell us:
- More than two-thirds of people cook on a residential BBQ grill for the incredible flavor.
- About 45% of patio barbecue enthusiasts grill as part of a healthy lifestyle choice.
- 33% of grill users choose outdoor cooking for its convenience.
Another 32% own a stainless steel BBQ grill so they can host friends and family, while 19% see it as a top hobby. These stats show how deeply people feel about outdoor grilling. However, the fact that 37% of homeowners are actively searching for a new grill each year suggests that many are buying low-quality grills.
Why Investing in a High-Quality BBQ Matters
Year after year, around 60-70% of homeowners own a patio barbecue. Many of the cheaper models on the market today only last about five years before needing replacement. Given how much people love grilling, the health benefits, and the superior taste, it doesn’t make sense to keep buying poorly-made grills. People who truly enjoy cooking over an open flame would benefit more from investing in a premium, long-lasting permanently fixed or portable propane grill. That’s why many are turning to brands like PGS A-Series and Legacy lines.
What Makes PGS Residential BBQ Grills Stand Out
PGS residential BBQ grills are designed exclusively for outdoor use and can run on either natural gas or propane. A pedestal BBQ with a lid usually operates on natural gas and is fixed in place. Only permanent grills can connect to natural gas lines, and many are used in full outdoor kitchens. Interestingly, one in ten residential BBQ grill owners invests in building an outdoor kitchen.
PGS remains a top choice because the components are made from high-grade stainless steel. This includes the burners, grates, and other parts. The base and lid are either made of stainless steel or durable cast aluminum, depending on the model. Both materials offer excellent protection from the elements, but most people pick one over the other based on aesthetics. Cast aluminum tends to be more budget-friendly, though.
In terms of installation options, PGS A-Series and Legacy residential BBQ grills offer flexible choices. Permanent grills can be mounted directly onto existing countertops or serve as the centerpiece of a complete outdoor kitchen design. A cost-effective way to achieve this is by using grill islands. The PGS Legacy line can be installed into an easy-to-assemble center island. The 67-inch Modano series residential BBQ island can be permanently fixed in place to connect with a natural gas line or house a portable propane tank.
Portable options are also popular, especially those with carts that store the propane tank below and often include wheels for easy movement. Pedestal BBQs are another favorite since they maximize usable patio space. All of this makes a PGS residential BBQ the ideal choice for anyone who loves the flavor, tradition, and experience of grilling.
Facts About PGS A-Series Residential BBQ Grills
It’s important to note that the A-Series patio barbecue grills come in two models, each with options for natural gas or propane. The A30 models are followed by an “LP†or “NP†suffix indicating the fuel type. Each produces up to 30,000 BTUs and offers 330 square inches of grilling space. The A40 models produce up to 40,000 BTUs and provide 434 square inches of direct grilling space.
Both A30 and A40 grills feature heavy-duty cast aluminum lids and basins with accompanying stainless steel internal components. Smart buyers choose PGS because of its unmatched ignition system, warming rack space, and complete parts availability, allowing them to avoid constantly replacing their grills every few years.
Facts About PGS Legacy Grills Series
The Legacy line is often at the top of grill enthusiasts' wish lists due to its sleek stainless steel design and durability. The Legacy line offers three models—S27, S36, and S48R—with options for propane or natural gas.
One reason homeowners prefer this line is the impressive accessories. Constructed with highly durable stainless steel, the standout accessory is the infrared rotisserie burner. Supermarkets have seen success offering delicious and convenient rotisserie chickens, and it’s not just a matter of preference—it’s a fact. Being able to prepare whole birds, large cuts of beef, pineapples, or veggie kabobs on the infrared rotisserie burner is a game-changer for backyard grillers.
The PGS Legacy S48R now offers the infrared rotisserie burner as standard equipment, making it the most cost-effective way to set up an extensive outdoor kitchen with diverse menu options. Other facts about the Legacy line include:
- Burner outputs range from 45,000 to 102,000 BTUs.
- Main cooking areas range from 540 to 960 square inches.
- Warming rack areas range from 200 to 355 square inches.
Like the A-Series, the Legacy line has readily available replacement parts and comes with a lifetime warranty covering major components. PGS grills can also be easily upgraded with features like a lift assist and a fuel shutoff timer for added safety and efficiency. Common sense suggests that investing in a Legacy BBQ leads to longer grilling seasons and more diverse meal options.
Ultimately, it’s better to make a one-time investment in a PGS grill that will last a lifetime. After considering everything PGS grills offer, it’s clear why people’s enthusiasm for grilling can turn into a backyard reality.
