As more people adapted to remote work during the pandemic, they discovered new ways to enhance their quality of life. One major shift was in how meals were prepared—fast food gave way to fresh, grilled meals on stainless steel grills. Now that the pandemic is behind us, outdoor commercial grills are becoming a must-have amenity in multifamily housing.
According to an article in *Multifamily Executive*, "Outdoor Amenities Important in Post-Pandemic World," residents are increasingly looking for outdoor spaces to socialize and relax. Communal areas like fire pits, beer gardens, and grilling stations are now top priorities for many renters.
While these amenities offer great value, property managers often worry about safety and liability. The solution? Installing secure, fixed-in-place commercial grill bases for outdoor patio grills. This not only enhances safety but also makes it easier to manage shared spaces effectively.
**What You Need to Know About Outdoor Commercial Grills**
The outdoor BBQ market has seen massive growth over the past few years. From 2019 to 2021, sales increased from $5.1 billion to $6.43 billion annually. Experts predict this trend will continue, with revenue expected to reach over $8.1 billion by 2023.
This surge shows that people are eager to enjoy the health benefits and lifestyle improvements that come with grilling. At the same time, apartment and condo managers have valid concerns about safety. Fortunately, modern commercial grills come equipped with advanced safety features to help reduce risks.
Andrew Meditz, co-owner of ELITE Amenity Management, emphasized the importance of clear rules and enforcement. He mentioned that when The Denizen, a luxury NYC apartment complex, introduced its outdoor amenities, residents had to sign off on the rules before using them.
**How to Improve Safety with Outdoor Grills**
Many states, including California, have banned charcoal grills on balconies and decks due to fire risks. Stainless steel gas grills, especially those with automatic shut-off timers, are much safer. These timers prevent accidents and save energy, making them a smart choice for property managers.
To further enhance safety, consider the following features:
- **Gas Grill Timers:** 60-minute shutoff timers help prevent burns and wasted fuel.
- **Pedestal Grills:** Mounted securely on bases, these grills are less likely to tip over.
- **Laser-Etched Control Panels:** Provide clear instructions directly on the unit, reducing confusion.
- **Grill Islands:** Ideal for large gatherings, these units are built to last and stay in place.

For multifamily communities, choosing the right grill is essential. A good rule of thumb is one grill per 25 living units. The PGS T-Series line offers excellent options with built-in safety features.
The T30 and T40 models are perfect for pedestal mounting, offering 60-minute timers and ample cooking space. For larger spaces, the S27T, S36T, and S48T models provide even more power and convenience, with laser-etched controls and theft-proof knobs.
With the post-pandemic demand for outdoor amenities growing, investing in safe, high-quality grills is a smart move. It not only improves resident satisfaction but also helps protect the property from potential liabilities.
