High Quality PSG Grills: Fuel Types & Mounting Options

As the summer grilling season approaches, you might get by with just about any grill that's handy—whether it's the slightly rusty iron model at the local park or the dusty little Weber gathering dust in your garage. With a bit of aluminum foil and a wire brush, you can usually make it work. However, if you're looking to impress, cater to a crowd, and do it in style, you'll want a high-quality PSG grill from AEI.

Matching Gas BBQ Grills to Your Patio Layout

Most gas-powered grills will be used in a residential backyard setting or in shared recreational areas like those found in apartments, condos, or similar complexes.

A residential outdoor propane grill can either be portable for storage and mobility or permanently installed on your patio or designated grilling area. Natural gas grills, on the other hand, are permanently fixed in place. The fuel type you choose depends on your preferences, what's available in your area, and the specific needs of your usage scenario.

Commercial grills are a fantastic addition to apartment or condo complexes, or any shared outdoor spaces like swimming pools, clubhouses, courtyards, and other communal areas. Many of the grills offered by AEI come equipped with the popular and reliable automatic 60-minute shutoff feature. These anti-mischief features make these grills ideal for public and semi-public settings. Installing a new commercial grill can significantly increase the value of your property, improve its curb appeal, and send a strong message to potential renters about the quality of your property management.

This applies equally to adding a stainless steel natural gas grill or a portable propane grill to a single-family home. Not only will it increase your home's value, but it will also provide a fantastic recreational feature that you, your family, and your friends can enjoy for years to come.

No matter whether you live in a single-family home or a multi-family property, outdoor barbecues are a beloved and popular activity that allows you to prepare delicious meals for individuals, families, and even large gatherings. Grills let you cook a variety of foods, even at the same event. Whether you’re cooking traditional meals or experimenting with your own creations, your new stainless steel grill from AEI can handle it all.

Choosing Your Grilling Options

Before selecting the size and style of grill you want, first decide which fuel to use and how you’d like to mount it. AEI offers grill models powered by liquid propane and models that run on natural gas. The type of fuel you choose should depend on the availability of each in your location, as well as your preferred mounting options.

Both fuel types are cost-effective, user-friendly, and clean-burning. However, there are some key differences to consider.

Natural Gas Grills

NG grills connect directly to a natural gas line. If you already have a natural gas line on your property, an NG grill is a smart choice. You won’t need to buy and replace onboard fuel tanks, and the grill will always be ready to go. However, since they are fixed in place, NG grills cannot be moved. They are ideal for permanent installations at patio grilling stations.

NG grills and cooking counters can be built to fit nearly any size patio, with a wide range of sizes available. Pedestal mounts are a great option for saving space—they have a small footprint and are extremely safe and stable.

Because they are fixed in place, we recommend getting or building a cover for your NG grill to protect it from the elements, especially during the winter months.

If your home doesn’t have a natural gas line, you might be able to have one installed by your local utility provider. Otherwise, propane fuel is a great alternative.

Liquid Propane Grills

An outdoor propane grill carries a fuel tank in its base. Propane tanks need to be replaced once the fuel runs out. These grills can be easily repositioned using the attached wheels on the base.

The biggest advantage of LP grills is their mobility. The bases of these grills can be fitted with wheels for easy relocation. This allows you to rearrange your patio setup for different events and activities. It also makes it simpler to store the grill away during the winter for better maintenance.

Some propane services will deliver full tanks straight to your door and take away the empty ones. Others require you to purchase tanks at a local outlet, which are often conveniently located near grocery stores, gas stations, and other places.

Your mounting options will depend on the layout of your patio, the amount of space you have, and the relative availability of LP and NG fuel types in your area. Regardless of the fuel type you choose, you’ll enjoy plenty of power for cooking, along with a range of mounting options to suit your needs.

Options & Accessories

We suggest taking a close look at your available patio space before deciding on a mounting option.

• Pedestal mounts: Sturdy, compact, and permanent, pedestal grills fit nearly any space and are virtually impossible to tip over. They’re an excellent choice for smaller NG-powered grills.

• Grill carts: These portable grill mounts offer flexibility with added storage space. They’re a good option for LP-powered grills, given the need for a fuel tank to accompany the grill.

• Prefabricated grill islands: Made from high-quality materials, prefabricated grill islands can be permanent or semi-mobile. They can be made from stainless steel and other weather-resistant materials. They feature storage, cooling, heating, and warming enclosures.

• Outdoor countertops: A great way to transform your outdoor grilling area into a full-service cooking station. Build your grill into a stylish outdoor countertop for convenience, security, and functionality.
