Grilling is more than just a cooking method—it's a beloved American tradition that brings people together. Whether you're living in an apartment complex or a multi-family home, the desire to grill during barbecue season is universal.

Gas grills are the most popular choice due to their convenience and ease of use. Unlike charcoal grills, they don’t require as much preparation or cleanup. While some prefer the smoky flavor of charcoal, gas grills offer a reliable and efficient option.
The PSG A-Series and T-Series are top-rated gas grills. The A-Series features durable materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and porcelain. The T-Series is designed for commercial use, with added safety features such as a 60-minute gas flow timer that automatically shuts off the gas if the grill is left unattended.
PSG also offers built-in options like access doors, drawer storage, and beverage centers for a more integrated kitchen experience.
Apartment grilling safety tips:
- Open flame devices cannot be used within 10 feet of buildings or on combustible surfaces (unless the area has automatic sprinklers).
- Use the community grill whenever possible to ensure safety and compliance.
- Never leave your grill unattended, especially when children are around.
- Regularly check for gas leaks, proper assembly, and obstructions before using the grill.
- Always keep the lid open when lighting the grill to prevent gas buildup.
- Avoid overfilling propane tanks—only fill to 80% capacity.
- Clean the grill regularly to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.
Seasoning your commercial grill is essential. It helps the grates heat evenly and prevents rust. Follow these steps to properly season your grill:
1. Coat all surfaces with high-heat oil like canola or peanut oil.
2. Wipe off any excess oil.
3. Heat the grill for 15 minutes or until the oil starts smoking.
4. Let it cool and apply a thin layer of oil after each use.
When selecting meat for grilling, look for:
- Deep red color without brown spots.
- Good marbling for tenderness and flavor.
- At least 1 inch thickness for even cooking.
For a great BBQ, make sure you have the right tools: spatula, tongs, meat thermometer, and a good set of sauces and rubs. Grilling is not just about the food—it’s about bringing people together.
