Spotlight on the S48T: Our Largest Stainless Steel Patio Grill
If you own or manage a multifamily property like an apartment complex or condo community, providing great outdoor amenities is a smart investment. Outdoor cooking areas are a popular feature that helps bring people together. Whether it’s for a weekend barbecue, a family gathering, or a casual evening with neighbors, a reliable and powerful grill can make all the difference.
That’s why we’re putting the spotlight on the S48T, our largest stainless steel patio grill. This professional-grade outdoor grill is designed specifically for shared outdoor spaces. It’s strong, safe, easy to clean, and built to last—everything you want in a grill for a multifamily setting.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the S48T’s features, explain the difference between natural gas grills and propane grills, and show you why the S48T is a top choice for multifamily patio grill setups.
Why Stainless Steel?
Let’s start with what this grill is made of—stainless steel.
Stainless steel is one of the best materials for any outdoor grill, and here’s why:
- Rust-Resistant: Stainless steel doesn’t rust easily. That means it can stay outside in the rain or snow and still look good and work well.
- Strong and Durable: It holds up to heavy use, even in a busy shared space.
- Lightweight: It’s easier to move and install than heavier metals.
In short, a stainless steel patio grill like the S48T is built to handle real life. It can stand up to tough weather, frequent use, and still keep cooking like a champ.
Big Grill, Big Performance
The S48T is our largest grill—and that means more space to cook for more people.
Here are the key dimensions:
- Width: 51 inches
- Height: 23.5 inches
- Depth: 27 inches
- Cooking Surface: 960 square inches
That’s enough space to cook burgers, hot dogs, steaks, veggies, and more—all at the same time. If you’re serving a crowd, this grill makes it easy.
And if you’re planning to build the grill into a countertop or grill island, here are the cutout dimensions:
- 49 inches wide
- 23 inches deep
- 9.5 inches high
- 6 inches clearance behind the grill (for the lid when opened)
These specs make the S48T a great fit for custom outdoor kitchen setups. See our documentation for additional details and cut out dimensions for grill accessories, available to download for free on our product pages.
Smart Accessories for Shared Spaces
The S48T isn’t just big—it’s also smart. It comes with special features that are perfect for shared grills in apartment complexes or condo communities.
Grill Shutoff Timers
These 60 minute automatic fuel shutoff grill timers help keep everyone safe. If someone forgets to turn off the grill, the timer will shut it off automatically. This helps prevent gas waste, safety hazards, and unnecessary wear on the grill.
Flip Grates
Cleaning shared grills can be a pain—but not with the S48T. Flip grates make it super easy to clean the cooking surface. Property managers and maintenance teams will love this feature.
Anti-Theft Knobs
In shared outdoor spaces, security is important. The S48T includes knobs that are designed to stay in place, so you don’t have to worry about parts going missing.
Laser-Etched Control Panels
Over time, printed instructions can fade or wear off. That’s not a problem here. The S48T uses laser-etched control panels, so the instructions are carved right into the grill. They’ll never rub off—even after years of use.
Full 5-Year Parts Replacement Warranty
We stand behind the S48T with a full 5-year parts replacement warranty. That means if anything goes wrong due to normal use, you’re covered.
Plus, if something does need replacing later, replacement parts are easy to order on our dedicated website. This keeps your grill in great shape without needing to buy a whole new unit.
Installation Options to Fit Any Space
One of the best things about the S48T is how flexible it is. You can install it in a variety of ways to match your property’s outdoor design.
1. Grill Cart
Want something easy to move? The grill cart mount can have wheels if it runs on propane, so it can be repositioned as needed. Grill carts have a bottom shelf to store accessories or a propane tank. It’s great for patios, rooftops, or anywhere you want a movable grill.
2. Prefab Grill Island
Need a ready-made outdoor kitchen setup? A prefab grill island makes installation quick and easy. Just place the grill and you’re good to go.
3. Custom Outdoor Island
Want something built into your patio or courtyard? The S48T can be added to a custom outdoor island for a sleek, permanent grilling area.
No matter which option you choose, the S48T brings quality and style to your outdoor space.
Fuel Types: Natural Gas vs. Propane
The S48T comes in two fuel types: natural gas and propane. Let’s go over the differences so you can choose what works best for your property.
Natural Gas Grill
A natural gas grill connects directly to the utility gas line at your property. This means:
- No fuel tanks to swap out
- Lower fuel costs over time
- Never runs out during a cookout
However, installing a natural gas line may require a licensed contractor, especially if the grill is far from the existing gas hookup. Once installed, though, it’s super convenient and low-maintenance.
Propane Grill
A propane grill uses a propane tank stored underneath the grill. This gives you:
- More flexibility with grill placement
- Easier setup without needing a gas line
- Ability to move the grill if needed
You’ll need to swap out propane tanks when they’re empty, but this option is great for properties without natural gas service—or for owners who want a portable solution.
Powerful Cooking with 82,000 BTUs
The S48T isn’t just big—it’s powerful, too. It produces 82,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units), giving you the heat you need to sear steaks, cook fast, and keep the grill hot even on cold days.
This kind of power is ideal for group cooking. Whether you’re grilling for a crowd or just a few people, the S48T can handle it.
Safety and Certification
We know safety is critical in shared spaces. That’s why the S48T is ETL/INTERTEK approved. This certification means the grill has been tested for quality and safety, giving you peace of mind as a property owner.
Easy Access to Manuals and Documentation
Need help with installation or use? No problem. The owner’s manual and other documents are available for free download on our website. Whether you’re setting it up for the first time or looking for maintenance tips, help is always just a click away.
