Apartments, condos, resorts, and hotels cater to multiple families at once, making amenities a crucial part of tenant and guest satisfaction. One of the best amenities property owners can offer is outdoor grilling areas. A well-equipped grilling space not only enhances the outdoor experience but also adds value to the property.

Since multiple residents or guests may want to grill at the same time, property managers must carefully plan their outdoor grill installations. While one or two large grills might suffice for smaller properties, installing multiple smaller patio grills can maximize efficiency, ensuring that more families can enjoy grilling at their convenience. Installing multiple smaller grills in a single outdoor grilling area is especially effective for medium and larger multi-family properties.

This is where the T-Series grills come in, particularly the T30 and T40 models. Specifically designed for multi-family settings, these compact yet powerful outdoor gas grills are an excellent solution for apartments, condos, and hospitality properties.

Introducing the T30 and T40 Patio Grills

The T-Series grills are built to meet the needs of multi-unit residential properties. While the series includes larger stainless steel grills, this blog focuses on the cast aluminum T30 and T40 grills, which are designed to be durable, efficient, and easy to install in various outdoor settings.

Multi-family grills that are built to last. The strength and durability of our cast aluminum is one of the defining features of the T30 and T40 grills, their cast aluminum construction provides several advantages over cheaper alternatives:

• Exceptional Durability: The element aluminum is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion making these grills perfect for outdoor use.
• Added Strength: The aluminum for these grills are reinforced with other metals, when cast, to form an alloy that improves strength, scratch resistance, and longevity.
• Lightweight and Sturdy: Unlike other grills made of heavier materials, these grills perform well while being lightweight. This can be especially useful for properties that have rooftop patios that might have to adhere to a certain weight limit.
• Small Stature, High Performance: The T30 & T40 both have a sleek space-saving profile compared to other high-end patio grills. This is helpful when space is limited and for locations that need multiple grills installed in a single grill area.

Both the T30 and T40 grills are available in propane and natural gas versions, allowing property owners to select the best option for their specific needs.

Space-Saving and Multi-Unit Friendly Grills

Space is often a concern for multi-family properties. The compact profile of the T30 and T40 makes them ideal for multi-unit installations. By placing multiple grills in a single grilling area, property owners can ensure that multiple families can grill simultaneously, reducing wait times and improving the overall user experience.

Versatile Mounting Options For Patio Grills

One of the best features of the T30 and T40 grills is their versatile installation options. Depending on the layout and design of their outdoor spaces, property owners can choose from several mounting styles.

Pole Mounted Grills

A pole mount for a grill consists of a simple pole secured to the ground with the grill attached to the top. This is the most cost-effective and space-efficient option, making it a popular choice for apartment complexes and resorts.

Pedestal Grill Mounts

A pedestal mount offers a more substantial look, with a more extensive rectangular base that provides additional stability. Pedestal grills can be bolted down or placed on a base plate for secure installation. This option provides a sturdy, high-end appearance while remaining budget-friendly.

Grill Carts

A grill cart is an excellent choice for properties that prefer mobility. These pedestal-mounted grills with wheel kits allow propane grills to be repositioned as needed (natural gas grills can not be portable and need to be secured in place). This is especially useful for resorts or hotels, where flexibility in outdoor space usage is essential.

2. Cost-Effective Solution: The durability and energy efficiency of these grills make them a long-term investment, reducing maintenance and operational costs.

Multi-Family Grill Accessories That Come Standard With T-Series Grills

Both the T30 and T40 grills come with standard features designed for safety, convenience, and durability for constant daily use in multi-family settings like apartments and condos:

• 60-Minute Gas Shut-Off Timer: Prevents the grill from being accidentally left on, reducing gas waste and ensuring safety—an attractive feature for property managers and insurance providers.
• Stainless Steel Side Shelf (Optional Second Shelf): A stainless steel side shelf provides a convenient workspace for food preparation, plating, and utensil storage. All our grills come with one stainless steel side shelf and a second shelf can be added if desired.
• Self-Contained Continuous Spark Electronic Ignition: Ensures easy and reliable lighting of the grill every time.
• Anti-Theft Control Knobs: Secure knobs prevent tampering or theft, which is especially beneficial in public grilling areas.
• Laser-Etched Control Panel: Ensures that operation instructions remain readable for the grill's lifetime, even with constant use. Grill instructions are simple, clear, and etched directly into the the control panel’s surface to ensure they never fade. This is much better than cheaper grills with printed or painted instructions that will fade with heat and sun exposure.
• Easy Parts Replacement: Our OEM grill parts replacement website allows property owners to quickly and easily replace or repair any component without the hassle of sourcing hard-to-find parts.
• The Differences Between the T30 and T40: While both models share many similarities, the key differences are size and heat output:

Property owners can choose the T30 for smaller outdoor spaces or the T40 for higher-demand areas. Many multi-family properties install a mix of both models to maximize grilling capacity without overcrowding an area.
