Spruce Up Your Patio Space with an Outdoor Barbecue Grill

6 minute read | Grills

An outdoor space remains incomplete unless you have a way to prepare food for friends, neighbors, customers, and family members. While it’s certainly nice to sit outside on a lovely day or under a moonlit sky, having to get up and go inside for a bite to eat interrupts that experience. Not having a way to prepare succulent choice cuts of meat and delicious veggies also means you and your companions will prepare those delights indoors and haul them outside. Those menu options also won’t have the locked-in grilling flavor people desire.

A far better alternative than a diminished outdoor experience is to include a stainless steel BBQ grill and enjoy an enhanced quality of life. After all, wasn’t that the point of purchasing a property with a patio or building one in the first place? If so, it’s time to complete that space with a high-quality outdoor patio grill.

The only question remaining is which type of outdoor barbecue grill best furthers your goals and interests. The AEI Corp. distributes three distinct lines of stainless steel PGS grills that deliver unique benefits to any residential or commercial space. It may be in your best interest to consider one of the industry-leading Legacy, T-Series, or A-Series models to improve any outdoor space.

What You Should Know About PGS Legacy Grills

The Legacy barbecue line is fully stainless steel and ranked among the most reliable products on the market today. The residential options, such as the Pacifica, can be mounted on a portable base that houses a liquid propane tank. Ranging from mid-sized to large models, a Legacy barbecue grill can deliver 45,000 to upwards of 102,000 BTUs.

What’s comforting for homeowners about the Legacy series is that you have the ability to select a portable mounted grill that can later be installed permanently. Once fixed into a larger outdoor kitchen, the same unit can be connected to an existing natural gas source. That flexibility tends to be rare in the outdoor patio grill industry.

On the commercial side of the Legacy barbecue line, the products are designed to be permanently integrated into counter spaces and full kitchen layouts, while retaining the liquid propane or natural gas options. Residential communities, resorts, restaurants, and other hospitality operations generally lean toward installing this line. It’s durability, and consistent heat makes it a reliable product that stands the test of time. The ability to enhance these built-in barbecue grills with the following accessories is also enticing.

  • Variable Spaced Cooking Grid
  • Shut-Off Timers
  • Infrared Rotisserie Burner
  • Drawer & Cabinet Space for Storage
  • Cart Mounting Options Available
  • Can Be Permanently Installed in an Outdoor Countertop
  • Side Shelves
  • Stainless Steel Warming Racks
  • Stainless Steel “H” Burners
  • Spacious Cooking Surface

Another top-tier option this PGS line offers is ordering it with as a complete outdoor cooking island. What AEI is offering through the PGS line is not something homeowners, business decision-makers, and property managers are going to find an equal to at a commonplace retail outlet.

What You Should Know About the PGS T-Series Grills

The PGS T-Series tends to be utilized more in commercial settings than residential ones. Constructed with heavy-duty cast aluminum, they also range in size and BTUs from 30,000 to 67,000. This model can be ordered with full stainless steel variations as well as models made with stainless steel parts, such as the burners, cooking grids, and side shelves, among others. The upper and lower casting are generally built from durable commercial-grade aluminum.

Although commercial use tends to position the T-Series as a built-in barbecue grill, it does come with both natural gas and liquid propane fuel source options. One of the things that makes the T-Series attractive is the stainless steel pedestal mounting. In terms of integrating an outdoor patio grill into a somewhat tight space, this minimizes its footprint and delivers more room to move about or place comfortable seating. Like all of the top-of-the-line PGS products, the T-Series can be deftly enhanced with accessorized that include the following.

  • 60-Minute Gas Flow Timers
  • Convenient Stainless Steel Side Shelves
  • Electronic Ignition Switch
  • Pedestal or Cart Mounting Options
  • Can Be Permanently Installed in an Outdoor Countertop
  • Side Shelves
  • Stainless Steel Warming Racks
  • Stainless Steel “H” Burners
  • Spacious Cooking Surface
  • Weather-Resistant Cast Aluminum Castings

The unit also enjoys the ability to be permanently fixed into a countertop or mounted on a portable cart utilizing a liquid propane tank.

What You Should Know About PGS A-Series Grills

Although the PGS A-Series tends to rank among the smaller grills, it remains a robust option in both residential and commercial settings. The A-Series outdoor barbecue grill generates between 30,000 and 40,000 BTUs and is considered relatively inexpensive. If you have recently made the considerable investment into an outdoor patio or living space, the A-Series delivers the same high standard or grill excellence as the other PGS models.

This outdoor patio grill enjoys a cast aluminum lid and basin coupled with stainless steel burners, side shelves, and cooking grids. Like others in this class of industry-leading products, it can also be integrated into an outdoor kitchen setting as a built-in barbecue grill. This allows homeowners and commercial operations to access existing natural gas sources as well as convenient liquid propane tanks. Along with their cost-effectiveness, they provide above-board flexibility that includes the following.

  • Pedestal or Cart Mounting Options
  • Can Be Permanently Installed in an Outdoor Countertop
  • Side Shelves
  • Stainless Steel Warming Racks
  • Stainless Steel “H” Burners
  • Quality Heat Control to Grill, Sear, or Sauté
  • Self-Contained Sparkless Ignition
  • One-Hour Shutoff Timers
  • Permanent Post for Natural Gas Line Connection
  • Foldable Side Shelves
  • Black Cast Aluminum Pedestal Options
  • Weather-Resistant Cast Aluminum Castings

After more than 40 years in the outdoor patio grill sector, the PGS line has a proven reputation throughout North America. Widely considered the industry standard for grill excellence, PGS models are utilized in thousands of residential and commercial patios and outdoor spaces. The enduring stainless steel and cast aluminum construction and state-of-the-art accessories are only equaled by the ability for grill owners to enjoy flexible use.

As a homeowner, business decision-maker, or property manager, your investment into an outdoor living space allows you to enjoy fresh air, starlit skies, host family gatherings, or deliver an enhanced experience for customers and residents. That improvement delivers a qualitative benefit that far exceeds dollars and cents. The next logical step is to transform a passive space into one that can be actively enjoyed. The question isn’t whether or not to spruce up your space with an outdoor patio grill. It’s which PGS grill best spruces up your quality of life.
