Stainless Steel BBQs for Apartments, Condos, and Resorts
6 minute read | Grills

Grilling outdoors is a timeless activity that brings people together, whether at home or on vacation. There’s something special about the flavor and experience of cooking food on a barbecue. For multi-family properties like apartments and condos, or temporary stay properties like resorts and hotels, having durable and reliable patio barbecues is a fantastic way to provide added convenience for residents and guests and enhance the outdoor spaces.
When it comes to selecting the perfect barbecue for your property, stainless steel barbecues stand out as the ultimate choice. In this blog, we’ll explore why stainless steel barbecues are ideal for patio spaces, the advantages they offer, and how they can improve the grilling experience for everyone.
Why Choose a Patio Barbecue?
Barbecuing is more than just a cooking method—it’s an experience. Whether residents are grilling a quick dinner on a weeknight or guests are enjoying a leisurely barbecue on vacation, having access to a patio barbecue makes outdoor cooking accessible and enjoyable.
Gas and electric barbecues are far more efficient than traditional open fires or charcoal grills. They heat up quickly, maintain consistent temperatures, and are easier to clean, making them perfect for patios. Additionally, gas and electric barbecues eliminate smoke and soot, ensuring a more pleasant environment for nearby residents or guests.
The Need for Durability
Patio barbecues are exposed to the elements year-round. Rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on grills made from less durable materials. This is why corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel are essential. Stainless steel ensures the longevity of the barbecue, saving property owners the hassle and cost of frequent replacements.
What Makes Stainless Steel Special?
Stainless steel is an alloy, which means it’s a blend of metals designed to offer superior strength and durability. Here are some key features of stainless steel:
- Rust and Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel’s ability to resist rust makes it ideal for outdoor use, where barbecues are exposed to moisture.
- Lightweight Yet Strong: Stainless steel offers the strength of iron without the heaviness, making it easier to install and handle.
- Sleek Appearance: The polished, metallic look of stainless steel is modern and attractive, adding aesthetic value to any patio space.
- Stainless steel barbecues are generally larger than cast aluminum models and are built to last. While they cost more due to the material and size, the investment pays off with durability, functionality, and an appealing look.
Fuel Options for Stainless Steel Barbecues
Stainless steel barbecues offer versatility with three main fuel options: natural gas, propane, and electricity. Each fuel type has its own benefits, making it easy to find the right fit for your property:
Natural Gas Stainless Steel Barbecues
- Require a direct connection to the property’s gas line.
- Eliminates the need for fuel tanks.
- Provides consistent heat with no need for refueling.
Propane Stainless Steel Barbecues
- Use portable fuel tanks that can be swapped out when empty.
- Ideal for properties without a natural gas connection.
- Allow flexibility in barbecue placement.
Electric Stainless Steel Barbecues
- Plug into a standard NEMA 6-30 outlet.
- Eco-friendly and pass most green energy certifications.
- Perfect for properties prioritizing sustainability.
