Natural Gas Grills: Perfect for Condos and Apartments

6 minute read | Grills

Having a shared outdoor space in a condo or apartment complex is a great way to foster a sense of community. Imagine this: a patio equipped with a natural gas grill. While individual residents can certainly enjoy their own grills, it's something special when families come together for good food and great company. A communal grill creates an atmosphere of togetherness that truly enhances the sense of community living. Whether you live in a duplex, a condo, an apartment, a timeshare, or a resort, there’s nothing quite like a natural gas (NG) grill to make people feel right at home.

The Benefits of Natural Gas Grills

Gas grills can run on either natural gas or liquid propane. Propane has its advantages, especially in terms of portability. However, there are unique benefits to using natural gas, particularly when the grill is intended for use by multiple groups and individuals.
  • Natural gas is cost-effective. If your building already has a gas supply, adding an NG grill won't significantly increase your utility bills. After all, NG powers other household appliances like ovens, dryers, and water heaters. Adding a grill is a minor addition.
  • Natural gas is safe and efficient. Once connected, it burns cleanly without producing harmful fumes or ashes.
  • Natural gas is widely available in North American homes, apartments, and condos. Some builders even include outdoor gas hookups as standard in new constructions. If there isn’t already a gas line in the desired location, a professional installer can easily connect it to your existing gas supply.
  • NG cooking is hassle-free. You never have to worry about running out of gas since there’s no tank to refill. This is especially beneficial when multiple groups will be using the grill. No more arguments over whose turn it is to replace the tank or who used up the last bit of fuel. With natural gas, you never have to stop mid-preparation due to a lack of fuel.

Variety in Mounting Options for NG Grills

It’s true that you can’t simply pick up an NG grill and move it around like a propane grill. Once you’ve chosen a location for your NG grill, that’s where it stays. However, there’s plenty of flexibility in how you install it, ensuring it’s both accessible and convenient for everyone who wants to use it. Residential NG grills can be mounted on pedestals, grill carts, or grill islands. They can also be built into outdoor countertops.

Pedestal Mounts

For smaller grills, pedestal mounts are the most affordable and space-efficient option. Like most grills, pedestal-mounted models can be covered to protect them from the elements. These grills work well in buildings with limited patio space or multiple common areas. You might opt for several pedestal grills on larger patios, where it’s practical to provide multiple NG connections. It’s common to see larger complexes like apartments and condos set up one or more grilling areas with a few pedestal grills arranged in a semi-circle to accommodate the maximum number of residents.

Grill Carts

Grill carts are another excellent option for smaller patios or for setting up several grills on a larger one. These carts not only house the grill but also provide side shelves and extra storage beneath the cooking surface. Their stylish appearance enhances your patio, while the ample workspace makes cooking a breeze. Like pedestal grills, they can be arranged in similar configurations.

Built-In NG Grills

If possible, integrating your gas grill into an outdoor countertop is the ultimate choice. If there isn’t an existing structure, you’ll need to construct an outdoor countertop for your grill. While this requires effort and investment, it offers unparalleled beauty and design control. You choose the color, the material, and the overall look. An attractive built-in outdoor grill is a fantastic selling point for attracting new condo buyers and apartment renters. It becomes a natural meeting spot for gatherings, big or small.

Grill Islands

If you lack an outdoor countertop and don’t have the space or budget to add one, an outdoor grill island is a viable alternative. These are typically designed for a specific grill model. Transforming the grill into a complete food preparation station, they provide an attractive countertop along with ample storage and prep space. Residents will appreciate the convenience and enjoyment of grilling on a grill island.

Which Mounting Option Is Right For You?

Each option has its merits. Ultimately, the best choice depends on the size and layout of your outdoor space and how you expect it to be used. Regardless of how you mount it, there’s hardly anything better than a natural gas grill for affordability, ease of use, safety, and the sheer joy of stress-free outdoor cooking.
