Gas Grill Safety Questions
"Charles Pisano" wrote in message ... I have to agree with Donna. Charcoal is the way to go tastewise. I can't see wasting that much money on a device that gives you inferior taste. Might as well cook it in your oven. Snobishness aside, there are many things that can be done an a gas grill that cannot be done in the oven. |

Gas Grill Safety Questions

news:1U%3i.17331 Since you are stuck on the idea that portable propane grills that are intended to be used outdoors away from structures are the only type of propane grill in existence the answer is no. I can't explain to you why you might want a gas fitter to pipe a remote gas supply to a listed residential cooking appliance that happens to be a grill fired by propane. Just because you are not familiar with any other type then the portable variety doesn't mean that no other type exists. Tom Horne Edwin Pawlowski wrote: You seem to be stuck on the idea that the only type of portable grill is for use indoors. Do you ever go to the store and look at he hundreds or brands and styles of outdoor grills offered for sale? The ones on wheels that can be readily moved. That was the type of grill question. You took the thread to indoor portable grills. In any case, portable is just that. Portable, movable, not tied down, easily moved, not stationary. To think a gas fitter is needed for either type of device fueled by a portable tank (be it 10 or 20 pounds) is absurd. Connecting it to a natural gas line brings in a new set of rules not requested by the original poster. Edwin The OP asked for advice on the safety of propane grills used on a deck. All I tried to do was inform him and others that there are safer alternatives to using an ordinary portable propane grill on his deck. There are gas fired grills that are suitable for use at or in a dwelling. The main feature that those units have that the more common portable units do not have is that they have been designed to limit the fuel available to any fire that may occur in the course of using them. The laboratory listed fixed in place units are supplied by a remote supply of fuel that incorporates a remote shut off. The laboratory listed movable ones are designed to be for more difficult to tip over then the common outdoor variety and they will only except a smaller gas cylinder to limit the amount of fuel gas exposed to a cooking fire. I'm at a loss as to why you object to my offering information on a safer choice to the OP and to other readers. What harm does my providing the information do and why does it bug you so much. -- Tom Horne Well we aren't no thin blue heroes and yet we aren't no blackguards to. We're just working men and woman most remarkable like you. |

Let's see if they are a practical replacement for the millions of grills in use. Then the OP can decide for himself. Maybe you will convert the rest of us. |

Try again. Listed Propane fired cooking grills for use in structures are every bit as large and often larger than the portable outdoor units the OP was asking about. They are very commonly used in restaurants that have no natural gas supply. The ones used for the catering industry for cooking indoors are fitted with a cylinder holder for portable ten pound propane cylinders. Edwin Pawlowski wrote: Great, but what do they have to do with the OP's request about outdoor grill safety? Nothing. In my kitchen, I have a propane powered range supplied by two 100 pounds tanks. Big deal, that has nothing to do with outdoor grills. The only grills I've seen for use with small tanks are the table top models and they are not what the OP asked about either. The OP asked about the safety of gas fired grills used on a deck. There are propane grills that are listed as cooking appliances for use in or on a structure. Like the propane range in your kitchen they have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory for safety when used in or on a structure. They can be fueled with a remote supply of propane just the way your kitchen range is or, if it needs to be movable, then they have a connection for a portable cylinder that is configured to prevent the use of cylinders larger then 10 pounds. They look a lot like the more expensive portable outdoor types but they have been tested for use in structures. They are not the table top units that you have alluded to all though they are available as a built in counter top unit. They are the only propane fired grills that are tested for safe use in or on structures. Tom Horne Well we aren't no thin blue heroes and yet we aren't no blackguards to.
