Default Gas Grill Safety Questions

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.

Default Gas Grill Safety Questions

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.

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.

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.

Do you have a link to one of these grills? 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.

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.
