Are you someone who enjoys grilling during the summer months? Many homeowners love the flavor that grilling brings to their meals, along with the social aspect of hosting warm-weather barbecues. But when winter rolls around, it’s not nearly as enjoyable to fire up the grill due to the chilly temperatures making it uncomfortable to cook outside. Perhaps you’re someone who doesn’t currently own a functional grill or your existing one is dirty, unsafe, or outdated. It’s time to upgrade your old grill with a modern alternative. A contemporary grill can make winter grilling a breeze.

The Solution: Upgrade Your Grill and Add Patio Heaters

The ideal solution to this winter grilling dilemma is to upgrade your patio grill and incorporate patio heaters. This approach offers the best of both worlds. You can utilize advanced grilling techniques to prepare meats, fish, vegetables, and even fruits with a new, durable residential grill. Additionally, adding an outdoor heating system ensures that grilling outdoors remains comfortable year-round. Top-tier patio grills come equipped with a variety of features to enhance your grilling experience. Combining the right grill with high-quality patio heaters enables you to savor your favorite BBQ dishes anytime you wish. Here are some tips to help you get started:

The Best Patio Grill & Patio Heater Combo

No matter the size of your patio, you can find a residential grill that fits perfectly within your space. PGS offers two exceptional residential grill lines. The A-Series grills feature cast aluminum casings and stainless steel internal components.

Both grill lines are crafted for residential use and can handle extended periods of usage effortlessly, making outdoor grilling a delightful experience. Your guests will be impressed by your grilling prowess, and you’ll relish the distinct flavors achieved through grilling.

Legacy Grills

Legacy grills cater to beginners and seasoned backyard chefs alike. These grills are versatile enough for novices to use without formal training yet provide ample flexibility for experienced grill masters. They are engineered to operate on either natural gas or liquid propane and are built specifically for residential patios. Their diverse features make them enjoyable additions to any home setting.
