Grill Shut-Off Timers Promote Safety and Convenience

Imagine this scenario: you're enjoying a barbecue with friends, and you step away from the grill to chat or grab something from indoors. Hours later, you realize the gas was still on and could've caused a dangerous situation. This is precisely why a grill timer is a must-have feature on all PGS T-Series commercial grills and can also be added to other models as an optional accessory.

Gas Shut-Off Grill Timers

These timers are often referred to as shut-off grill timers, fuel safety shutoffs, or automatic shut-off valves. In a PGS grill, this feature is known as FuelStop®. It automatically stops the gas flow after an hour, ensuring the grill switches off even if you forget to manually turn it off. No longer will you have to stress about whether the gas valve was left open, wasting money and creating hazards. Whether it's an unattended flame or a dangerous gas buildup, the grill takes care of these concerns for you.

The gas flow shut-off timer is a simple dial that can be set for up to 60 minutes. If your meal requires more time, simply adjust the dial again. This feature is particularly popular among property managers in apartment complexes and condominiums, where many residents use natural gas grills. It eliminates the need for constant monitoring to ensure all grills are turned off at the end of the day.

Even if a forgetful resident neglects to shut off the gas, the shutoff timer will do it automatically. This peace of mind allows everyone to focus on enjoying their time outdoors rather than worrying about potential dangers.

With PGS T-Series commercial grills, the gas shut-off timer is seamlessly integrated into the control panel. For those with residential grills, it can be purchased separately and easily installed.

Other Grill Accessories

Outdoor grills are one of the most cherished appliances for homeowners. There's nothing quite like gathering with loved ones to share delicious food. A top-tier grill enhances the experience by providing versatility and convenience. While basic grilling—burgers, steaks, and the like—is always enjoyable, adding accessories can elevate your outdoor cooking to new heights.

With the right tools, the possibilities are endless. From vegetables like asparagus and zucchini to more complex dishes like kabobs and stir-fries, and even desserts, your grill can become a multi-functional kitchen. The key is having the right equipment to make the most of your cooking space.

High-quality tools are essential for a successful grilling session. Brushes, tongs, spatulas, and other accessories not only improve performance but also last longer. Additionally, side burners allow you to prepare side dishes without leaving the comfort of your outdoor cooking area. Shelves and storage drawers provide ample workspace and organization, keeping everything within reach.

For those looking to enhance their grilling experience further, there are some standout accessories worth considering.

Lift-Assist Grill Handle

Opening and closing the grill lid shouldn't be a hassle, but sometimes it can be tricky—especially if you're cooking at an awkward angle or dealing with physical limitations. The lift-assist grill handle solves this issue beautifully.

Specifically designed for PGS grills, the lift-assist handle sits alongside the grill cover and features a padded grip. Simply grab it and give it a gentle twist. Unlike the main handle, it stays in place until the lid is fully opened, eliminating the risk of burns from hot surfaces. Even if you're not injured, using this accessory makes the entire process smoother and more comfortable.

Infrared Rotisserie Burner

Expanding your culinary repertoire is easier than ever with an infrared rotisserie burner. While traditional grilling relies on flame heat, infrared technology offers a more intense, controllable heat source. Infrared heats up faster, sears food efficiently, and is perfect for thicker cuts of meat.

With the rotisserie slowly turning, you can achieve perfectly cooked roasts, whole chickens, veggie baskets, and more. Infrared rotisseries are also more energy-efficient, reducing gas consumption compared to conventional burners. Many chefs appreciate having the flexibility to switch between radiant and flame heat based on the occasion.

Grill Island

Mounting options for grills vary widely, from portable carts to custom-built countertops. If space is limited, a grill island provides a practical alternative. PGS collaborates with Gensun to offer prefabricated grill islands that combine functionality with style.

Equipped with side shelves and generous storage beneath in the form of cabinets and drawers, a grill island creates a dedicated outdoor workspace. You'll have ample room for preparation, cooking, and serving—all within easy reach of your grill.
