Hey folks, I’m Randy with BBQGuys.com.
Today we are taking a look at the PGS-T commercial series of gas grills.
The one we have here today is the 36 inch model.
Let’s check it out.
PGS has a long history in the grill industry of producing well- constructed grills with
quality performance.
When they set out to build PGS-T series commercial gas grills, they reached out to property owners
of places like apartment complexes and hotels.. to see what design features were most important
for multi user settings.
To ensure the most safety & fuel efficiency, PGS decided to include a fuel-stop gas flow
timer.
For any gas to flow, the timer must be set.
Once the timer has started, the burners can then be lit.
This is a great feature to have for commercial settings, in the case that burners may accidentally
get left on.
Many homeowners with non commercial spaces enjoy this safety feature as well.
Because the gas flow timer is a permanent part of the grill,it is ETL certified, reducing
the liability associated with combining a grill with an add-on timer.
To ensure clarity & longevity of the ignition instructions, they are laser etched on the
control panel.
This is important in a commercial setting, allowing it to hold up to frequent cleanings.
And to ensure control knobs do not get lost or stolen, PGS designed them to be anti-theft.
This means they can not be removed by simply pulling on them like other grills.
Because of the frequent use of common area grills, PGS uses heavy duty stainless steel
construction.
This allows them to warrant all components of PGS-T series grills in commercial settings
for 1 year.
The cooking grids of the S36T measure 36 inches wide by 20 inches deep.
It’s worth noting, the full width of this grill is 39 inches, allowing the cooking grids
to measure a true 36 inches.
The cooking grids are 304 stainless steel rods & are designed with Vari-Grid spacing,
giving you areas to cook on that have tighter spacing than typical grill grates.
This is nice to have when grilling things like small veggies & shrimp.
For maximum durability, the grids are thick stainless steel rods.. giving you more contact
area for caramelization.
Under the cooking grids, you will find their ceramic moon rock tamer system.
This provides full coverage over the burners beneath, helping to control big flare ups
& radiate heat.
I found this created a nice crust on these burgers in the areas between the grids.
The moon rocks are flat on both sides, allowing you to flip them over to burn them off when
cleaning is needed.
For the occasion you need to access your burners, the rocks rest on 304 stainless steel trays..
for quick removal.
Under the moon rock trays of the s36T, you will find 304 stainless steel U-shaped burners.
They are lit by continuous spark ignition & produce a combined total of 67,000 BTU’s
of cooking power… definitely enough heat to put a nice sear on a steak.
For backup ignition, PGS has you covered with a flash tube, as well as crossover bars between
the burners.
When it comes to temperature monitoring, the PGS-T series has a side wall mounted thermometer..
allowing you to get a more accurate reading, being closer to the grates.
For added insulation, the hood of the grill is double walled.
Cleaning is made simple with a slide out stainless steel drip pan.
Now we’ll perform the xrf test on the s36T gas grill.
The exterior of the grill, burners, firebox, tamer trays, and cooking grids tested to be
304 stainless steel.
The inside of the lid & drip pan tested to be 443 stainless steel.
It’s worth noting, PGS offers several size & configuration options within the T series
commercial.
in addition to the all stainless models, PGS also makes cast aluminum T Series commercial
grills.
These are another very popular choice for multi-user spaces.
Thanks for watching today guys.
