According to a recent survey from the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, over 60% of U.S. grillers use propane as their fuel. Propane is the gold standard for barbecuing. That’s true not only for households but also for restaurants.
If you need to cook over a clean, hot flame in an outdoor setting, propane grills are the way to go! Barbecue restaurants and steakhouses with large outdoor spaces, catering companies and any eatery that needs to cook top-tier cuisine without an electrical or natural gas connection can always turn to a propane grill setup.
In Schuylkill County and throughout our extensive Pennsylvania and Maryland service area, Tevis Energy handles propane deliveries and cylinder exchanges for commercial customers. If you have a grill or other propane cooking equipment, we’ll ensure it stays fueled.
Propane is a favorite fuel for grilling because it delivers fast, powerful heat with impressive efficiency. Even better, that heat is easy to control — simply turn a knob to adjust the flame with precision.
Unlike charcoal, propane won’t leave behind a smoky or chemical taste, so your food’s natural flavors shine through. It also burns cleanly, producing very low emissions and minimal particulate matter. That helps maintain better air quality around your cooking area. Add in its affordability and domestic availability, and propane becomes a smart, cost-effective choice for restaurants.
When your business is equipped with propane, you unlock a wide range of high-performance cooking appliances. Many commercial kitchens rely on propane to fuel essentials like fryers, ovens, griddles, cooktops and steamers.
These appliances are known for their efficiency and durability, often delivering years of reliable service. High-efficiency propane units typically outperform electric alternatives in both energy savings and cooking performance. They also give chefs greater control over heat levels, which is critical for consistency and quality. Another major benefit? Commercial propane systems continue operating even during power outages, helping your kitchen stay productive when others may be forced to shut down.
Propane’s versatility extends well beyond cooking. In busy commercial kitchens, dependable hot water is a must, and propane water heaters excel by providing faster recovery rates than many electric models. This ensures you always have the hot water needed for cleaning and sanitation.
You can also rely on propane for laundry systems, backup generators and other essential equipment that keep your operation running smoothly. Beyond the kitchen, propane enhances the dining experience itself. Outdoor patio heaters, ambient lighting, fire pits and indoor fireplaces all create a warm, inviting atmosphere that guests appreciate.
