The SB16 Commercial Grill: Built for Heavy Use & Easy Upkeep
As the winter months progress and snow begins to fall, outdoor picnics and summer barbecues may seem far away. Yet for many park and campground directors, this quieter season is the ideal time for planning, maintenance, and upgrades.
With attendance down and schedules more flexible, winter offers the perfect window to assess your facilities, plan repairs, and order new site equipment in preparation for the busy season ahead.
By placing orders during the colder months, you can align production and delivery with the thawing ground and warmer weather, ensuring your installations are complete and ready before guests return.
Among the many site amenities that enhance visitor experience, few are as iconic and functional as the outdoor grill. And when it comes to dependable outdoor cooking, Kay Park’s SB16 Grill stands as one of the most trusted and best-selling models in our catalog.
The SB16: A Proven Standard for Parks and Campgrounds
The SB16 Outdoor Grill has earned its reputation as a classic fixture in parks, campgrounds, and recreational areas nationwide. Known for its durability, ease of use, and long lifespan, this model embodies the quality craftsmanship and American-made reliability that Kay Park Recreation is known for.
Designed to endure both heavy use and the elements, the SB16 provides a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution that keeps guests coming back season after season.
Each SB16 grill is built from heavy-duty steel and protected with high-heat paint, providing superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and weather damage. The grill’s precision-welded construction adds strength and stability, ensuring it can withstand years of frequent use in public spaces. From summer camp cookouts to family reunions, this grill performs reliably through countless meals and changing conditions.
Built to Withstand the Elements
Outdoor grills face constant exposure to heat, moisture, and temperature changes—conditions that can quickly wear down lesser products. The SB16’s design minimizes those risks through thoughtful engineering and durable materials.
- Weather Resistance: The high-heat enamel coating prevents rust, UV damage, and moisture intrusion. Even after seasons of exposure, the grill maintains its finish and structural integrity.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from thick, industrial-grade steel, the SB16 resists warping under high heat and heavy use. Its robust firebox ensures years of service in your park.
- Secure Mounting Options: Available in both surface-mount and in-ground post configurations, the SB16 offers flexibility and long-term stability. Once installed, it resists tipping and shifting, even in high-traffic areas.
These design features combine to deliver years of dependable performance, even under the most demanding park and campground conditions.
Easy to Use, Simple to Maintain
One of the SB16’s strongest advantages is its straightforward, user-friendly design. The adjustable grate allows users to control cooking temperatures easily, while the open-air layout and 360-degree rotation promote efficient airflow for even heating.
For park and campground staff, maintenance is simple and efficient, saving time and resources while keeping equipment ready for guests.
Here are a few easy maintenance tips to extend your grill’s life:
- Routine Cleaning: Remove ashes and debris after each use to maintain airflow and reduce corrosion.
- Seasonal Deep Cleaning: At the end of each season, clean with a grill brush and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry.
- Inspect Mounts and Hardware: Check annually for tightness and stability. Replace worn components as needed.
- Protective Measures: During long off-seasons, cover the grill or apply a light coat of oil to the grate to prevent rust.
By following these steps, your SB16 will maintain its appearance and performance for many years, making it one of the most cost-effective, reliable site amenities available.
Designed for Every Outdoor Setting
From municipal parks and state campgrounds to beach pavilions and picnic shelters, the SB16 fits seamlessly into a wide variety of outdoor environments. Its compact footprint and rugged post-mount design make placement easy near shelters, trails, or picnic areas.
Multiple units can be installed for group use, accommodating everything from family reunions to large community cookouts.
