What Lake Forest does
to a grill.

Its planners laid roads to limit through traffic, and eastern Lake Forest near the lake remains relatively secluded.

Its estates and houses were designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw, David Adler, Frank Lloyd Wright and others, with landscape work by Frederick Law Olmsted and Jens Jensen.

Charles Sumner Frost designed Lake Forest City Hall, finished in 1898, which first housed the fire department and the library.

Older housing stock

In historic districts the grill usually stands in a walled garden or a side yard where smoke has little room to move, and greasy smoke rolling against old brick or wood siding is reason enough to check clearance and burner settings.

Gated communities

Large lots in gated neighborhoods may set the grill at a pool or a pavilion well away from the house, where closing the gas after cooking is easy to forget, so a visit there confirms the knobs shut fully and the shutoff is easy to reach.

Pool decks and cookouts

Where a backyard is built around a pool and a stone counter, the grill head is the part worked hardest, and its burners, igniters and grates wear on a weekly cycle while the cabinetry around it rarely needs more than cleaning.

When a grill
cannot wait in Lake Forest.

In Lake Forest as anywhere, these four put the people at the grill in danger and mean the gas stays closed until we come: a gas smell at the grill, the hose or the tank, a grease fire that keeps burning with the knobs down, flame curling out behind the control panel, or a knob that turns to off while the burner stays lit.
