What River Forest does
to a grill.

It is known for early-20th-century houses in many styles, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Winslow House and other Prairie School designs.

A steam sawmill went up on the east bank of the Des Plaines River in 1831, on land that is now River Forest's western edge.

Keystone Park hosts the Rotary Club's yearly Food Truck Rally.

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.

Premium built-in grill heads

A built-in grill in a custom counter sits in a tight cutout, with an insulated jacket where the maker calls for one, and lifting the head out for valve or manifold work is planned so the stone around it is protected.

Mixed housing

Streets of old and new houses side by side hold grills of every age too, from a decades-old cart with cast burners to a new app-linked grill, and the technician carries parts for both on the same route.

When a grill
cannot wait in River Forest.

In River 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.
