What Wilmette does
to a grill.

The North Shore Channel, finished in 1909, created Wilmette Harbor, and the made land became much of Gillson Park.

Voters created the Wilmette Park District in January 1908, 174 to 37.

Before settlement the village's land was forest, with high bluffs along the lakeshore.

On a lake

Lake wind builds through the afternoon and can snuff a burner turned low, so lakeside grills do better with a wind guard and the back of the hood turned toward the water, and a burner that keeps dying is checked there before the valve.

Older housing stock

Mature trees over older gardens drop leaves and twigs into grill hoods and grease trays, and a tray full of dry debris under a hot firebox is how many grease fires begin, so it is emptied on every visit here.

Family houses

Family yards often put the grill near a play area, so the hood handle, the side shelves and knobs a child could turn get a second look, and closing the tank valve at the end of each cook is the simplest safeguard.

When a grill
cannot wait in Wilmette.

In Wilmette 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.
