Grill repair in Forest Hills.

Forest Hills' detached houses and Tudor gardens have more room than Manhattan, so families keep full-size propane or natural gas grills, whose igniters and hoses feel the long winter by the time the season opens.

What Forest Hills does
to a grill.

Forest Park, on the neighborhood's southern side, began development in 1895, and the Olmsted firm was hired to plan it the next year.

Forest Hills Gardens, on the southern side, was designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, and the area has many Tudor Revival homes with stucco walls and red clay tile roofs.

Two subway stops opened in 1936, and in the same period single-family houses in Forest Hills were razed to make room for apartment buildings.

A detached Forest Hills house counted as a one- or two-family home may keep up to two 20-pound propane tanks outdoors, whereas its apartment buildings are held to one 16.4-ounce cylinder.

Mixed housing

An older house's newer patio may draw its gas from the same line as the furnace, the water heater and the dryer, and a grill flame that sags when they all run points to an undersized supply rather than a failed grill part.

Family houses

Suburban grills used for weekly family dinners wear their igniters and grates steadily, and grass clippings and leaves drift into the grease tray, which can turn a routine flare-up into a lasting grease fire if the tray is left full.

Balconies and small yards

Tight yards leave the propane tank tucked in the grill's cart right below the firebox, and a hose resting against a hot firebox bottom cracks, so in small spaces the hose is routed and inspected on every visit.

When a grill
cannot wait in Forest Hills.

In Forest Hills 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.
