Grill repair in Park Slope.

Park Slope's brownstone backyards come alive for a short summer of cookouts, and a grill that spends the winter under a cover in a damp garden often greets spring with a stiff knob, a flaking burner or a battery igniter gone silent.

What Park Slope does
to a grill.

Park Slope takes its name from the western slope of Prospect Park, which forms its eastern edge.

Mansions and rowhouses rose in its eastern section in the 1880s, after Prospect Park was completed.

Landmark protection covers much of Park Slope twice over, through a national historic district and a city-designated one.

Grilling in any city park, Prospect Park included, is confined to designated barbecue areas, never under a tree, and propane grills are prohibited there.

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

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.

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.

When a grill
cannot wait in Park Slope.

In Park Slope 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.
