pretty typical to have cooking stuff downstairs. Companies will normally have bbq for the ramp every now and then or as a reward for hitting certain metrics etc.
I hope this doesn't scare you too much, but quite a bit of GSE runs on larger propane tanks that they *gasp* store on the ramps. but please, let DL know, I'm sure someone would love the laugh. Still that NBBQDL is so cool. Makes me wish I was a Tech Ops engineer just to be able to design and build that for fun. And it even looks more comfortable inside than a CR2. |

If the OP is so worried about safety and environment they may want to research why the PHX terminal skytrain which has the highest bridge in the USA goes above ground versus underground. Can you say "UNDERGROUND LEAKING JET FUEL PLUME"? You have to love how some things are right below your feet.

I think it's great. Glad they can do stuff like that and they don't have to put everything back into storage somewhere every time they use it. And PHX is a fantastic outstation.

Would hope there's not a propane tank behind those grill doors. If so that would seem to be a bigtime safety violation and issue.
I'd consider reporting that to DL/PHX airport authorities because if there is a propane tank in that grill a number of things could transpire -- all of which have bad endings. Can't be too careful. Ever been in an oil refinery? BBQ grill outside of every control room. And millions of gallons of flammables on site. Oh my! :eek: BTW... you do know that many of the vehicles on the apron (apart from the airplanes) might be propane powered too... right? |

This thread has exceeded expectations (admittedly they weren't that high to begin with).
Another former ramper here. Yes, we eat and have lives too. We even cookout sometimes (I can't think of a station I ever worked at that didn't have a grill). You might also see us playing (touch) football or playing catch on the ramp during downtime. On occasion we would play some "bagroom baseball", which sounds scarier than it is. It's essentially whiffle ball played in the bagroom. |

At least you admitted you didn't read the thread before adding nothing.

To answer the OP's question, it's more convenient to grill the customers' checked bags right on the ramp. <sarcasm>

Or did you think someone snuck it in in the middle of the night and parked it in plain public view hoping no one would notice or see it? |

Below the Jetway at Delta's gate F6 in PHX is this gas grill.

Not worked up at all.
Just never saw one before on any ramp at any airport in decades. |

Aww, I just found out NBBQDL doesn't fly...now wouldn't that be cool!?!?!

I work as a nurse and on the weekends we would crockpot cook in our tiny nurses kitchen , when we had hot dogs and sauerkraut cooking, would get comments from visitors and patients saying " smells like a german deli" . Lol . Team building/team unity/team bonding is a good thing no matter where you work
