Lynx Grills Announces Launch Of Groundbreaking Gas Grill Safety Technology, FlameTrak™
New Technology Set To Roll Out In Lynx Products Beginning April 2018
DOWNEY, Calif., March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Lynx Grills, Inc., the leader in the design and manufacturing of premium outdoor kitchens, announced the launch of FlameTrak™, a groundbreaking safety technology developed to address and ultimately eliminate gas grill accidents. Through a proprietary system based on flame rectification, FlameTrak uses a special sensor to indicate if a flame's burner is out, attempts to relight it, and then automatically turns off the gas if it is unable to relight after 13 seconds. The Lynx All Trident™ grill will be the first grill to feature the new technology beginning April 2018, setting a new industry standard in gas grill performance and safety. The technology will be rolled out to all Lynx grills and made available to all grill manufacturers in the industry over the next 12-18 months.
"We are thrilled to be able to announce the launch of FlameTrak, a unique technology specifically designed to prevent gas grill accidents," said President of Middleby Residential Scott Grugel, who oversees Lynx Grills. "With FlameTrak, there will be less concern about low pressure, leaks or high winds causing a gas accident in your outdoor kitchen. What's more is that we will not only be rolling this technology out in Lynx grills, but we will be making it available to everyone in the grilling manufacturing world."
Since its launch in 1996, Lynx Grills, headquartered in Downey, CA, has set the standard for design, innovation and engineering excellence in luxury grills and custom outdoor kitchen products, launching the revolutionary SmartGrill by Lynx®, the world's first Wi-Fi enabled, voice-activated grill, to wide acclaim in 2015. Led by Grugel and Lynx Grills Vice President of Engineering Tim French, FlameTrak has been in development for 2.5 years and is the world's only gas grill safety system to date.
The FlameTrak safety system will be made available April 2018 in the Lynx All Trident grill in two models: Countertop/Built In ($5,439) and Freestanding ($6,579). The FlameTrak safety system is patent pending.
