Kathleen;

    As for foot the commercial fire suppression system I would suspect
    that it is overkill by quite a bit as the types of fire which you
    might have will be very small compared to a large vat of grease
    which these systems are designed to stop, But discuss your needs
    with your local fire department, they should be able to inform you
    as to what is needed. The hood and if recommended the fire
    suppression system should be expandable to cover your need for a
    larger area, look for any maintenance tags left and call the company
    who last worked on it, or look for a local company who deals in this
    type of equipment for professional help. 

    As for the safest fuel I would suggest switching to natural gas
    since it is available, this way there aren't any tanks of flammable
    gas to deal with, it should also prove to be cheaper in the long
    run, You might need to add a compressor to raise the gas pressure,
    but the gas company might be able to install a higher pressure meter
    for you, just be sure to tell them that you will be using a very low
    flow rate, or the wrong meter might be installed, not a safety
    problem, but rather a potential billing problem. I think I would be
    inclined to look at the compressor first.
