Barbecue grill placement rules on a plot

United States · Auxiliary · usually lightweight

At a single-family home a BBQ grill is largely unrestricted, but the fire code keeps charcoal/open-flame grills 10 ft from combustible construction in multi-unit settings — always leave clear space around the grill.

Placement rules

A brazier has a smaller fire-safety envelope than an open campfire, but still needs a clear area.

Fire safety

Fire-safety distances between buildings and open-fire rules.

Fire gap between houses
Grill to combustible construction 10 ft (IFC §308.1.4; 1–2 family dwellings exempt) NY State / IFC §308.1.4 — Open-flame cooking devices near combustible construction

Important limitation

The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
