North Carolina State Fire Code prohibits the use of gas or charcoal
grills within 10 feet of any combustible material. Use of these types of
grills is also prohibited on balconies, etc. Of course, this only
applies to multifamily housing.

Our state fire code prohibits BBQ Gas Grills on balconies in apartments
or within a specific number of feet from any opening into a building (5
or 6, I think, don't have my code handy).  

In addition, we require prior notification for one - including those
hosted by our food services, and provide portable fire extinguishers for
it and have our patrol units pay special attention to them.

The big problem is tail gate parties during football game season.

Hello all,
Barbecues are becoming a problem and we need to regulate their use. Does
anyone have a policy for use of barbecues by students living in
residence halls? Does anyone ban the use of barbecues on campus?
