Howdy folks, quick (possible legal) query... so here's the good weather finally and what's the first thing you do? Barbeque! Saturday evening just after I lit the barbeque on the balcony (2nd floor of a 3 floor building), I hear a voice from above (tenant above that is, no religious/easter jokes here!) saying that you're only allowed to use an electric barbeque on a balcony because the smoke travels up and goes in the windows of the person above you?!?! Is this right? I mean it only smokes for about ten minutes untill it heats up, maybe she was just hungry.
That is correct. You may only use a gas or electric BBQ on your balcony, not coals. Them be the rulez.
do you have a hof behind your appartment? If so, use it for charcol grilling. I was at DDBug's last night and we grilled in the hof with lots of friends, and do that often and get no complaints. My building has a roof terrace, and I have Electric grilled up there. Good luck in finding a 'grill safe' location.
cheers for the replies lads, ill sort something out!
The law was actually recently changed for inner-city Munich. You used to be allowed to bbq on your balcony using charcoal, but not longer. I still do it though
That said, I don't think the neighbors were too pleased about our little easter sunday BBQ. Though more so because of the noise I think.
what about if there is no one above you (ie you live on the top floor) can you still charcoal bbq then?
I think the neighbour upstairs will have to mysteriously disappear, the day before I serve some tasty barbeque, whistlestop cafe style!
Hm, any way I can get my neighbors to stop smoking on their balcony, then?
So back in the States I would grill more than cooking on the stove or in the oven. Where can I get a gas grill around here and where/how easy is it to refile the tanks. Haven't seen any of the "drop off" places like in the States.
We bought our grill in the States - however, we did see some grills at OBI
Hi all, I was just thinking about buying a little BBQ and setting it up on my balcony...but the question I have is whether or not it is allowed...Is there any bi-law prohibiting the use of BBQ's on balcony's or does it depend on the owner of the building or the apartment??? As always, all your advice is apprecaited. Cheers,
See this topic.
thanks...i think that solves the problem...now i just gotta get a BBQ. Cheers
