BBQ Grills

Alternatives? Legality? I want to build a natural gas line. I live in an 850 sq ft condo with a 250 sq ft. terrace on the 3rd floor. Does anybody know a plumber out there who will do it??

Plumbers don't do it. Gas people who don't want want to lose their license won't do it either.

The grill you're going to put on a 250 sqft terrace doesn't justify a gas line. We go through about 2 LP tanks/year and we grill about once/week. There are several services who'll deliver the tanks to you in Manhattan for about $40/tank, or you can go to brooklyn and get them for less.

zizizi, do you have the name and phone number of that service?

Google is your friend.

First talk to the Fire Department about requirements. Someone I know was able to put a legal grill on a Manhattan roof garden, but only with a natural gas line, and only with certain clearances from combustible materials.

Also, of course, your condo's bylaws/house rules might prohibit grilling on your terrace, because of the annoyance of smoke entering other apartments and/or fire hazard.
