They usually aren’t, but most apartment complexes and condo associations have their own rules that specify which type of grills are allowed where. Another thing to keep in mind is that placing a grill on a balcony can make it hard to meet the required clearances detailed in the manufacturer’s manual. But if you’re in compliance with fire/housing codes and clearances, go for it! We have a selection of small portable gas grills – and if you find out that gas isn’t allowed but electric grills are, we have a collection of apartment & balcony grills you should check out.
