Where to put gas grill?
We have our grill on an outside deck in our present home and it just dawned on me that it would be more convenient to have it on the lanai in our new home. Is it dangerous to have a gas grill on a lanai that is enclosed by screens? Hope this isn't a silly question.

JoJo,
I wanted to do the same thing and got told an infatic NO by hubs. If there is a flare up it could start a house fire, and if you have low ceilings on your lanai you might end up with smoke stains on your ceiling. So in my case, cant do it! :( |

Nonie :agree:
I think safety is first and foremost...the outside patio is the safest place. |

JJ: IMO I would never put a gas grill/brickets/whatever on a lanai.
Be sure to give your insurance company a call. If you put it on the lanai and something happened, they may refuse to cover you. Another resource for advice would be the local fire department. |
Re: Where to put gas grill?
I agree with all of the above. I had thought about it too and I've seen some lanai's with them inside. But, realistically, the dangers should have been evident to me and also, I wouldn't want the walls all stained. We live a lot in our lanai and like my hubby said, "you wouldn't put a grill in the living room, would you?" hmmmm, ??? OK, maybe not!
We have ours on the small outdoor patio. |

JoJo...
We also keep our gas grill on a patio adjacent to the lanai. We thought an early project would be to put a birdcage over this patio, 'cause who wants to cook with all these Florida bugs flying around??? Well, after being out there a few times the question became ... what bugs? In reality, there are few bugs flying around and we are perfectly comfortable cooking out 'in the open', even after dusk. Back 'North', as soon as the sun went down, the skeeters came out. Not so, here. |

It would absolutely be a fire hazard! Keep it outdoors!

Re: Where to put gas grill?
Responses are unanimous. I had seen some on lanais but thought better. Outside it will be. Next problem is what kind to buy. I'll figure that out when we get down there. Thanks all.

Re: Where to put gas grill?
I think the ones you see in lanais are just being stored there as the owners are away. Never light one inside a lanai. It is a fire hazard for certain.

Do you keep your gas range outside?

Re: Where to put gas grill?
I have a gas grill -- no tank. Gas pipe through the back patio to the range. Love it.

Re: Where to put gas grill?
My lanai is enclosed with windows that can open the room up completely, and I bought a large George Forman electric grille on a pedestal base which works just fine. No fire hazard and tastes just as good. We also have a rotisserie (electric) there that also is great for roasting.....b |

Barb! I live with my large George Foreman Grill and I have one of those Showtime Rotissaries. "Just set it and forget it" Wow, two great minds! LOL :bigthumbsup:
