BQG inside Lanai
 

Due to the massive amount of rain this year I consulted members of TOTV about having my gas grill inside the lanai. Consensus was ,NOT A PROBLEM. I moved mine in many months ago and as usual, the information was correct. Not even the slightest staining to the ceiling. With a distance of about two feet from screen, when the grill is at its hottest, heat dissipates completely before reaching the screen. Using my hand as a gauge, I can’t even feel warm from the grill.

After Action Report:
It is now an absolute treat to step though the sliding glass doors, check on or retrieve dinner without any discomfort. Thanks TOTV’s. Posters.

Invite us over......................we are hungry.

Jim, I have a Camp Chef wood fired pellet grill and have it inside my Lanai. I often do long slow smokes cooking brisket, pulled pork, pizzas, Salmon, etc. My lanai is higher than many, (ceilings about 11.5 foot high). I often do 15 -17 hour cooks with ZERO problems. My grill is about 3 feet from my screening.

I use a wifi wireless thermometer that constantly tells my iphone my grill and my meat temperature, and alerts me if there is a problem with my temps either too high or too low.

Never an issue, and I would not do it any other way.

You're welcome. Glad to be of help. Not only is there no discomfort with our BBQ grill under the lanai roof, I stay dry when it rains. Well, mostly dry when the wind bring the rain in towards the grill.

I guess I would have been on the other side of this coin. When we purchased our house the former owners had a grill inside the lanai. There was grease and “smoke residue” all over the siding. Took a lot of elbow grease to get the siding clean. I would not have any type of grill on the lanai.

People also reported on here that rats chewed through their screens to get to the grill.
After reading that we decided not to try it.

Hummm! That’s a good point. If I ever have a chew through I will report it here and have T&D replace the screen panel.
