This is already a law in a large number of municipalities in the U.S. Obviously it is not the grills fault but the idiot users that are not attentive to their grilling.

Yep. It is the rule at the complex I live in now.

There was only one nitwit who charred the support beam for the balcony but the manager was told that she couldn't just tell him that he couldn't have a grill while the rest of us used ours so we all are grill-less on our patios.

We do have a small area where we can grill that is away from the building.

It should be 10 feet from the OVERHANG

Whats under the grill shouldn't count, grass can burn just as easily as wood.. and some porches are made of concrete for goodness sakes.
