Get Your BBQ on at Your Apartment Community During National Grilling Month

We’re in the midst of summer, and what better way to enjoy the spirit of the season than firing up the grill and cooking some delicious food during National Grilling Month. If you live in an apartment, you may not be able to have a grill on your patio or balcony because of local fire codes, but you can opt to use one of your community’s public areas with a grill.

Before using any community grill, it’s recommended that you follow certain guidelines and proper etiquette. 

• Clean the grates as best as you can, even if they look clean already.
• If you come across any ashes, be sure to empty those out so they aren’t a fire hazard.
• Cover the grates with aluminum foil if you’re not comfortable putting meats and vegetables directly on them.
• Be courteous to others and don’t monopolize the grill for long periods of time. Check with your apartment community to see if it requires signing up for grill use time.
• Don’t move the grill. Keep it in the designated area.
• If you have lots of smoke coming from the grill, close the lid or turn down the heat to be considerate to surrounding neighbors who may have the windows open.
• Make sure to clean up after yourself once you’re done.
