Grilling safely on a deck
- Follow the grill manufacturer's clearance distances from railings, siding and overhangs, and check local fire codes; some apartments and HOAs restrict grills on decks.
- Never use charcoal or propane grills under a covered or enclosed porch unless the manufacturer and local code allow it.
- Use a non-combustible or fire-resistant mat under the grill and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
- Composite and PVC decking can be marked by heat and grease; mats and regular cleaning help.
Frequently asked questions
What do you get someone who loves to grill?
A wireless thermometer, a quality tool set, or a deck mat and cover. Big-ticket upgrades include griddles and pellet grills.
What are good grilling gifts under $25?
Instant-read thermometers, rub sets, bristle-free brushes and grill baskets. The section above only shows items Amazon currently lists under $25.
Is it safe to grill on a wood or composite deck?
Many people do, but follow the grill's clearance instructions, use a fire-resistant mat, keep an extinguisher nearby and check local rules.
Pellet grill or griddle: which is a better gift?
A pellet grill suits low-and-slow smoking; a griddle suits breakfasts, smash burgers and stir-fries. Pick the one that matches how they cook.
