Only for storage.

Nah. Needs to be 6-8 feet away from any structure. The radiant heat will đź’Ż warp/melt siding/fascia. From experience.

storage yes ….but firing up the grill in that spot you are asking for a house fire ….

Great advice given. Use the area to store after cool down but crest a path and process to grill away from structures

No. Everything has to be worse case scenario when using your grill.

I wouldn’t simply because of the clearance from the range to the WOOD porch. Flare ups due to grease creating massive flames when flipping burgers and the like will definitely discolour the wood if not heat it up and maybe catch fire.

No.

Ok until you walk away and a grease fire starts up and the wood is on fire

Are you looking to burn your house down?Â

Can you store it there and roll it on the other side of the sidewalk when you use it?

When I plan grill placement, I just try to think of different stupid scenarios I could find myself in. 1. Flare ups 2. I trip on something (don’t want the only place to fall to be on the grill) 3. I somehow knock the grill over. (Extremely unlikely, but better safe than sorry). If I can get past those 3 fuck ups without burning my house or any other structure down, my grill is in a safe space.

For storage yes, to cook, I wouldn’t chance it, grills get hot and siding doesn’t take to that heat level well, plus propane grills have been know to flare up or the propane canister blow from being old and or overheating in a non air circulating area. Past experience

Plus soot build up on the upper roof cover

If the weather was bad I’d grill under there but I keep my grill very clean to avoid grease fires. Otherwise, you have a nice yard there. Why not roll it out on the lawn, pull up a chair and have a cold one while making some delicious BBQ?

Please don’t. I live in a tourist town with alot of condos. Seen several fires because of pits next to walls.

Store it there but move to grill

Portable grill is the answer when there isn’t a lot of space
Bulls_Heeler_Haven
As a someone who actually burned down a huge two story with a wrap around deck… don’t fn do it! The steaks were great, the house fire, not so much. Total loss. Got a cast iron bathtub and a bunch of unusable firearms out of a gun safe out of everything I owned. Let my experience be your lesson.

Its fine as long as its a good quality grill and is attended. I wouldn’t with some cheap grill that flares up all the time. You should gave a fire extinguisher in any case.

You can at the white end close to the stairs
Gweedo1967
It’ll be fine. In about 30 minutes you can do s’mores from the 3rd floor window

If you ever had a grease fire on your grill You would know this is a NO GO
wheelsonhell
The smoke from the grill will turn things black. The siding will start to sag from the heat.

To park, maybe. To use, absolutely not.

No

Yes. Unless you’re an, uh, shall we say, careless person, in which case maybe nothing is safe.

Yeah no

Sure, if you want to melt your siding or burn down your house go for it. Also, who ties your shoes in the morning?

It’ll coat everything in soot eventually. Plus it can be a fire hazard if left unattended while grilling

It’s safe….to store it between uses.
