As you know, the most favorite activity in the open air and in nature is the preparation of delicious kebabs, which have a particularly incredible taste when fried on the grill. Shish kebabs are an incredibly tasty delicacy that involves marinating meat first, then pricking it on skewers and grilling it. The meat is juicy, soft and literally melts in your mouth.
Places for grilling barbecue
Of course, it is preferable to cook this dish outdoors, somewhere in the forest near a river or lake. But even here fire safety rules should be observed, since a large amount of dry grass and branches can cause a dangerous situation. Be sure to keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby so that in the event of even a small fire, you can quickly extinguish it.
It is much easier for the owners of their own private houses or summer cottages to solve this issue. Shish kebabs can be donated on your private territory, while be sure to move at least ten meters away from the house. Here, too, you should follow safety rules and have water nearby in case of an unexpected situation.
But unfortunately, not everyone manages to get out into nature, and I really want to try the kebabs cooked on the grill, and not in the oven. In this case, some especially resourceful citizens decide to put a brazier right on their balcony. Apparently, not everyone knows that kindling a fire on the territory of an apartment, and the balcony belongs to it, is strictly prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation, as it is dangerous and can cause harm.
Why can't you light a fire on the balcony?
Everyone can make a brazier on the balcony, but not everyone knows that this is strictly prohibited. Primarily for the security of your property. Firefighters are not allowed to light a fire on the balcony, since even if all precautions are taken, a dangerous situation can be provoked. The warm air rising from the barbecue on the balcony, together with the smoke, raises unburned pieces of coals. They can fly into your house or neighbors and cause a fire. It is not recommended to grill kebabs on the roof of the house, as often a large number of dry leaves accumulate there, which burn perfectly.
Neighbors will also be against the barbecue on the balcony, who can call the police, fearing not only for their apartment, but also for their health. After all, the smoke can be so strong and suffocating that it will cause discomfort even for the most unpretentious people. And it is quite difficult to weather everything out of an apartment.
Doctors also do not recommend frying kebabs on the loggia, since the smoke emanating from the barbecue will circle directly next to you and cause a strong cough. In nature, it is carried away far, and the area of dispersion there is larger than the balcony.

The optimal choice
Despite numerous bans, as well as fines, not everyone has the desire to barbecue on the loggia. There are daredevils who arrange a real picnic on the loggia.
Modern technological developments have allowed manufacturers to create a safe analogue - an electric grill. Hardware stores offer a wide variety of safe barbecue grills. The main advantage is that there is no need to light a fire in order to prepare a dish, respectively, the use of an electric barbecue is the only legal way for these actions.
Firstly, live fire is not used here, which means that neither firefighters nor neighbors will have reasons for dissatisfaction and worries about the possibility of creating a dangerous situation right in the house. The absence of live fire saves you from another unpleasant factor arising from a real barbecue, namely from the terrible smoke that spreads very quickly.
This type of barbecue is of two types: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal barbecues look like a mini version of real barbecues. The heating element is located at the bottom, and you need to turn the skewers with meat manually. This process resembles cooking kebabs in the fresh air and is very addicting. By the way, thanks to the fire safety of this device, you can use it both on the balcony and inside the house in the kitchen.
Vertical barbecues have the shape of an elongated cylinder, which has a heating element for frying meat from above and an automatic drive so that the skewers with meat rotate and cook evenly. Also in the lower part there are special open containers that collect fat dripping with meat. Thus, easier care of the kebab maker is provided. The choice of this or that electric option completely depends on your desires.
By the way, there are such craftsmen who install a brick frame on the balcony, and lay an electric brazier inside to give the cooking process a feeling of greater reality.
Another device for its possible use on the loggia is a mini-barbecue. It is installed at the edge of the balcony and is firmly fixed there. The small size and convenience of the device made it quite popular in a short time. However, even here there is a danger of fire, since the device is not electric and you will need to kindle a fire for cooking kebabs, which may be very displeasing to some authorities. Also, this barbecue has one more drawback - a small amount of smoke that comes from the fire.
Under no circumstances should the above devices be left unattended. It is imperative to have water or a fire extinguisher nearby, just in case, since no one is immune from unforeseen situations.
