Legality of propane grill on Balcony?

[Saint]

I live in downtown Montreal...I'm on the 9th floor of a co-op apartment which I own. (the unit). The building has no rules against propane grills, but I am fairly certain there is a good chance the city may have laws against it.

How would I find out?

Gee thanks, I hadn't thought of that. (Sarcasm).

I already googled, thank you very much.

Reason why propane BBQ are not allowed in apartment buildings:


propane unlike most flamable gasses is HEAVIER than AIR, therefore instead of rising and disapating (mixing with air and becoming harmless) it sinks and accumulates in low lying areas.

Why not call the fire department?

BTW - Don't use 9-1-1

I think every jurisdiction prohibits propane tanks on balconies.
Natural gas outlets are permitted.

BTW - its the Fire Code and not City Bylaws.

[me!]

not necessarily, i see propane bbq's on balconies in apts and condos all over the place.

Call the fire dept, (non emerg line) or the city hall and find out.

Well they are definetaly breaking the fire code.

You are not alowed to have a propane tank indoors or within 10 feet of a dwelling.
Propane Gas is heavier than air and accordingly will sink and accumulate near the floor of any room. When the concentration of the gas is high enough, any spark can cause the gas to explode causing serious injury, death and of course major damage to any building.

everyone else in the mafia sells drugs and launders money doe that make it right! HUH!?! HUH!?!?

They both ignite. But if you body does produce propane from farts, then the easiest test is to smell it. Propane, by nature is odorless, where as the old saying goes. Who ever smelt it dealt it.

As to how would you find out if it's legal. I would call both the fire department and city bylaw.
