Johnice Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I am contemplating giving up renting a house in CM and purchasing a 2 bed roomed condo. Being a SA'can I am crazy about BBQ. My question is: Are gas fired BBQ's allowed in high rise condos? The purpose built BBQ will be used only on the balcony. When I rented a condo in Pattaya years ago they weren't allowed. Is this also the case here? Thanks for any feedback in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Most don't allow them. At least that's been my experience. I have a condo I rent out and they don't allow it. I break the rules often when I stay there. But I just use a small grill. I light the lump charcoal on my kitchen stove in about two minutes with a burner. Nobody's ever noticed or complained.

Peterw42 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I think you would find not allowed in most Condos. You would probably get away with it but where does it stop, next thing people put the whole Thai outdoor kitchen on the balcony etc, there goes the condo block. If you find a place where its allowed, it probably means the management doesn't enforce any condo laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhonKaenKowboy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 People do put their whole kitchens on the balcony, but no gas canisters....there are some good electric ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know charcoal is allowed as it dont get all destructive explody like a gas cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 More than a few don't allow LPG powered cars in their parking garages......Imagine what a condo full of gas bbqs would be like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I've got a gas cooker which uses bottled butane. Is that a bbq? I can roast weiners on it, but mostly use it for frying eggs in the pan. Seems ultra safe, and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminatorchiangmai Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 These little suitcase ones with gas canisters you can use on your balcony , i would not go for the bigger ones that need a gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I imagine part of the problem is that if there is a leak the gas goes down & pools - not up & away.....That's what happens on those horrific 11 passenger vans crashes on impacts..... Should that happen on an upper floor one spark/cigarette glow/ignition crank at an inconvenient time & place could make it a very bad day...... When I lived in the Sierras one winter a whole apartment house went boom - 20 units.....Propane had leaked & the gas pooled under the raised foundation & just sat there until a spark found it.....

Paul Catton Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Surprised there is a lack of inbuilt BBQ's as a communal facility, usually near the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jippytum Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 gas cylinders are against the building regulations in condos .The building insurance also prohibits gas use .The building management should enforce this .Please consider fellow residents when cooking on a balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
