Smoking vs. Grilling on Balconies / High Rises in Poland

Forgive me but you are missing a few points. 1) Most balconies in the US, unless rented or owned by the more afluent people, ARE smaller and DO have other materials besides concrete, stone or brick... That is why it is illegal not only in TX; but in other areas of this country, like here in CT. However, something I noticed about some balconies in some areas of Poland, and that is that they can be a bit larger, or made only of concrete, brick, or stone; no wood or any other material. In that kind of case it may be possible in Poland because there are no such worries. I, myself would like to know if bbq cooking is specifically limited to certain types of grills like outdoor electric, as it is here in Hartford, or can you use gas or wood grills on the balcony?

Anyone, in any country, that makes a BBQ on a balcony is a complete and utter nutter.
End of........

Unless (as you sometimes see in new apartments in Poland) there's a proper channel to a ventilation duct, designed so people can do this.

Some neighbous in my apartment block used to make grills frequently about 10 years ago. Now they don`t - they probably realised it is countryside behaviour.

They probably saw sense, and understood it was nuts...

Or they were taught a lesson when their next-balcony neighbours had a grill. My apartment block has huge balconies where one can accommodate quite a big party so people were tempted to use them in that way.

PS. I could be wrong and they still have grills during summer but I know nothing about it coz we are out for 2 months.
