the insurance companies have killed-off charcoal grills in residential highrises for the most part.

they're seen as a fire hazard, primarily from idiots throwing hot coals down trash chutes and starting trash room fires.

in the VAST majority of residential highrises in chicago you're only allowed to have a gas grill on your balcony/terrace/whatever.

even if you had a 2,000 SF terrace, you still wouldn't get your charcoal grill.
