they make smaller gas grills too. they're perfect for small balconies where one of those standard-sized gas grills would take up way too much space.

that's only a problem if you actually want direct sun. one of my favorite aspects of the balcony i had at marina city was that its depth offered permanent shade until sunset (west facing unit). i'm not a warmth guy. i love being outside, but in the shade.

no.

most high-rise residential rules stipulate gas grills only. as i said earlier, it comes from the insurance companies.
