BBQ & Propane Rules
In the City of Bellevue, Nebraska, propane and charcoal grills are regulated as open-flame cooking devices under the city's amended International Fire Code rather than as outdoor fireplaces. Section 12-36.1(A)(1) narrows the Code's LP-gas exception so only grills with a propane container of 20 pounds water capacity or less qualify, while Section 12-172 confirms grills are excluded from the separate fire-pit ordinance.
