BBQ & Propane Rules

Arkansas adopts the International Fire Code through the Arkansas Fire Prevention Commission under A.C.A. §12-13-101 et seq. IFC §308.1.4 prohibits open-flame cooking devices (including charcoal grills and most propane grills) on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction in buildings other than one- and two-family dwellings (i.e., apartments and multi-family). Exceptions allow LP-gas devices with limited cylinder size on sprinklered balconies, and electric grills are not restricted. For single-family Springdale homes, the IFC restriction does not directly apply, but local property-maintenance and fire-prevention rules still govern safe storage of LP-gas cylinders under NFPA 58.
