Charcoal and open-flame grills in Galloway follow NJ Uniform Fire Code IFC 308: they may not be operated or stored on combustible balconies or decks, or within 5 feet of combustible construction. Detached one- and two-family homes are exempt.
Galloway enforces IFC Section 308 through the NJ Uniform Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70). Charcoal burners, other open-flame cooking devices and outdoor fireplaces shall not be operated or stored on combustible balconies or decks or within 5 feet of combustible construction. LP-gas grills with larger cylinders (over 2.5 lb water capacity) face a stricter 10-foot rule. These restrictions chiefly target apartments, condos and townhouses; detached, owner-occupied one- and two-family dwellings and buildings with automatic sprinklers get exceptions. For any grill, keep it a safe distance from siding, fences and overhangs, and never leave it unattended, given Galloway's Pinelands wildfire exposure.
Grilling on a combustible balcony or too close to a building in a multifamily setting violates the Uniform Fire Code; the fire official can order removal and impose penalties.
