A backyard barbecue counts as a recreational cooking fire and needs no burn permit in unincorporated Weld County. Multifamily and clearance limits on propane and charcoal grills come from the adopted International Fire Code, and grilling can still be banned during fire restrictions.
Weld County treats grilling as a recreational cooking fire, which is exempt from open-burn permitting when contained in an appropriate appliance. Restrictions on where you can grill come from the International Fire Code adopted locally: the code limits charcoal and LP-gas grills and their fuel on combustible balconies and near combustible walls of apartment and condo buildings, and requires clearance from structures. During Stage 1 or Stage 2 fire restrictions, open-flame grilling with charcoal or wood may be prohibited even though propane grills are sometimes still allowed. Cities such as Greeley apply their own adopted fire code, so multifamily residents should check building rules.
Grilling in a prohibited multifamily location or during a fire ban can bring a fire-code citation, HOA or landlord enforcement, and liability if a fire results.
