Rock County has no BBQ ordinance, but Wisconsin's fire code follows the national rule: charcoal and open-flame grills cannot be used or stored on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. One- and two-family homes and fully sprinklered buildings are exempt.
Grilling at single-family homes in Rock County is essentially unrestricted, aside from common-sense safety and any HOA rules. For apartments and other multi-family buildings, Wisconsin's fire prevention code (SPS 314) adopts the national fire code, under which charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices shall not be operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. LP-gas cooking devices are also limited on balconies. Exceptions apply to one- and two-family dwellings and to buildings, balconies or decks protected by an automatic sprinkler system, plus very small LP containers (nominal 1-pound capacity). Property owners and fire inspectors enforce these limits at apartment complexes.
Fire inspectors cite building owners for prohibited balcony grilling; violations are handled as fire-code corrections, and landlords typically ban grills to comply.
