What could be nicer than sitting in the garden and having a barbecue? Unfortunately, many only have a balcony. A problem? Of course not! Because even here you can set up a barbecue area.
When the temperatures rise, there is a very special scent in the air. Namely the smell of crispy grilled meat that is prepared in summer, sun and sunshine in almost every garden. It is not uncommon to see one or the other standing on the balcony enviously watching the barbecue. But who says you can't have a barbecue here? You only have to follow a few rules when grilling on the balcony. Then you can also enjoy delicious grilled meat.
The only problem: many people find it annoying to have to bring the grill up from the basement again and again just to grill a few slices of meat and sausages. It is not uncommon for the meat to end up in the pan instead. But why do you always want to bring the grill back to the basement? You can also set up a barbecue area on the balcony in no time at all. This is possible even on the smallest balcony and really looks good.
Which grill is best for a balcony?
When it comes to barbecuing on the balcony, a very important question naturally arises: Which model is best suited for barbecuing on the balcony? Of course, a charcoal grill is basically out of the question here. Simply because grilling produces too much smoke. This is not only uncomfortable for you, but also for your neighbors. If there is a smoke nuisance from grilling, a complaint can quickly flutter into the house. So keep your hands off the charcoal grill, or use a charcoal grill with active ventilation that hardly develops any smoke.
Electric and gas grills are better suited for the balcony. There is often still a problem here. After all, not every balcony is equipped with a socket. This is of course a clear plus point for gas grills. And they also offer a number of advantages over charcoal and electric grills. For example in relation to cleaning,Readiness for use and desired temperature. According to gasgrill-test.com, small, handy gas grills are now even available for indoor use. Of course, these are often also suitable for outdoor use and are therefore perfect for a barbecue area on the balcony.
» Attention: If you use a gas grill indoors, you should install a gas detector to be on the safe side. Because escaping gases are explosive and can lead to fainting in large quantities.

Once you've decided on a grill, you're halfway there. Now it's just a matter of "packaging" the grill in a practical and beautiful way.

How about a kind of multifunctional wall panel next to the grill, for example? This is very practical, because you can attach everything you need for grilling here. For example, I find the wall panel I found on ikea.com very practical. You can perfectly attach barbecue cutlery, herb pots and the like to it. Even bottles can find their place here. To do this, simply repurpose a few herb pots. You can also attach small fruit boxes to create storage space.
Simply attach the multifunctional wall panel to the wall and equip it. It's done in no time! It can be that easy to set up a nice barbecue area on the balcony.

If you only have a very small balcony and don't have enough space for a barbecue corner, you can still set it up nicely. Simply placing the grill in a corner of the balcony looks a bit dull. Even if there is not much space, you can still enhance the barbecue area with plants. Simply place a few tubs of herb plants next to the grill. Hanging baskets also look great. But you can also plant a trellis next to the grill. Here you can really let off steam creatively.
