Grill installation on deck

The Rockies are a freeway for the Pacific Ocean wind. Setting the grill on the east side of the deck, in Calgary. The smoke is pushed off the deck, away from those enjoying the sun on the deck.

Prevailing winds vary by region and terrain. Set the grill up where the prevailing wind will blow the smoke away from the house, not into it. Placing the grill beside a wind wall is wonderful in sheltering the grill while not trapping the smoke.

In a windy location, a wind wall will make the difference between grilling or not. Nobody enjoys standing out in a hurricane and grilling. Incorporating a wind wall to block a constant wind gives you better flame controls and prevents paper plates from blowing around.

Position the barbeque to take advantage of the shelter provided by the house. The barbeque brush, tongs, meat forks used for grilling, you will want all of it convenient located by the grill. Arrange the grill close to a small storage area. A small cabinet or box with a lid to store your grilling utensils. Nothing complicated but still convenient.

Or place the grill close to a kitchen door. For you can easily step inside and grab the tongs, all while still being close to the grill. Enjoying cooking a rotisserie chicken in the barbeque. Design the deck with a plug close to the grill. Then you can conveniently roast without a tripping hazard on the deck.

Evening grilling is fun. The air cooling after a hot day, enjoying super on the deck with family as the sun dips. But you will need to see what you are doing on the grill. Position the grill close to an overhead light. Bright enough to work by, more than an ambience light. An overhead light will work better than a wall light wall behind you. Shining on your back, blocking the light, making it hard to gauge the sear marks on the steak on the grill. Sheltering the grill from the rain allows you to grill even on those raining days.

Even in a rainy region. Like Vancouver, where you have more rain days than sun. A roof over a gas grill allows you to grill even on raining days. One of the advantages of a gas grill, you can use it under a deck roof if the sides are open for ventilation. A small roof over the grill allows you to barbeque regardless of the weather.

Providing enough room for the smoke to rise out of your face. A higher roof which is better will need longer eaves.

A deck grill under a roof needs to have ventilation. Never enclose a grill on the deck. A cover over a gas grill is fine, but make sure the walls are open enough to allow the air to move the smoke off the deck. If you want to close in the deck, it will need proper ventilation. Either a vent or open sides to move the air and smoke. The rain is not the only weather to shelter the grill from. Shade from the heat of the sun also can be advantageous.

Position the barbeque to be cooled by the shade as you grill. Setting up a grill in the shade is one thing but keeping it there is another. A deck pergola is excellent for this. An open pergola roof allows smoke to dissipate while shading the grill. The pergola is also excellent for an overhead light or plug on a post. Improving the grilling experience while enhancing the deck appearance. Trees around the deck may be great, providing shade while you grill.

Hate to burn those trees while frying your steaks. Typically, most food prep is done in the kitchen. Position the grill close enough that you can use the kitchen while grilling outside. It might seem like an obvious precaution to take before lighting up the grill, yet many people neglect to move their grills away from walls or other flammable objects when using them.

Even master grillers experience the occasional unruly grill flame. Make sure you always have a fully charged fire extinguisher or baking powder nearby to prevent the spread of flames. In the event of a grease fire, baking powder is a common kitchen staple that can be sprinkled on the flames to put them out. Because water only provides fuel for grease fires, the presence of these extinguishers is crucial to prevent severe damage. While charcoal is safe inside your grill, high-speed winds can blow flaming charcoal onto your wooden deck and cause a serious fire that can quickly burn out of control.

Two-zone indirect cooking is an excellent way to avoid flare-ups while grilling. After moving the meat, place the lid back on your grill and wait for a few minutes until the flare-up subsides. As with any cooking utensil, your grill requires regular cleaning to prevent the spread of bacteria.
