- LYC: Our HOA meeting last night had the local fire chief attend. - The Ruiner Sep 14, 08:32 9
  - Is it truly an open flame if it has a lid? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 08:37 1
    - you have to open the lid at some point. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 08:39
  - It's always been against the rules here to have a grill on your balcony. - sycor Sep 14, 08:34 6
    - same here. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 08:36
    - Here the *rules* had been that gas was okay because of the safety features. - The Ruiner Sep 14, 08:35 4
      - interesting. honestly, I'd rather there not be open flames on balconies because I don't trust other people. they are dumb and will burn my shit down. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 08:36 3
        
        That is the big fear with apt/condo living. It was always mine. Which fool will fall asleep with the lit cigarette? -- nm - bc/nc Sep 14, 08:37
        
        Yeah, taht is what has happened, but telling people they can no longer do what they used to is always a losing proposition. - The Ruiner Sep 14, 08:37
        
        this, exactly. I used to get toast on my balcony, for eff's sake. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 08:37
