Barbeque grilling is still allowed, with the following guidelines:
All grilling appliances shall be used within the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations.
Follow these simple safety tips when using solid-fuel, charcoal, or propane grills.
- Only use propane, charcoal, and solid-fuel grills outdoors.
- Place grills away from homes, deck railings, and under eaves or overhanging branches.

- Never leave a grill unattended while in use.
- Open the lid on gas grills before lighting.
Charcoal Grills:
- Prohibited on combustible surfaces.
- Use charcoal chimney starters with newspaper or electric charcoal starters (with outdoor-rated extension cords).
- If using starter fluid, only use products labeled for charcoal grills. Never add fluid to an open flame.
- Store starter fluid away from children and heat sources.
- Allow coals to cool completely before disposing in a metal container.
- Free ash cans are available for residents with wood-burning appliances. To apply, visit the NLTFPD Administration Office at 866 Oriole Way, Incline Village.
Propane Grills:
- Inspect the gas tank hose for leaks annually using a soap and water solution (bubbles indicate a leak).
- If a leak is detected with no flame present, turn off the gas tank and grill. Have the unit serviced before use.
- If the leak does not stop, or if you smell gas while cooking, evacuate the area and call 911. Do not move the grill.
- If the flame goes out, turn off the gas and wait at least 15 minutes before lighting again.
