What Miami-Dade County does
to a grill.

Where grills sit in Miami-Dade County: on the water, tower living, seasonal houses.

All of Miami / South Florida

On the water

A grill by salt water shows rust first where nobody looks: beneath the firebox, on the underside of each burner and on the heat shields, and a flame that suddenly runs uneven is usually salt eating through thin metal.

Tower living

Tower managers usually want the shared grills' gas shutoff tested and their grease trays emptied on a schedule, since a grease fire on an amenity deck affects every resident, and each technician visit is logged with the building.

Seasonal houses

At a seasonal house the grill may go untouched for months at a stretch, long enough for spiders and wasps to fill its burner tubes and for mice to nest under the grease tray, so they are cleared before the first flame of the year.

Aventura

Aventura splits the grill story in two: shared pool-deck grills in the condo towers used by many residents, and private dockside grills fighting salt spray, and both need their burners and grates checked more often than inland grills.

Bal Harbour

A state-maintained bridge connects Bal Harbour to Haulover Park to the north, where the county's rental shelters each include a barbecue grill.

Brickell

Many Brickell condo rules and fire codes keep gas and charcoal grills off balconies, so grilling there happens on shared pool-deck grills or the rare terrace with piped gas, and those shared grills wear fast from many users and constant salt air.

Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove's lush bayside gardens keep grills in shade and wet air, where mildew grows under covers and bay salt pits the stainless, so grill visits here start with the hood hinges, the grates and the igniter wiring.

Coral Gables

Coral Gables' older houses and tree-shaded yards host plenty of family cookouts, and a grill set under that canopy stays damp long after a storm, rusting its grates and heat shields sooner than one standing in open sun.

Golden Beach

The town's beach park is open only to residents, who must show a driver's license or town ID as proof of residence.

Key Biscayne

Key Biscayne grills face open ocean salt and storm surge, and on an island of seasonal homes many stand idle for months, so the first cook back often reveals a seized knob, a rusted burner or a nest inside a venturi tube.

Miami Beach

City park rules list cooking outdoors among the prohibited activities in Miami Beach parks.

Pinecrest

The village opened Pinecrest Gardens as a municipal park on March 8, 2003, on the former site of Parrot Jungle, with more than 1,000 varieties of tropical plants.

Sunny Isles Beach

Haulover Park, the Miami-Dade County beach park on the city's southern border, has picnic areas with tables and grills throughout, open first come, first served.
