Natural gas grill & screened porch

[Lynne Powell]

We recently bought a natural gas Spirit Weber grill currently on our patio, cement floor. We are expanding and enclosing it with screens, still on cement floor.
Is there a problem using the grill within the screened in porch or do we need to extend the gas line and put it outside on the patio? The room will be 15x 16' with an exit door to the patio and one into the house. Screens will run floor to ceiling with 8' ceiling and2 ceiling fans.

Any thoughts/ experience would be greatly appreciated.

In Florida most of us have screened in patios with propane grills, no problem. I live in a condo on the second floor and have a Weber Spirit that I use regularly with 8 foot ceilings in a room close to the same size you described. The only issue is that the ceiling and the ceiling fan gets filthy from smoke and grease laden vapors.

I have a natural gas range in my interior kitchen.....never had a problem
That said, I wouldn't sweat the grill in and enclosed patio. But as the poster above mentioned, you'll need to take the grease plume into account.
