The beach is in walking distance of my back yard so I just have to be able to roll it for a ways...not talking about throwing it in a car or truck and all of that
Although that would be nice to do as well since this ain't much of a beach

BGE,Primo,Grill Dome and Kamado Joe are pretty much all on the same level. Balcony though.. You sure you want this on a balcony???

It's actually a covered porch on the second floor. I have an architectural firm on the first floor so our main living area starts on the second floor. It has a solid aluminum deck. It's quite large 12' x 36'. I have access to grills and smokers at my restaurant, but I want something that I can use at my house. Currently have a portable kitchen grill and it's ok, but i'm ready for an upgrade. BTW how is the quality of the grate on the BGE?

I think you have to be over ~500 degrees before the exterior of ceramics is hot to the touch...

Even at 700 degrees, the exterior ceramic surface of the BGE won't give you a contact burn. Of more concern than the exterior temp of the cooker is the flashback potential. If the balcony is covered or very enclosed, you want to make sure the adjacent surfaces are fairly heatproof (ie, stucco, brick, cement fiberboard siding). I would strongly discourage placing any ceramic cooker beneath a vinyl clad overhang or near vinyl siding. I've burned off arm hair, singed more than one potholder, and fried the leaves off of a nearby plant (and I'm fairly careful). A careless sort could easily shoot fire up to the neighbor's balcony, causing all sorts of trouble.

Scroll ahead to 1:05-08 to see the slow-mo flashback fire.

thanks for the info. The exterior walls and roof is heavy gauge galvalume. And the porch is not enclosed. I do have a section that is not covered - after seeing this video that would probably be a good place to put the grill.
