The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Except BBQs are often against fire code so they're not allowed ๐ญ
certain ones can sometimes be allowed, go figure. fire is different depending on what's producing it!
where I am at we can only use electric. Would seem wierd to me to not allow any.
Are you in Europe? In the US, our 120 volt mains limit the size of what can go in our normal outlets. I've never seen an electronic grill, unless you mean something that we would call a griddle.
nope US. Its things like this https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/cuisinart-2-in-1-electric-grill/?catalogId=79&sku=8677439&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=MSN&cm_pla=Outdoor%20%26%20Garden%20%3E%20Picnic%2C%20Camping%20%26%20Games&adlclid=fcb3a91fe2021fd6708dce0bfd6811fa&cm_ite=8677439_458012898_pla-4577335631670864&adlclid=ADL-acb88d0d-5e71-4d8b-a05f-f9aa8ccfdbdc
TIL, thanks!
I occasionaly hear about people having their freezer out on the balcony. It makes sense for colder countries, as the temperature difference would be lower than if it were inside. But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure most freezers are not built to endure weather.
I have a cooler like what you would bring to a beach out on mine. In summer can put ice in it and keep stuff cold and in winter it helps keep cold things from freezing.
freezers work reasonably well in cold climates, provided they don't try to auto-defrost, fridges not so much.
I'm curious, what makes fridges bad in cold climates?
the insides freeze, also compressors need their oil to not be a gel.
Ah, that makes sense! Thanks!
