Rules for barbecuing

The following rules apply to the use of barbecues on the campuses in Odense, Kolding, Esbjerg and Sønderborg: 

  • Barbecues must always be placed at least 5 metres away from buildings and other flammable materials.
  • Barbecues must be positioned so that odours and smoke do not cause a nuisance in nearby buildings. Please be aware of open doors and windows, as well as ventilation intakes.
  • Place the barbecue on a non-flammable surface, and not directly on lawns or tables.
  • Only charcoal or briquettes may be used in solid-fuel barbecues.
  • Only barbecue lighters or firelighters should be used for lighting the barbecue. The use of flammable liquids is not permitted.
  • Only gas cylinders weighing up to 11 kg may be used with gas barbecues.
  • Water must always be available for extinguishing the fire before the barbecue is lit.
  • Do not leave the barbecue unattended until it has been switched off and fully extinguished.
  • Any burn bans in force must also be followed.

As a general rule, barbecuing is not permitted on the Slagelse and Copenhagen campuses.
