This won't help, but maybe it will bring a smile to your face... my husband and I were stationed in Japan, and lived in a high rise apartment out "on the economy" (in town), which overlooked a major thoroughfare (in Japan, almost everything is a major thoroughfare, as this is a very land-limited country). Being BBQ-loving Americans, my husband would often BBQ on our small balcony. One night my husband was out cooking up a few steaks when we got a loud, insistent knock at the door. It was our Japanese manager (who spoke only a few words of English), and he said "Fi-yah" and pointed towards our balcony. We explained that no, it wasn't a fire, it was a bbq....Well, next thing you know, we've got a fire truck parked in front of the building, and 5 firemen in our tiny apartment with the fire hose and all the gear...apparently someone had seen the smoke, assumed it was a fire, and called the fire station. The firemen didn't believe we were bbq-ing, so they actually had to go look...."Oh, bahbehque, steaki"
Let me tell you, after that we made sure that we kept our fire REALLY small, and that the mgr knew when we were bbqing.
Best of luck with your grill...maybe you could list it in the paper for sale (our paper offers a free online service which has been very productive for us) and recoup some of your money....
