Camp fire

Is amenity=bbq suitable to tag a camp fire site like this? vibrog 20:44, 29 August 2011 (BST)

I'd say no. I found a suitable tag for it: leisure=firepit. (btw: I used your picture as an example.) --Oddityoverseer (talk) 23:59, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. Unless it has metal grill for cooking food, then it is not amenity=bbq but leisure=firepit instead. --mnalis (talk) 18:52, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Leisure?

I think this should be a leisure=* tag. --AndiG88 (talk) 08:13, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I think man_made=* would be more precise, but I don't think this tag should be changed, because it is old and established. --Jgpacker (talk) 16:46, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

man_made=* sounds like the bbq pit/stove itself. Currently amenity=bbq areas often represent an entire bbq site (at least in my place) - this can be leisure=*. There are some commercial self-service bbq businesses that provides extra services (eg: surcharged/included fuel, grate/fork, food, drinks; fire starter assistance) on top of an entry fee (ie simply fee=yes won't work) that may qualify as a tourism=*. amenity=bbq might be able to be used as the immediate area of a bbq pit itself together benches and other equipment to group them together. -- Kovposch (talk) 12:46, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

bbq:type=*

As of 2020, there's only 1-digit instances of bbq:type=*.

Judging by the currently mentioned bbq:type=grill structure values, the *:type=* suffix could be renamed bbq:grill=* or similar (if to be more specific than bbq=*. -- Kovposch (talk) 12:53, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

implies access?

I don't understand why "implies access=yes" is specifically mentioned. For almost all other tags, it is not mentioned separately, although it is mostly implied or default. --Chris2map (talk) 18:24, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

BBQ without grill/grate/cooking surface

There seems to be misguided attempt to add grate=no to indicate that amenity=bbq is actually leisure=firepit. Please do not do that, it is considered trolltag. If it does not have cooking surface (most often metal grill / grate or plate) for cooking food on it, it is not amenity=bbq.
