The extract has four mapped BBQ spots and a lot of places to eat outdoors:

  4  amenity=bbq       2 wood, 1 charcoal, 1 unstated; 1 covered
  7  tourism=picnic_site
 22  amenity=shelter
 13  leisure=picnic_table

Today amenity=bbq becomes the same PROP_LANDMARK box as a fountain, a
shelter and a toilet block.

Proposal: a grill you can use.

Give amenity=bbq its own prop kind, carrying fuel and covered, so a
charcoal grill and a covered wood grill are not the same cube.
E lights it; a small fire and smoke billboard appears. E again with a hot
dog cooks it. The point is the ritual, not a hunger bar.
Sitting at the picnic table from #68 is the natural follow-up; the grill and
the table are usually the same picnic site.
Rain from #48 can put it out, which makes the covered one worth finding.

This is the social counterpart to the fika: a place to stand around, not a
mechanic to optimise.

The grill is modelled. It does not light.

amenity=bbq now bakes as PROP_BBQ with a modelled grill (dafe0e3). The picnic sites, the picnic tables and the shelters are modelled in the same pass, so the place the grill stands on is a place now rather than a row of boxes.

What is missing is what this issue asks for: fuel and covered are not carried on the prop, so a charcoal grill and a covered wood grill are the same mesh, and there is no E to light it, no fire and no smoke. Sitting at the table next to it is on the bench-sitting branch (#68).
