    It will stain your fabric if that's what you're asking.

    That's one thing the other is safety/fire hazard

    The fabric should be tagged with non-flammable if compliant.

    Build, it will last decades longer, and you can add power if you want for lights/music/blenders/exhaust/etc

    Please, please go to your local fire department and ASK them about this.  They know more than you or I or anyone else on this forum (unless they, too, are firefighters), so be smart, and make your decision actually knowing what you're doing.  Maybe this is a fine idea.  I just urge you to find out!

    FWIW, I was a firefighter in a prior life, and - to @Theophan's point, cooking too close to combustible materials is never recommended.  Many folks found out the hard way that pulling a grill inside of a garage on a rainy day isn't the brightest idea.

    You have to stay cognizant of your exposures [to combustible materials] and CO levels.

    When you say build i'm assuming you mean a wooden pergola, correct? I think a pergola would look a lot nicer than a fabric gazebo. Plus it would allow you opportunity to expand it later if you so choose. You wont have any issue with a pergola. They are pretty easy to build too.

    Grease laden vapors will not show well on your fabric.
