A Fire and Emergency spokesman said two trucks from Te Anau Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to a commercial building in the Southland town at 5.29am.
"The information I have is that the BBQ was on a wooden balcony on the first floor''.
The blaze was extinguished about 20 minutes later and no injuries were reported.
