Not within a building then it is not within the requirements of the IMC.

Open on three sides
A Structure and a building???

I am not making an assumption there is a roof over the cooking area since it is "outside"
However if there is, then a hood would be required to protect the structure above.

A quick Google check found many companies listing commercial charcoal grills on their websites here are a couple: http://www.holsteinmfg.com/categories/gas-charcoal-grills http://www.belson.com/Commercial-Barbeque-Grills. I'm not really sure what makes them commercial versus high-end residential but these 2 vendors as well as many others list grills they say are for commercial use. I've been to many outdoor grilling events at country clubs and have never seen a grill under cover at any of those. This is been in several different cities but I'm sure that requirements vary from area to area.
