How idiotic and intrusive can people get nowadays? This story, I think, certainly crosses the "dumb*ss laws" line. How can this even be enforceable? What is the end result? To ensure that NO ONE can grill at their private residence anymore?

"If a sufficient number of complaints, representing different households, are reported and an Inspector witnesses the problem, they can issue a Warning Letter."

Probably not many fireplaces in Florida, but I've read where some areas have banned smoke from them. Yeah, right ... I just hauled a cord of cherry wood from outside my barn to a log holder on the back patio.
On a similar note - here they send deputized dog inspectors who knock on your door and ask to see you dog license, etc. They only came to mine once, and asked if I had a dog. I asked if he had one, and how many kids did he have. He told me that wasn't any of my business, so I said whether I have a dog or not, is none of his. Then I asked for a Warrant. No Warrant? NO discussion, bye!
They like to look in peoples' back yards for dog bowls etc ... sometimes with binoculars; but my property isn't viewable from the road ... so only if they trespass can the see ANY indication of a dog (no outside food because of bears, raccoons, foxes and coyotes!) LOL

A nearby Township has smoke regulations and cite many people who burn their leaves in the Fall. Not allowed campfires or trash burning either, BUT people get around that by having hotdogs on sticks for when the police arrive. Time for campfires are regulated too; but again, out come the hotdogs! LOL

Rauchen ist nicht gut für Service und Gesundheit. Ich bin vor langer Zeit zu Snus gewechselt und bestelle nur bei diesen Jungs https://snuskingdom.ch/snus-kingdom/offroad.html. Verifizierte Produkt- und Qualitätslieferung. Alles ist so wie es sein sollte.

I was going to say "Try doing that in Texas". However, they already are doing it in Austin (which is more like California then Texas). http://austin.eater.com/2015/3/30/8309059/barbecue-master-aaron-franklin-slams-proposed-city-smoke-limits

You mean you don't understand how smoke inconveniences other people that their convenience is more important than anything you do?

I'm surprised I got that out. It's a bunch of crap and the neighbors need to experience a blanket party.
