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?

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

"If a sufficient number of complaints, representing different households, are reported and an Inspector witnesses the problem, they can issue a Warning Letter."
I can only assume that he's not well liked by is neighbors.....or they are Commies!!! I mean who doesn't like the smell of FOOD, especially grilled FOOD!!!!!

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

Glad I live in a neighbor where that had never been an issue to entire 47 years I've lived in this house. My Dad's house I grew up in was located 3 miles from Me and He had 35 acres of land around His house located in the same town as Me. Smoke and the great smell of things cooking even smoke from Chimneys of people using their indoor fireplaces makes Me feel right at home. Burning our brush and fallen tree branches in the spring is an activity most My neighbors also do but on brush and wood burning days the Fire department has to clear it and make sure there isn't a strong wind to make it more dangerous and if burning You must have a water hose that can reach the fire area. That's only for fire safety.

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
Barbecue Master Aaron Franklin Slams Proposed City Smoke Limits
Requiring smoke scrubbers could force Franklin Barbecue to shutter.

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.
