Touchy touchy touchy!
My post was not disrespect in any way as it's fact. I understand breathing issues. I have never yet seen or been in a CG anywhere in 52 years of RV'ing where a blanket policy of ALL types of external fires of any type are banned. Perhaps there are some of these banned external fire of any kind CG's and I merely mentioning a possibility example. We personally wouldn't ever pay to stay in a slot parking lot type of CG where RV's are nearly touching each other or will stay at a Walmart. Just our choice!
A gas grill is a external fire and has smoke if cooking on it and a charcoal has even more smoke and many people are now using wood pellets in them too. They smoke as it's burning wood! Even those that won't allow ground pit fires usually always allow an outside PP gas log fire or in an off ground suitable container small wood fire.
The only time I've seen all external fires banned for a time period is when there's a situation of extreme dryness and flammable items all around that could lead to a forest or grass fire spreading. This only occurred about 4 times in 52 years for us and never in Colorado.
In other words, some here think 199 RV'ers in a 200 site CG can't enjoy their camping experience with having an outside fire of any type because one RV'er either doesn't like and can't stand any smoke. Not going to go over very well!!! Good luck!
