FL county tells resident:keep barbecue smoke in own yard

Ugh! Stories like this drive me crazy. My guess is there is much more to the story, like neighbors behaving badly. As for a "commercial" BBQ it looks like a pretty ordinary barrel BBQ.

I do midnight cooks on my smoker, but after one of my neighbors joked about the smell all night I was smart enough to take some fresh hot pulled pork to the neighbors. Sadly knowing your neighbors seems to be a thing of the past for many. :(

A law about BBQ smoke... Incredible
And they say that California has the whack jobs.

If you read some of the comments it sounds like there is more to it than just a normal outside cookout.

How is that any different at all than campers complaining about smoke from the neighbors campfire?

The neighbors in this case don't have wheels on their house and wont' be moving away when the weekend is over like most campers.

There were 15 complaints lodged against the man since September '14. Sounds like a lot me.

My thoughts exactly.

Has anyone stopped to think maybe one of the neighbors might have asthma?
Or maybe they are just jerks.
There are two sides to every story.

I guess the smell of cooked pork might offensive to some folks depending where their roots brings them from... Got to keep your BBQ smell in your back yard as well perhaps...

Glad we live in a somewhat country setting here with lots of space between the neighbors. I can still get away with a midnight pee tree run here...

Three actually. The third being the facts!

The complaints and cursing that I've gotten because of my smoker were because the smells were driving them crazy. He blames me for having to go out and buy his own smoker. LOL!

Kinda looks to me like the guy may have a sizable smoker and not know what he's doing.
