I'm not sayin I'm 100% in but I get where they are coming from. Anyone that has lived in an area blanketed by smoke for days and weeks from forest fires should also kind of understand . It's miserable. They're just trying to keep any extra smoke out of the air. If charcoal grilling was my only means of cooking for whatever reason then of course they could kiss my white @$$. Otherwise , I might play along until we could all breathe.Upstate SC

I want to see someone post their caveman ribeye cook on a forest fire. Great way to feed the firepeople (gender neutral)

The Seattle area is having a rough go of it between both the smoke and the heat wave which is likely to last another week or so.

I lived in Colorado in the summers of 2012-13 when the fires in the south of the state were out of control.
Open flame ban for months each year. People losing their homes. It was chaos.
I would fire up the gas but left the charcoal and fire pit alone. I remember one month the air was so funky you could dust inside the house and the next day everything was covered in ash.
Missrable.

When you are used to the average daily high in August being in the mid-70's having a string of days with highs in the mid 90's isn't vey comfortable.

There's a big difference in uncomfortable and an excessive heat warning. It's uncomfortable here in Georgia for months on end.

Living in Lawrenceville, Georgia several yeas ago, I moved into my house in January. I had been moving stuff around and putting things up from the move, all day, and noticed the weather was colder than I had imagined it would be.
That evening I finally got the media center set up and started with my tuner to preset the radio stations for the remote control.
As soon as I dialed in the first station, I caught "This is a major winter storm warning". It was a Sunday evening, late in the night, and the weather announcer spoke for nearly an hour straight, of the closings already determined for the next day. Schools, Government offices, clinics, he spoke of emergency routes which hospitals will be fully staffed, grocery stores that will remain open, etc,.
Then at the very end of this diatribe, he repeated "A major winter storm warning is in effect until 3:00 P.M. tomorrow. Severe weather is expected with temperatures in the upper 20's and snow accumulation possibilities of up to one inch."

Reminds me of when I lived in Memphis. Everyone freaked out because the weather got into the lower 20s for a day or two and snow accumulation.

That's because any precipitation that falls in below freezing weather around here turns to ICE and there's no equipment to scrape the roadways genius. Don't care how seasoned a driver you are - you just can't drive on it.

The big difference is the Waldon Canyon fire that ravaged Northwest Colorado Springs was caused by arson. 346 houses destroyed. Thankfully ours was not damaged but we had to evacuate the area for 8 days. We didn't BBQ for almost a year. Not because to do so was banned, it was because we freaked any time we smelled or saw smoke.Killit_and_Grillit said:I lived in Colorado in the summers of 2012-13 when the fires in the south of the state were out of control.

Guess most folks up that way don't have A/C. It's all about having the right equipment.
