Should I feel guilty smoke meat during a burn ban?
« on: November 29, 2018, 05:39:58 PM »

We frequently have burn bans during the winter months when we get an inversion layer, we are to suspend using fireplaces/wood heaters unless they are the primary sources of heat.  Rules don't say anything about cooking.  Should I feel guilty doing a brisket or pork shoulder?

At least I'm not burning plastic trash like some of my neighbors.

You can feel any way you want, but if the meat needs smoked, it has to be done.

I see yer about a straight line west of me near SeaTac. I've never given it a thought. I smoke when I want to, and the local Fire Dept is 2 blocks away.

I never feel guilty!  The number of days I am able to fire up the smoker is limited due to work schedule, so I fire it up whenever I can.   :bbq: :cool: :cool:

Bob, didn't you give those firefighters a pellet pit a while back?  If I'm correct on that, sneak over there some time during a burn ban and see if they're cooking on it.

If I'm wrong, well..."Nevermind."
