Fire pit grill
A few years ago my neighbor decided she did not like my fire pit. She said she likes her window open all the time even in the winter. I suggested she try closing when the wind was blowing the wrong direction but apparently she didn't like that idea and began calling the fire department. Eventually she decided BBQing bothered her too a called the FD about that as well. I must have had 7 or 8 late night visits.
It finally ended when I was cooking some chicken on my gas grill one evening. When the fire truck pulled up outside my neighbor from across the street, a vegetarian, took it upon himself to have a talk with them. He explained that I liked to BBQ and my neighbor was ridiculous and prone to overreacting. After that talk they went onto her property and called to me over the fence to ask if I was BBQing. I said yes and they said it smells great! And that was the last time I dealt with that BS.

I lived in Cleveland Heights and adjoining East Cleveland for many years. Cleveland Heights is an interesting city. During the riots in the 60's part of Cleveland (Hough) and pretty much all of East Cleveland were devastate. Cleveland Height and Shaker Heights took strong action to try and prevent white flight and the downward spiral. Part of that was lots of cops and lots of inspectors. No overnight on-street parking! Anyway, it worked for decades, though perhaps not entirely.
Anyway, with all the cops and inspectors in Cleveland Heights, if the fire department and cops are OK with it is legal!
Years ago my brother used to have pizza parties much as described here. He'd make the dough and the sauce and provide basic cheese. Each friend would bring ingredients. IN turn each guest would make a pizza pie and then everyone would have a sample. One of these days I am going to make pizza in/on my BGE. If it comes out well I may make it a party theme.
Just my two cents!

Reading this story made me physically ill. Can I sue them?
They should have fined him $5k the first time he unnecessarily called 911. That would have been the end of it.

16-17 years ago I guess it was I was in my driveway ( before I built my backyard cook shack) at 1am ThanksGiving morning with a couple kettles going smoking a turkey and a ham for one of the last big family meals we had….
anyway suddenly here comes the fire dept bells horns a blaring. Some idiot had called in a house fire!
The crew was awesome and I even made a pot of coffee ( I was drinking beer I believe) pulled out some lawn chairs and they sat and we chatted for 30 or so mins.
The Lt is now the Capt and a dear family friend! Ever time we get together we raise a glass to the idiot that brought us together.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
Why would a chimney extension affect the quality of the pizza? I’m just asking. Because the issue isn’t the pizza, it’s the smoke. It seems like a problem that could be solved. Both sides have decided to dig in heels.

No. One side already revealed their cards with this statement:
"Regardless of the presence or absence of visible smoke, the oven releases noxious fumes and odors at all times it is being used and operated"
Admitting that their complaint is not about smoke. It is about the oven. Even if no smoke is visible, they still can't breathe. Oddly enough they can still complain. I guess you do not need to breathe to bitch? A chimney extension is falling for a trap. Installing one means you "agree".
