A Florida man was confronted by a county environmental specialist this week, and absurdly ordered to keep the smell of his bbq from leaving his property.
Video of the incident, originally posted to facebook, wed. by homeowner Scotty Jordan, shows Pinellas County Environmental Specialist Joe Graham, discussing
the alleged infraction with Jordan & friends after his neighbor reported him. During the conversation Graham asserts that the men are in violation of a local
‘rule’ that bans the smell of bbq from crossing over one person’s property line. Astonished by the claim, the cameraman asks Graham how anyone would be
able to control where the wind was blowing the smell? The specialist insisted that the bbq should be regularly moved to take advantage of wind patterns an
thereby avoid the problem, or to purchase a bbq that smoked less. Unfortunately this is a real law that the EPA has put into effect, that aims to limit bbqs
to wood burning stoves under the guise of reducing pollution.
