Barbecuing with excessive smoke could lead to a £5,000 fine under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Experts from VonHaus warn that creating excessive smoke during barbecues could lead to a £5,000 fine under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, classified as a 'statutory nuisance'. To avoid this, ensure your barbecue is set up in a well-ventilated area, use the appropriate amount of fuel, and avoid burning damp wood or inappropriate fire starters. Mishandling ashes and coals disposal, as well as using prohibited grills in parks and public spaces, can also result in fines up to £2,500.
