Smoker Rules

Goodyear's fireplace and woodstove ordinance does not regulate outdoor cooking at all: cookstoves, barbecue grills, firepits and other outdoor fireplaces are expressly carved out of the restrictions that apply to indoor solid-fuel devices. Homeowners can use a backyard smoker, grill or firepit without an EPA-certification requirement or a permit under this chapter.
