2 rules for unincorporated Amador County, California.
Verified from official government sources
Amador County has no separate ordinance banning backyard propane or charcoal BBQ grills, but in this high-wildfire-hazard county grills must be used safely away from flammable vegetation, and propane cylinders for grills fall under California Fire Code Chapter 61 / NFPA 58. During red-flag conditions or burn suspensions, residents should avoid open-flame cooking in wildland areas.
Amador County has no specific ordinance regulating residential meat smokers, but they are heat/open-flame devices used where most land is High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Wood- and charcoal-fired smokers must be kept clear of dry vegetation, used cautiously during fire season, and ashes fully extinguished. Burn-day and burn-suspension rules apply to any open wood fire.
