2 rules for unincorporated Colusa County, California.
Verified from official government sources
Unincorporated Colusa County has no special ordinance singling out backyard barbecues; propane and charcoal grills are generally allowed at private homes. The applicable limits come from the adopted California Fire Code (small propane cylinders, safe placement away from buildings) and from common-sense fire caution during dry, high-wind conditions in the county's wildfire-prone western foothills.
Backyard smokers and barbecue pits in unincorporated Colusa County are treated as cooking devices, not open burning, so they are generally allowed without an air-district burn day or CAL FIRE permit. The main constraints are the adopted California Fire Code, the Air Pollution Control District's nuisance-smoke rules, and fire caution in the county's wildfire-prone western foothills.
