Verified from official government sources
For single-family homes, gas and charcoal grills are unrestricted. But under the adopted SC Fire Code, charcoal burners and open-flame cooking devices may not be operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction at apartments and condos, unless the building is sprinklered.
SC Fire Code 2021 (IFC) § 308.1.4
Charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices shall not be operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet (3048 mm) of combustible construction.
Horry County has no ordinance specifically targeting backyard smokers or oyster roasts. At a single-family home they are allowed, but heavy, drifting smoke can trigger the county's nuisance provisions, and at apartments the same open-flame balcony restrictions as grills apply.
