2 rules for unincorporated Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
Verified from official government sources
Backyard barbecue and propane grilling is allowed at single-family and two-family homes in Jefferson Parish, subject to the state-adopted fire code and NFPA 58. Grills should be used outdoors, away from combustibles, and multi-family buildings face tighter limits on where LP-gas and charcoal grills may be operated and stored.
Wood, charcoal, and pellet smokers are permitted at Jefferson Parish homes as outdoor cooking, not open burning, so long as they are used outdoors, attended, and kept clear of structures. The parish has no smoker-specific ordinance; the fire code's cooking and open-flame provisions and neighbor nuisance-smoke rules apply.
