Neighbour bbq smoke

Hi. My neighbour round the back has a raised bbq area. He has bbqs twice a day, not kidding. It’s getting a bit too much. The smell of the smoke is making me feel sick. We don’t get on with him as it is. So speaking to him is out the question. My washing constantly smells of smoke. I wouldn’t bother if he barbecued now and again. But it’s twice a day.

It’s hard to suggest anything if you can’t speak to him. Write a letter to him? Ask the council if he’s entitled to barbecue twice a day?

That's ridiculous. I had to rewash my laundry today as some twat 2 doors down decided to start a bonfire in their garden yesterday afternoon.

Could you report to the council? Obviously a BBQ is very different to a bonfire but there must be some reportable issue for something. Do they run a smoking business or similar? Twice a day seems ridiculous

Well if you’re not willing to speak to him you’ll have to try and communicate telepathically.
