Go down to City hall and talk to the bylaw people.

I use Kingsford briquettes quite frequently in my wfo for other types of cooks, mainly grilling and for slow cooks. Every spring and summer I stock up on briquettes when they go on sale at Home Depot or Lowes. During Memorial Day and July 4th holidays Kingsford briquettes can be had for under $10 for 40 lbs worth (double 20 lb bags). I always buy enough to last me (even through winter) at least until the next sale.
I live in a "Very High Fire Severity Zone" as classified by the local fire department so I try to burn as little wood as I can. For all I know, wood burning is most likely banned here....but I wanted and built the oven, regardless, without checking. Last thing I want is for the FD to find out I have a wfo.

Go to any BBQ forum......you'll see guys making multiple trips to Home Depot to fill their garages with this stuff. HD usually have 4 item limits on deals like this but I've seen guys load up their truck on one trip as well....lol...

I like Neil2's suggestion. You are not out anything by making the trip, and you might get some clarification in your favour. Alternatively, ask a neighbour who is not building a WFO to go instead. That way if they ask for a name it doesn't matter.

Andrew, Your location says "Salt Spring Island"...? I was under the impression that Salt Spring Island was part of the Southern Gulf Islands. Do the local bylaws of Victoria pertain to the Gulf Islands?
