They definitely wouldn't pull it away, nor would they repair the fence - they would be more likely to hope for the best and apologize for the charred fence later - but there's a new wrinkle in that they may have bought a new grill and this may be going unused. I'm still going to ask them about it, though. Really nice people but very odd. Thanks!
The guy who lives there let his backyard grow into a jungle of poison ivy and copperhead sanctuary - he told me that he couldn't believe the guy who sold them that house never maintained the backyard.

On the bright side, if they are using the older grill in the jungle, it's only a matter of time before an errant viper attacks him rendering the whole thing moot. (Kidding, but not nearly as funny as the kitten comments. I LOL'd on those.)
"The New York City Fire Department recommends using a charcoal grill at least 10 feet away from a building. In fact, it declares barbecuing is illegal ..."
They should be thankful they are even allowed to SAY the word BarBQue up there, much less using it correctly.
The BBQ chicken done at churches and fire departments in northern NY is as good or better than the best brisket that I've had down here. Obviously personal opinion, but I'll take the several-day-marinated chicken over almost anything else available at the BBQ joints down here.

Just to be clear, this is all friendly, and typed with a passionate smile on my face.
But I think the err in your ways is that Brisket is a Texas thing. We do whole hog (or butts) here, in vinegar sauce. If it's beef, it's not local. If it's got thick sauce, it's not local.
I will grant you that people down here tend to destroy a chicken, I don't know what's up with that, but yuck.
My Girlfriend (from upstate NY) turned me onto Chicken Speidies, and if I take a moment to get off my high horse, it's as good as any grilled chicken I've ever had. We were up there for a week last year around the 4th, and I think it was served at almost every meal. I never got tired. (If you haven't been to Roma's in Cary, you may want to. They do the flat, bready attrocity known as "pizza" and also do a wonderful job with Spiedies.)
All jokes aside, I hear you, but none of that stuff (as far as I'm concerned) is BBQ.
Luckily, arguing about all of this will hopefully not set the OP's house on fire.
I don't think it's the New Yorkers who are using the word wrong...
Next you'll have Joe Pesci telling me how to cook my grits.
