If you agreed to the terms of inspection and potential seizure of an improperly stored weapon when you were issued your gun license, I can't see how it would be an issue.

I will have to pick some brains about smokers sooner or later... We were gifted one by our enthusiastic son. We've managed to smoke a total of one marinated chicken breast in it so far It took us a while to find a safe place out of the ever-present wind to set it up.

Enjoy the opera! If you've never seen Tosca, I advise you to take a hankie.
