How can you prevent smoke/ BBQ smell from leaving your property?

From the pics, it looks like that might be a pretty close residential neighborhood. So is mine, but I only cook a little MB, and the only "complaints" I've heard go like, "What are you cooking, that smells heavenly!" What are they considering a commercial smoker? Is he just cooking to eat or is he pre-cooking to sell? We should be careful, there might be two sides to this story...

Environmentalist BS cracks me up. They will go hug a tree because it has feelings but then say they are Vegan! Please veggies have feelings too. I would go around and video all the restaurants that have smoke pouring out of their vents. Tell this chump to go take care of them first.

We currently live in a Townhouse and have an attached neighbor, She is a chain smoker (cigarettes not meat) and our house occasionally fills up with the nasty stench if we have the sliding door cracked. I do a lot of BBQ and smoking so even though I don't think the smells are even (especially since ive got kids) I guess I cant really complain too much. I just sort of hope my smoking really fills her place up to make sure we are somewhat "even". If she ever complains, ill just report her to the HOA since drifting cigarette smoke is against the rules, while BBQ smoke is not.
Our new place is on a half acre with a cattle ranch behind the fence, so I think ill be safe there for whatever, just cant wait for the build to be finished already.

You'll be fine until cows start missing legs!

Back in the late 80's a family from California moved up here to OrEgon and bought a chunk of property with awesome views of the mountains. It was sandwiched between a small dairy farm on one side and a pig farm on the other. After living in the house for a month the Califonian filed a lawsuit against his neighbors in county court over the "Offensive" smells. The presiding judge didn't even let them get through opening statements. Threw the case out and made the Californian pay all legal fees and court costs.

House was up for sale a week later and the Californian left.

The dairy is no longer there and the pig farm only has a couple pigs. The new owners of that house have goats, sheep, chickens, cows and a few horses!

My neighbors LOVE when I fire up my offset! Either it smells good, they know they're getting fed that evening, or they know a party is gonna happen and they can watch me slowly go down hill! Move to Michigan!!!

I live in a neighborhood with all the houses right next to each other.  Only 1 neighbor has complained, and he lives across the street a couple doors down.  He complained once during the summer, asked me if I had a fire going because the smoke was apparently getting into his house.  I told him I was smoking some food and would  be done in a couple hours.  He just said ok and asked to try to keep it down.  I said sure, never changed my smoking practices and he never complained again even I though have smoked plenty of times.  I think the old man just wanted an excuse to complain.  Even if they did I'll just share some food with them and they'll change their minds.
