Neighbors ever complain about smoke?

[rickypro]

Hah!  Its actually a Landmann 3895GWLA, ordered from BJ's.

That is the same smoker I have.  You will love it!  I really like the chip and water pan drawers.  Very easy to keep temps level.

Also keep in mind that if your smoker is running right you almost don't see the smoke - Ninja Smoke! So they may smell BBQ, but their house shouldn't be filling full of smoke.

All my neighbors know that if they smell smoke there will be small baggies of smoked goodies passed out within 24 hrs. or so.

My neighbors have told me that it smells so good when I cook.

Only complaints I get from neighbors are "where's mine". Didn't realize how much the smoke smell travels through my neighborhood. Always being asked what I am smoking this weekend.

My neighbors are fine, and tummies full of my smoked goodies.  I simply added an extension to my vent to raise it up higher, and no more complaints.  Works like a charm.  Go Get 'em!

My neighbors all love the smell of my smoker.  Some even give me fruit tree trimmings.  I reward them with treats.

Many years ago I lived in an apartment where the old lady next door complained about the smoke from my grill.  I told her that if she would keep her cats from leaving little gifts in my yard, I would move the grill and promise not to grill cat meat.  I never heard from her again.

Good luck and good smoking.

Don't have neighbors, but I've found many a stray dog sitting on my porch on smoking days...

Glad to see your positive comments on drawers/access. Concept seems brilliant to me, BUT... the reviews I find for Landmann's similar Electric smoker are horrible. I need an Electric model for a specific situation. Does anyone have experience/comment on the Landmann models?

Summers I live in a marina on a houseboat. The smoker sits on the dock by the front of the boat. No one ever complains and usually are asking when it will be ready. Yes they have all sampled a little of everything I've smoked. The other advantage I have Is I'm an owner of the marina. My rules take it or leave it.

Several years ago when I was still using a little chief smoker I had the neighbors call the fire department on me. I had stepped out to buy another bag of chips, couldn't have been away from the house any longer than 20 minutes but when I arrived there was a fire engine parked outside my house. The smoker was working fine, no flare up, no flames just the usual smoke coming out of the vents. I even had a fire extinguisher beside the smoker and had it plugged into a GFCI plug just in case. The firemen said I had done nothing wrong and the neighbors received a ticket because it was plainly obvious the smoker was functioning correctly and there was no reason to call 911. Apparently they called it in as a garage fire but at the time I only had the cement pad poured for the garage. Its been like the Hatfield's and Maccoy's between us ever since.

My neighbors only complain when they don’t get a plate.

My current job involved an official background check of the type where they send investigators out to interview all your neighbors. The head of Special Investigations did my background 5 years ago. One of my neighbors made a comment that the smell from my porch drives his family crazy! It makes them crave BBQ all the time (he meant it in a good way - and yes I share).

Of course I got the job and yes, I am the official supplier of Q to the office events now. Oh, and my porch does smell like a BBQ joint as I've been accumulating smoke under the covered porch since 2005. Just walking up to the back door can make your mouth water, even on days when nary a smoker is lit.

Living in the sticks now but I had one of those neighbors above us in an apartment 4 years ago. Tried everything to get them to stop complaining. Finally could only smoke on really windy days and had a box fan next to the vent to get smoke away from the building. Saving grace, the complex manager's husband was heavy into smoking meat. She would take their complaint,file it in the round file and ask that I chill on making smoke for a few days. Guess you got to try to get along...JJ

My nearest neighbor is over 75 yards away. I doubt they smell it on a still day.

I've had one window slam. That's it.
