Neighbors ever complain about smoke???

[phatbac]

 
BS

Barbecue was cooked indirectly using hardwood coals WAY BEFORE  PROPANE WAS EVEN AN OPTION.

Tell all the folks using wood to heat their homes to stop it and use natural gas, because we all know that smoke is bad.

Why are you hear? to argue? You made your point now let it rest, your on the wrong forum for this argument.

Man... I really wanted to stay clear of this but got sucked in.

Amen brother Moderators should step in and remove this. Must have been kicked off other forums and just found this one.

Think someone didn't get invited to the neighborhood bbq. "I bid you good day, sir."

I'll bet he doesn't.  He doesn't know he is being poisoned.  But yeah, he gets to eat dads barbecue.   

Actually my Son eats my Smoked Meat, which is done in an Electric Smoker, but he eats his own Smoked Meat too, which is done with Wood Chunks in a Big Green Egg.

And he's a lot smarter than to go to a Meat Smoking Forum to complain about Meat Smoking.

LIKE I said... YOU MADE YOUR POINT!
Now move along and leave this thread be, so the mods don't lock it.
That wouldn't be fair to the original poster.

. I understand.  No one likes to hear that what they like to do harms others.  That's a good sign!  Maybe there is hope.  If you are smoking meats and you live out in the boonies, nobody around, more power to you.  And what better forum?  Who needed to hear about cigarette smoking hazards - non smokers?  And cigarette smokers were only poisoning themselves - well, maybe their kids too, and a few neighbors.  They didn't want to hear about it either.  No one wants to believe they poison their own kids or the neighbors (mostly) or harming the environment.      I'm sorry if these messages make you uncomfortable, but truth hurts sometimes.   Look, I wish you no ill will.   I wish you and your family the best. I love barbecue but I love to breathe more.  My lungs hurt the whole day my neighbor fires up his meat smoker.  I have congestion and breathing problems after the smoker event.  A pregnant woman with an infant and a 6 year old live right behind him.  They are all particularly vulnerable. I don't want to  think anyone out there would inflict harm if they knew they were doing it.   Get educated and  do what you want on your own property as long as it stays on your property.  

Another thought:  Those of you with smokers could insist on smoker scrubber technology on your home smokers.  That might help solve the problem? Pressure on the industry could perhaps make a difference.  

And I agree about wood burning stoves - definitely natural gas is the way to go.  We've got to clean up the air.  

Move along troll.

let's not feed them. it lets them breed.

It might have had a point, but being deliberately offensive isn't going to change anyone's mind. 

I blocked it on reading its first message. 

as for my neighbors? they love the smoke. and.. if I haven't in a few days, I too get the 'concerned knocking'.

Getting Redundant   " Like I said"   My neighbors come check on me if they don't see or smell smoke at least once a week.

Hey guys, so I'm smoking a pork butt today and it smells AMAZING! But, I just went for a walk around our neighborhood with my kids and I could smell the smoke from my smoker about 75 yards away. While I love the smell, I can't expect everybody to. Do you ever get complaints from neighbors about the smoke? If you do, how do you deal with it?
TIA!

When it comes to smoking I am lucky as most of my neighbors don't mind the smell of a nice piece of meat doing its thing.

My immediate neighbor, to the left, is an American and if I don't smoke for a some time she will ask what is wrong so I guess she is home sick or just loves the smell of smoking meat.

Most people don't seem to mind the different smells in the air it's just the offensive smells that normally get up peoples noses, pardon the pun.

Cheers from Down Under.

I live in an apartment complex that 12 apartments share a common courtyard. We all have our own porch and entrance in a horseshoe shape or U shape.
I could really start some stomachs growling in there If I was to toss a big slab of bacon on along with a few bulbs of garlic cut in half [emoji]128519[/emoji]

I told someone I wouldn't reply to this anymore. This is all I got to say. Everyone has their own opinion. Don't demean yourself by calling someone else a troll. Clearly this is the wrong forum for them. And for this topic. We are and always will be a better group of people. Keep on smoking people. Most of our neighbors love us. Those that don't. Oh well. Sorry for that.

Still no complaints from any of my neighbors. Once in a while I can smell someone else's smoker but I haven't yet figured out where it's coming from. My avatar's nostrils flare.

Now for obnoxious smoke, our city used to have a trash-burning power plant. 40% of our city trash stream is paper (think discarded cardboard) and that seems to make sense but it also made whole neighborhoods smell like burning plastic. Toss in the occasional discarded dead battery. They got closed down for dioxin emissions and that plant is gone.

Or, more than once, I've gotten some strong whiffs when the fire department burns down a donated house for practice. Shingle fumes, anyone? I know I'm over the edge when I try to whiff out what kind of wood the house was made of.

You should have been with us for New Year's Eve 2000, on the west side of Miami (actually Kendall) when the smoke from local fireworks was so heavy in the dead-calm air that we had to retreat inside to get away from the sulphur fumes.

When I was growing up and there still were these things called factories, we would have black soot all over the car every morning if it was left out. Was way to much junk falling in the 50s and 60s around metro Detroit area along the Detroit river.

Why are you even on a smoking meat forum anyway? It's evident you drive a Prius and and wear a tin foil hat, we get that.

 

[myownidaho]

Are you guys feeding the trolls again? Tsk, tsk.

 

[mneeley490]

My next door neighbor is a fire captain. The only thing he says to me when I'm done smoking is, "Got any left?"

 

[pit 4 brains]

A lit pile of charcoal is like incense to me.. During the summer you can smell it 3-4 times a week around my neighborhood. I cook outside more often than not. Nobody wants to heat up an oven when the AC is running all day. I grew up in a house where my dad liked to burn kerosene lamps. And it was kerosene, not paraffin. I remember that distinctive smell and often times at work at the airport I get that aroma from jet engines.. I love it.. I get a whiff of it when the guy across the street lights his coals with lighter fluid.. Not recommended by me but I love the smell..

Like I said earlier, my next door neighbor cooks curry in her garage and the prevailing wind lofts it over to my place. I could follow it off my feet like a cartoon character.

Smoking with charcoal and wood, old as mankind...

Hay and dumpster fires I can do without..

While we're at it we should probably point out that eating so much meat is not healthy and has environmental impacts. We'd all be better off eating raw kale.

Organic kale. All the fertilizer is running off the farms fields and it ends up in lakes causing algae blooms and killing aquatic life. [emoji]128556[/emoji]

Since we have some comparing of offensive smells for our unwanted guest, I'll add a couple that you kids probably never had the pleasure of inhaling.

One is Steel Dust;

Having worked 20 years at Bethlehem Steel, in Bethlehem, I can tell you most of us who didn't also live in Bethlehem had an extra car to drive to work in. It was a junker that could sit in Bethlehem & get covered in Rusted Steel dust every day & All day. I would say that was hard on the lungs.

The other one was disgusting, and you never quite get used to it;

When I was in Vietnam, in 1969, all of the Units of the 9th Inf Div on Dong Tam, had their own outhouses. My Company had a 4 Hole Outhouse out behind the hooches.

Well under each hole was a half of a 50 Gallon Drum. Every day at about 5 PM, somebody had to drag those partially or fully filled Drums out, pour some diesel fuel in them to get it started, and burn the contents. It seemed that every unit of the Base, occupied by about 8,000 GIs did this detail at about 5 PM every day. The black smoke would fill the air over Dong Tam, and the smell had no resemblance to any perfume.

Anybody who complains about Meat Smoking smells should get a chance to smell that for a few months to a year or more.
