How much smoke is emitted from the smoker and will it disturb my neighbors?

It depends on how much wood chips you apply..if anything, the smoke is an aroma, not an odor. It is delicious. No neighbor will complain

My husband uses this smoker in our backyard every weekend. Though it admits more smoke than a BBQ, I doubt it would be enough to bother your neighbors. Maybe if you're talking about using it on a patio in an apartment complex it would. But if you're going to be using it in your backyard I dont see how the amount of smoke it admits could bother anyone.

Not too much smoke, it won't disturb your neighbors may just make them hungry.

The smoke is not channaled out in any specific direction. Smoke escapes from the top as well as the sides.

No, if your seeing smoke coming out you may need to adjust how it's stacked. Should not see almost any smoke come out.

The unit is small and I don't know how many square feet is it supposed to cover. I use it in my bedroom which is 16 X 16, but some dust still accumulates. I mostly wanted it for smoke from the fires we have in the summer.

I agree with Peter. It does work well and diverts the smoke. If you can open a window it would be best. Try it. It's the only model I was pleased with and I used it in my small room. Be safe.

Move the smoker to the downwind side of the house. I found a place behind my house where the wind doesn't affect it.

I purchase this unit a few months ago and it is awesome! I place it on my stove top and following the directions on "How much chips to use" (DO NOT Increase quantity of chips to smoke-It works as described). I found that there is very little smoke with or without my exhaust fan on and vents closed on the smoker. ENJOY !

I use mine on a covered porch and haven't had any problems... but there is good air flow across the smoker. If there isn't good ventilation... I would expect problems. This is a smoker, it puts out a lot of smoke. Besides thick smoke being unpleasant to be in... when hot enough... and thick enough... smoke can become flammable. If it were me... I would still own one... I'd just figure out a way to vent the smoke.

Thanks for the info. I also like the unit. I've never seen smoke or even smelled anything close to burning. However, I don't leave my on 24/7...... only a couple of hours at a time, once or twice a day. I checked mine on their website and it is not affected by the recall.

Honestly not sure. As long as you blow smoke thru it. Hides the odor and smoke as long as you dont blow hard.

Not really. Even when covered it still makes smoke. My solution is to use it just under my kitchen exhaust and then I don't have smoke problems.

The unit is loud with the fan and burner going. Also you have a confined space, where the outlet is pointed is of concern. Again confined space, air quality will be an issue, possibly lethal.

The Smoke is from the inside residue. Once it burns off it will no longer smoke. Place in a garage or out doors for about a hour to burn off and you shouldn't have that problem anymore....

It would create too much smoke to use indoors. I've had one for 4 years. Works great outdoors but min is under a patio roof. Manufacturer says no.

Does not bother my 2 smoke detectors. I do have to keep them12-15 feet from my alarm systems motion detectors.

I have mine internally venting as we speak. The fan is quite powerful and has no problem gathering any smoke that develops. I've been using my microwave since this past Christmas and so far, i haven't had any problems. I'm sure, however, that something like burnt oil would be a problem. Fyi- it's very important to keep the filters clean.

I'm sorry I can't answer that. I don't smoke nor do I allow my guests to smoke in my apartment.
