Yes there is. It really smells just as much as actual cigarettes do. My co worker hated the smell on me.

At first there is a little smoke but then after about 5 minutes the smoke dwindles down to a faint trace.And then there is a little smoke smell but nothing that should bother the neighbors.We love ours!

No, I found that the smoke is minimal and really caused no problem. I enjoy using mine.

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

Not that I have seen. But if it is melting, you should see light-colored smoke and should smell plastic heating up as well.

yes for the most part, it reduces the immediate smell and gets the smell out of the air faster if its in the area of the smoke

I have not noticed any issue with odor. I think foam is capable of retaining smells in the environment. So a person who cooks with lots of exotic spices, smokes cigars or cigarettes or cannot allow fresh air into the room might probably smell those odors in the foam.

That's a good question I'm a smoker too. But for now there's no smoke smell.

In my experience no. The window hazes over quickly anyway from the smoke. I cook with a remote probe thermometer so seeing the meat is really no benefit anyway.

We use ours for 1/2 hour or so at a time and have no problem with fumes. There is very little noticeable smoke or odor. But if one used it continuously, there might be a need for some external ventilation.

I have not noticed any off gassing. I'm on my 3rd set of smokestop filters and they're working better than expected without any odor.

I have one of these smokers. It only produces a small wisp of smoke on high heat and nothing noticeable on a lower heat. Will not set off smoke alarms or anything like that. Your house will have odor of the smoke while cooking and you might still get a slight sniff of it the next morning but it is nothing objectionable or overpowering.

I think so. The flavor comes primarily from the smoke from the type of wood you use, not from the heat source.

It is a very subtle smell. I have copd and have to be very careful with odors.

Nope no smell. But i have seen a blue spark before when the heater turns on so just keep it away from flammables.

my gives off a smell as if you were turning on the stove top for cooking you may want to put in some fresh air as I do have a fresh air pipe right under my unit a 2" pipe, hope this helps you I have had my unit for some years
