If I use this inside the house, will it stink up the place?

No it will not stink, just make sure and keep water in the lip and don't try and put to much inside leave about 5 inch from the top

Absolutely not. We have used our three Gartopf's for cabbage for sauerkraut, green tomatoes, kimchi and cucumber pickles and never smelled a thing. With the unique "moat" of water around the lid, nothing can escape except a very soft "glop" sound now and then. We love these things. Thanks for asking.

Absolutely zero odor. I keep mine in a closed pantry in the kitchen while fermenting. As long as you make really sure your water level in the rim never gets below the notches in the lid "about 2 in" then it creates a gas tight seal and zero odor. My first batch of sauerkraut turned out incredible after 8 weeks, and I am now trying my hand and pickling/fermenting green beans, and beets. Highly recommend this quality product!

I have had no odor whatsoever from my Harsch crock. When you open it to check the fermentation, you will want to smell (ant taste) the fermented veggies to determine if they are "done" enough for you.

I found that when I put a dish towel over the top and rubber band it there is no smell

Not unless you allow the water to evaporate from the seal and then leave the contents to rot. It's nothing like the old open crocks. It is completely airtight if you maintain the water seal.

There is only a very slight smell from the gas not much so I keep mine in the basement.

I stored mine in the basement to keep in out of the way but as long as you keep the lip filled with water, it will not stink up your house. I have only used it so far on sauerkraut, brined onions and garlic.

Cathy, You are correct. The trap uses a mix of pheromones that can get quite "stinky". Outside you may notice it when you're within 5 feet or so of the trap. Inside the home? I'm sure you'd be able to notice the smell a lot further away and I can't imagine it would be acceptable. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Guess it depends on how long your going to let it set before you take it out?? We personally have no issues with this. If I would put something in it that stinks I would remove it from the house promptly.

yes just make sure the air is cut on most smells are trapped inside the vents

It should not be used inside your home! It probably could be used in a open air type building like a pole barn type shop. The exhaust gases would have to be vented outside to use in you are home.

If it's in a basement or somewhere faaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr away, it really stinks but works great!!!

it should, mine does otherwise you will have an smell in the house depending on what the brown water contains.

It will not stink up your house. The fermentation process is done in the small barrel provided and you are supposed to place the barrel in a temperature controlled, no light atmosphere (for us it was our basement).

Indoor "dry usage" is okay. Indoor "wet usage" would not be ideal since the mixture of rubber and water does give off a smell. We use it in the garage, around a slow-leak water softner.

I had no problem with smell. I used it in a small bathroom with no windows.

Yes, I use this in a small confined toilet room, in closed closets with smelly shoes and in an office space I work in with no windows. I find it effective and keep re-ordering. When you first use Fresh Wave it has a strong smell that dissipates within days. I like it because it doesn't mask the odor with perfumes.

No. I vented it in the room that it is being used. I ran a flexible pipe above the sink to prevent overflow. I don't get any odor and it works well.

I wouldn't have a problem using on inside furniture (although I used for outside) make sure your floors are protected from the wet and maybe use in an area you can open a window to outside for ventilation. Not a strong smell but it is a "chemical"!

I haven't however I will be moving in a couple of months, and my new place will have induction.However, unless you want your home smelling like that for about a month, you should stick to outdoors for this. I thought my apartment would smell like hickory forever. I would love it if my apartment did, but I don't think the landlords would.

Supposedly it may be used indoors but I do not recommend it as it has a very strong odor. I used it in my laundry room last year and it took weeks for the smell to dissipate. Although, that area has very poor ventilation. If the indoor area your considering has really good cross ventilation you may want to try it but use it sparingly. It is a great product and does work, but I use it specifically for my outdoor back and front decks and yard areas.

I have it in my bedroom and so far it gives off a chemical odor. Its been 3 days and I usually run it at night time.
