what does the smoke barrier smell like? and, how many coils do you need for a small yard?

It does have a detectable scent. Not unpleasant though. We usually light several of them in kind of a circle around us. If we are sitting on the patio with several people we might light 6 of them. It's a bit trial and error. Once they have been burning for a while, the area will really be mosquito-free. You will need more than one though. And you can extinguish them and light them again another time. We use them constantly in the summer and have for years.

I think it smells like an incense, rather woody. I usually burn one near where I am sitting or gardening, and if I feel I need anotherone in another spot for coverage, I go for that. Hard to tell, since different regions have different concentrations of bugs.

It really doesn't have a smell. But for a backyard, I'm sure one is good enough if you are using this in a patio area.

It's a tolerable but not if you don't like any kind of smoke. In my opinion, it smells way better than a fat cigar. It usually lasts about a couple of hours or so and for a small yard, you would probably need 4, give or take. Best to try and see.

The odor is not unpleasant but it is rather pungent - sort of like smoke from a wood fire. The coils work well in a small area. If you're trying to cover a yard, I'd recommend the Off Powerpad Lamp or Off Powerpad Lantern - each one covers roughly a 15'x15' area and they've worked well for us.

Dont have that problem, but having installed it myself i can tell you on top of the unit is a section where air can vent thru from the coil, if anything falls in there or its not clean, every time you heat up the coil and anything thats fallin in there can heat up and of course smell, hmmmmm, take a flashlight and look in there or perhaps take the cover off and take a look, other than that it may be a venting problem thru to the outside, the pipe is double, one inside the other, one is for venting the other for fresh air intake, hope this helps, Mike

Always make sure you have nothing touching the wires,not weeds either.I have a ground rod and an isolator.It has worked well since I purchased it without any problems.

I actually smoke the Eve 120's Amethyst thins. I had to wrap masking tape around the filter to get it to stay in the TarGard. It keeps my hands busy, and helps me to smoke less to sit there and wrap the tape.

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!

Apparently you did not bother to read the comment I posted. The unit I got caught on fire when it was plugged in. As in call the fire department smoke. It was returned. Good luck.

My best guess is your smoke is not smoke, but dust. If the connections are not tight, a fine dust will escape.

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

My smoker sets in my tractor shed which has three open sides and I don' seem to have any problems. Perhaps the one closed side does the trick. I just finished smokind venison bologna and the average temp was in the low twenties

They don't need to hang. One of my holders is a ceramic pig from Japan that has a wire hanger from which you hang the coil. The other holder I have is a metal tin (also from Japan) and you just light the coil and lay it flat in the can. You could set it on a brick or piece of slate or ANY non-flammable surface. It acts exactly like incense...burns slowly...no flame, just smoke. You can even break up the coils, light the various pieces, and set them around the perimeter of your patio or deck or wherever you're hanging out, creating a mosquito 'shield' around you.

I added a second heating element right from the git go! I read the Bradley forum for quite some time and got some really great info there. I have also constructed a "shed" on my deck to enclose my smoker. It is mostly for weather protection, and less so to block wind. By installing the second element, getting the smoker "back up to heat" after opening the door, occurs in a blink of an eye! Hope this helps.

The heat comes from your bbq. Just keep it on low. I love my smoke meister Check YouTube. You will find videos there

it will smoke through the vent...which is the stuff and moisture you are burning off which comes out of the ac system

The cord on the unit is one foot long. It has a two-prong male plug. You will need to get a heavy-duty extension cord long enough to reach the areas you want to blow off. In my opinion, this is an excellent leaf blower. It is very powerful and I much prefer it to my old gas-powered blower...no stinky gas, no mixing of gas and oil, and no endless yanking on a starter rope to try and start it.

Just keep one end of the cool tube open. Make sure you have at least a 6" 250 cfm fan blowing straight up and out of your area...you will still have a fair amount of smell, but you wont need a filter...this is what I do in my veg tent...hope this helps

Sorry for the late response but they will add a small amount of flavor, if you really want more smoke then check out a smoke daddy or what I actually prefer the AMNTS it is EXTREMELY easy to use and much cheaper and you don't have to modify your grill in any way. Check out the AMNTS and that will give you all of the smoke flavor that you truly seek! I can tell you that it will be hard to tell if it came from an offset smoker or a pellet grill, the flavor will be amazing!!!!

I used 2 units to convert my masterbuilt xl smoker. You'll need insulation of some sort, I have an old blanket I wrap mine in and cut a hole in it near the exhaust. With the blanket I can easily maintain 275 with elements on low. Propane is still usable on mine as well
