BBQ smell

I just run away from any smoke that comes out. Tough to do in a swirling wind though, that took a lot of practice.
Seriously though, I just shower and scrub well. Seems to do the trick.

It's a badge of honor. Wilma confessed she's not enammered with the Egg smell, but she loves the results and gladly supports my obsession.Flint, Michigan

The other day, a buddy of mine was coming over to a playground/park right across from our house and he was able to smell my Q in the backyard. He called me up to ask what I'm cooking. Needless to say, I wonder if I have a "stalker" friend and need to keep him out but that's the beside the point. Point is those smoke smell carries over quite a long distance.
I say get rid of anything that touches it. As Seinfeld puts it "This is not just an odor - you need a priest to get rid of this thing! It clings to everything. ... It's a presence! It's The BEAST!"

Adult answer here, not as much fun as the others, but this is what I was told:
Years back, I served on my local Volunteer Fire Department. We always smelled of smoke for some time after a conflagration and tried many unsuccessful ways to get the smell off. It does cling in your hair, but for the most part it is in your body. You also inhale smoke when you grill and it goes from your lungs and nasal membranes into your blood stream. Your body expels it through you sweat glands and other eliminations. This info came from a doctor so I believe it to be true. I would always notice the smell for several days when showering and washing underarms in particular. Maybe I was more sensitive as I was a non smoker.

I had a dude that I know come over on his bike and knock on my gate one day while I was cooking ribs. He said "I smell that $hit in the street!" He has an egg too so he knew what was up.

Shower usually works, but if it is a long cook and my clothes are getting bad I'll do a few shots of Febreeze.

My team at work went back to my house today for lunch and fired up the large and made grilled chicken, sauted garlic and onion and cheese quesadillas today for lunch and everyone that comes into my office keeps looking around for BBQ. Has to be the best smell in the world.

I particularly like to fire up the Egg when my neighbors are having a party and there's about 15 people at their pool. I make them smell that all day long.

I'm to the point where if I don't smell like burning lump I think something is wrong. I have an old sweatshirt that I wear when cooking during the cold months and it never gets washed. Smells like heaven to me. Someone here on the forum a while back had an egg stolen and it was suggested that all he had to do to find the culprit was go around town smelling guys shirts. I got a laugh out of that.Mike

In some cultures and at my house, BBQ smoke is considered a aphrodisiac according to SWMBO. Who am I to argue with an expert?1 Large BGE, 1 Mini BGE, 1 Minimax BGE, Original wife and 3 dogs living in the heart of BBQ country in Round Rock Texas.
