Smoke and trees

I'd worry more about the house.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Didn't know people had issues with smoke and trees. I could see the heat maybe having some effect....but smoke? At any rate....I believe you are in good shape there.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax
Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life,
Run me out in the cold rain and snow -
Nope. I have a couple near my egg. All good.
The house is the real concern. Especially with high heat cooks or just grease splatter. -
What's the reasoning on that? I wouldn't think any embers would pop as soon as the lids shut and I am there the whole time at start. Maybe I am not thinking something out.

I agree on high heat but then I love it but really font do much high heat cooks.

Probably better safe than sorry though point taken.

When u open it up that heat comes out further than u think. It will warp the siding (or peel the paint if that wood) with he high heat. I've seen it happen.

At the very least, you will have black smudges on your siding (from opening your dome). At worst, you will lose your house like @Nature Boy did.
Glad to see that it's not on a wooden deck anyway.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

It doesn't happen often but the ceramic could crack and dump a load of hot coals. What happens then? Wood house? Wood deck? Need to balance the possible consequences with how you setup and use your egg.
