    But the taste of food on an egg...i cant let it go, i just cant

    I get it, & there’s also a enjoyment factor cooking on the egg, but cooking food on a metal cooker using the same fuel & smoking woods you use on the egg will yield the same tasting food so really you’re not giving anything up; ceramics certainly have their advantages over metal & most involve stability, efficiency/longevity of cook & so forth, but flavor, uh uh, that’s a myth.  If, and I realize this is a big if, you know how to operate a metal cooker it will perform flawlessly in the flavor department.

    I live on the top floor of an apartment with room for exhaust. I try to get egg going as quickly as i can. Once it gets to 350, no problems. 

    Had some people say "it smells like a campfire", but i thought that was a good thing.

    I think our local fire department has us penciled in as the "house that cried wolf", insofar as the smoke we generate.  Not an apartment, but close quarter hood. 

    Feed your neighbors and they won't (less likely) rat you out.  If you let stuff get into the passive-agressive stage, nothing good will come out of it.

    I lived in a condo and got onto the regulating condo board. They were against all charcoal grills at one meeting and I was for it. I held the next meeting at my place and cooked for all of them, and educated them a bit more about the egg and Kamados in general. Needless to say the board now approves Kamado grills, and it was written into the Condo bylaws.

    Fight the 'system' from the inside, that's the way to do it!!
