    @SJEgg In order to paint a better mental picture of the situation, how far away are your houses? 

    Fair question. It's California so we are close. The smoke, some days, will go over the fence. Other days it goes towards my house.

    Ya that's at least 20-30ft between your egg and her house. She can get over it. Better yet, complain that her crappy cheap Christmas lights on her back porch shine into your dining room and bother you when you are trying to have a nice dinner with your family

    I'm thinking she will complain about the noise of the fan if you turn it on to blow the smoke away. Some people would complain if you gave them a thousand dollars in 1 dollar denominations.

    Cook a nice meal on the egg and invite them over for dinner one of the first night's they're there.  Who wants to cook when you're sweaty and tired and the house is full of boxes?  Beer, wine, and then show them the egg you cooked that meal on.  If you don't hit it off then, the situation will forever be hopeless.  In which case, they might have to disappear...
    I've done that. Her response is, "I won't put those toxins in my body."
    Pisses me off, and she's not even my neighbor.  Sorry you have to put up with that.  Some people are just a-holes.

    I have a fan next to my eggs to blow the smoke into the vegetatians' yard, which is maybe 10 feet from my egg.  They never complain though. I don't complain about their 6 misfit dogs barking.  I just turn the music up louder.

    Seriously, we're good friends with all our neighbors.  Had some bad ones a while back but they left and it's been nirvana.

    I did have one neighbor call me after midnight during a crawfish boil and he asked to turn it down.  We actually had a band playing outside.  Well, that is if you can call two guys with guitars and amps a band.  But it was all good.

    Have a truck of manure delivered  - have it dropped right onto her driveway (pay cash)

    Then she'd have some shlt to complain about.  

    Every time she complains after that, you won't be able to stop smiling.

    haha I had to go there to see if it was real. Man, I can think of around 10-15 people that need this done to them just off the top of my head.

    They came without gear, that's whatever crap they could find that worked laying around the house.

    The guy on the right is Vinny Raniolo, who you may have heard of if you're into gypsy jazz.

    He often plays with Frank Vignola.  



    The other guy is my buddy Henrik, a retired (not by choice) Dane engineer who just plays for fun.

    That's cool. I was just kidding... I've got an amp on CL right now to help fund an offset smoker.

    Yeah, I know.

    I almost pulled the trigger on a 100 watt 2x12 Budda combo amp at a pawn shop the other day.   $1700 off new price, but it turned out to have a bad hum, and it would have maybe been a good investment, but I would have never used it.  Money better spent going up in smoke in other ways.

    On the old forum years ago, there was a guy in Florida who posted about a crazy old man who lived next door to him. He supposedly walked outside to see the old man carrying a bucket of water heading toward his smoking egg.

    Most of the time, they embrace it.  If they don't, there are deeper issues there!

    I don't know where these neighbors come from?  I've never had any problems with a neighbor.  Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe they just enjoy the free samples.

    If I see a guy in my backyard messing with my grills he is clearly requesting hospital food.

    People are insane.

    All my neighbors have gassers, which they seldom use.
    I use my Egg an average of at least twice a week all year long.

    You would not believe how often I get: 
    "Hey, were you using your grill yesterday?"
    "Sure"
    "Man, that smelled good."
