Cooking outside makes somebody an inconsiderate banana split?
If he was cooking veggie burgers would you then approve?
If their smoke is billowing into someone else's house, then yes. Regardless of diet, it's banana splitish. The bloke complaining is a banana split too, as previously stated.
As previously stated it wasn’t “billowing”. He complained about smoke but was really talking about the smell of barbecue, which you can’t really do much about if you are barbecuing.
Do you really believe it’s banana splitish to have a barbecue in your garden?
Why make a poll if you can't handle the answers?!
No, it's not banana splitish really. I just like to take the balanced view.
I can handle the answers, I wasn’t even at the barbecue and I don’t have a garden so I have no stake in the game. A discussion needs arguments put forward though, I have also questioned barbecue fans.
I’m genuinely interested in what people think is and isn’t acceptable. My immediate thought when my mate was talking about it was that the neighbour ought to shut his windows. Then I wondered if I would be pissed off if I had to shut windows because of a neighbour and I then wasn’t sure what I thought. Hence asking the forum.
To those that think the barbecue is acceptable, what about cigarette smoke from a neighbours garden wafting over (like in Hyperion’s example)? Do you agree with the right to barbecue but not smoke in your own garden? If so, what’s the difference?
