Who’s correct?

Fed up talking videogames? Why?

Which party do you side with?

I’m on the side of the people barbecuing, shut your damn window if you don’t like it!

I’m on the neighbours side, people should be able to open their windows without getting barbecue smoke inside!

Someone in my apartments smokes on their balcony first thing in the morning so their cancer cloud drifts into everyone's apartments. Wish they'd hurry up and die

Correct. But the smoke comes from fat dripping on the hot coals/lava rock, the only taste you will get from charcoal exclusively is lighter fluid.

1. If someone knows what they are doing they use a chimney to get their charcoal lit, not lighter fluid.

2. If you are talking about proper barbecue then the smoke comes from burning chunks of wood along with the charcoal or by using a smoke generator on your gas grill like that Amazen Smoker Tube. That involves low and slow cooking though.

3. Outdoor grilling and barbecue are not the same thing.

I reckon they're both banana splits. One is an inconsiderate carnivore and the other is a whinging little bitch who can't handle the idea that sometimes gooseberry fool happens.

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.

Plainly you need to attend your friends next barbecue and see if he is actually causing clouds of smoke to pollute his neighbourhood or if he is telling the truth and the neighbour was crying about the smell.

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?

Agreed but I'd bet that 99% of people who use a charcoal barbeque are not using wood to smoke the meat for hours at a time so there is little to no difference wth using charcoal and a gas burner to heat lava rock in must situations.

Barbecues smell fantastic, cigarette smoke smells like dog gooseberry fool and kills us all.
