It’s for smoking meat, but it does not put off an objectionable amount of smoke. There was no mention of asthma, (wouldn’t have made any difference mind you) I think they were just ridiculously entitled 🤣
It probably smelled too good and was making them hungry lmfao, but if it were me I would have said “Can I throw a couple bucks at you and have you smoke some extra for me next time you do this?”
Is it? To be clear I’m american and Ive been around smokers a lot, so yeah maybe but also I feel like I can approach this with some personally lived life experience? They do put out some smoke but if you’ve ever had a bonfire- is that also an american thing??? I know smores are an american thing (youre missing out.) anyways it’s less smoke than a bonfire.
Part of what a smoker does is keep the smoke contained so the meat has time to absorb the smoke flavor.
It does however let some smoke out since it needs airflow, it makes the whole area smell amazing and lasts hours and hours.
(1) 1 acre is 4,047m^2. If it were a perfect square it would have a edge length of 64m (209ft). This means that the houses are separated by about that distance.
(2) Asking a Texan to not smoke meat on their own property will get you laughted at regardless of context. Texas.
Some people have smokers even in suburban homes. These guys had an acre of land between them. There’s no way a smoker would have produced enough smoke to bother her, especially if she just stayed inside.
@Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio I don’t know what a smoker is, but I presume it… gives off smoke?
If said wife is asthmatic I can imagine how it could bother her. Smoke does seriously affect people with lung diseases.
Of course, that doesn’t give anyone the right to demand anything. But it may help understand where they’re coming from 🤷

Hell yeah, I will happily cook any meat people bring me lol. You ain’t gotta pay me, just let me quality test a few bites 🤣
Can I be your neighbour!?!
That is… a very American assumption.
