Smoking out the Neighbors in Carlsbad Ca.

[Mike C]

Almost finished, actually my neighbor peeked over the fence to tell me he loves the smell of the smoke.

Had the similar experience. Livining in the outskirts of NYC. First fire I lit I started having panic attacks from smoking out the neighbors and fearing they will call the Fire Department. All turned out fine, and for the next 3 days had neighbors telling me they loved the smell. and they want an invite.

Pass out a pizza now and then to your neighbors and I promise you won't get any complaints.

Good neighbor. Now pat him on the head and give him some pizza.

Mike, great looking oven. Wish I could smell it over here in Valley Center.

Oh Trust me! first gathering I have once the oven is complete will be the "Neighbor appreciation Gathering!" for Pizza and Wine... But lucky for me they are good Neighbors! they have put up with a LOT of noise coming from that Brick cutter! and now smoke! Like I said here in the City where the lots are only 40' wide.. your neighbors are a little tooo close!

I agree a little pizza and treats make good neighbors, keep practicing with the fire, before long you will be able to get a minimal amount of smoke. I am still in the hit and miss stage as far as smoke goes. You could also surprise your neighbors with their favorite item, turkey, ribs, steaks and such. I am pondering a bring your own entree item night to share and have them cook it in a 3/4 fired oven. In your third photo is that a steel plate or plywood for your IT on the floor of your oven under the fire?

It was the plywood template. Pics are out of order. That was one of the earlier fires.
My political approach is to ask them for an ethnic recipe that we can try. So far i was offered a Russian lamb dumping and an Italian stew... We'll see...when the oven is done.

I apologize for hijacking this thread. I will start a new thread once i get home.
