There are these two Q' joints near me (in NC).
No matter what time of day...I never smell anything (good or bad)
coming out of either of them.
Strange to me because when I cook the whole neighborhood knows about
it!

That's one of the things I like about Lexington. The whole town smells like
Q. The smell around Stamey's in Greensboro is pretty delightful also.

We went to one in Seattle the other day and the guy actually had a bag of
matchlight on fire on the grill to create an aroma throughout the
neighborhood while he served us boiled ribs. This just gets funnier the more
I think about it.

out in the parking lot with smouldering hickory. Never any meat on
it, of course.

Somebody should go there and say, "as long as you're burning wood, do
you mind if I leave a couple of racks of ribs in there?"

I can remember when I used to to to our beach house on Hatteras Island
and would love to drive by Bubba's BBQ in Frisco, NC. The smell was
wonderful! My wife asked me last year if I thought their food was not
as good as it used to be. I replied, "Do you smell the smoke outside
anymore?" She realized that she had not smelled the smoke for several
years. We haven't eaten there since.

In the article on Barbecue joints in New York City, I think they mentioned
that even though they were actually smoking food for long periods you
could not smell smoke. The reason was they had to install special smoke
scrubbers to ensure they were not polluting the environment with smoke.
I obviously do not know the specifics about any of the places referred to,
but it is possible that some places may be doing this by law or to be
neighbourly. Much as I love bbq, I would not want to smell smoke 24 hours
a day, if I was living close to a restaurant.

I think I read somewhere just recently that, that is exactly the case.
The
environmental police cracked down and forced the installation of very
expensive 'smell' removal systems. One system I seem to remember
extended from the ground floor all the way through the twelfth story
roof. That's also a good reason for the lack of much real 'Q' in
Manhattan.

Folks,

I have had good Q from places without any smell at all ..... it all comes
down to the envirnmental regs in that province/state.

Without going into details, I did a show South of the 49th - and was asked
to close the smoker down (shocked us all - true American Q not allowed in
the states?).

Good thing I had pre-smoked ribs, porkand brisket just 4 hours away (a tough
night - but the show made it some what worth while)

The funny thing was that they did not ask that my grill be shut down. My
grill also burns logs - and to be honest, with 6 feet of grill, I can
produce more smoke than the pit anyday (as long as I am not grilling that
is)

Anyways folks - it is not what you smell that counts, but what it tasts like
that does
