Hello fellow smoke lovers,
I'm in a bit of a quandary here. I've recently moved from Long Island, NY where I was able to fire up my smoker without any worries from neighbors. Recently I have moved back to Brooklyn and have a very small patio that I'm working on.
I have always used lump hardwood charcoal, lighting it up with the chimney method. This produces an incredible amount of smoke, and I'm trying to find a way to get my smoker and fire going without the massive plumes and any crazy neighbors calling the fire department on me.
One thought is starting with Kingsford briquets in the chimney for the base, and then adding the good charcoal throughout cooking...the last thing I want to do is douse this stuff with lighter fluid.
Does anyone have any info or out of the box ideas for getting this going without alarming the neighbors?
Thanks so much!
