Live in Issaquah, WA, just east of Seattle, and really appreciate finding this forum. Just about this far (1/2" or so) from buying a GMG Jim Bowie, but before I do, I would like your help with a couple of concerns. We live in a town house, sharing a common wall with one other person, and across a small street from a several story tall condo. Our patio isn't exceptionally large, but more than enough room for the smoker. But, here are the concerns I'm hoping you folks can help me with (particularly anyone with a GMG grill). They are:
1. Amount of noise from fan/auger, etc. - Some of the videos I've watched for smoker grills makes me wonder how loud the things are. I certainly plan to run my smoker at night, probably all night, and I don't want to get letters from irritated neighbors.
2. Amount of smoke - same issues.
Don't misunderstand. We don't have sensitive neighbors, but too much would be too much. And yes, I can always invite them to enjoy the fruits of my labors, but OMG, not every time!
Thanks for any help
