Hi everyone, I live "in town" and am always concerned that my Traeger smoke might annoy my neighbors. I myself have had to shut all my windows and doors at times, during the summer, due to smoke from someone's bbq (not sure whose).
So I'm wondering if anyone has tried or heard of making a smoke filter of some kind.
Now, I know some people's firs tot instinct is to offer the neighbors some bbq but I am trying to figure out what's feasible.
It crossed my mind that it would be easy enough to rig up a hood and use my small shop vac to suck up the smoke, I could even run it through one of those vortex buckets. Problems are that first of all it is way more suction than is needed, plus it would probably burn up the motor to leave it on for so long. Though I do have hepa bags for it which might help.
I'm going to get a new Traeger, the silverton 620, which has the downdrafting vents and no smokestack.
I want to just throw this open to your experience, knowledge, and brainstorming.
Thanks !!!
