anyone get sick from...

93civEJ1 · 01-22-2012, 06:48 PM

smelling like or smelling smoke too much? I am beginning to think that if I smell smoke or smell like smoke on my clothes too long, eventually it starts to make me sick feeling. Does anyone else experience this? Not the smell of good smoked food, but just the scent left behind on things.

I know a championship BBQ cook that's actually allergic to the smoke that comes from his cooker. So, yeah, it's possible.

I hope you are just going through a phase and will get over it, though.

Bummer!!

Personally, no issues, if I don't smell smoke (apple) on my clothes, I get ill.....

I'd suggest that you keep a couple of changes of clothes handy while cooking BBQ. My wife complains sometimes when I am cooking BBQ like she did this afternoon. But, I take that as a badge of honor.

yeah, i reek of smoke after standing over it, and sitting by it etc throughout the day. haha...

the smoke does not bother me. Well I really don't hang around the smoke. I set it up go make my mixed drink or just grab a cold one. It might be a different story if I was outside the whole time with the smoker.

Way back when on my Bandera I was having fire issues and kept sticking my face in the firebox to blow on the embers. What I didn't realize was that I was also inhaling a ton of smoke in the process.
By the time the brisky was done, I was so nauseous that I couldn't even eat it. So yeah, it certainly does happen!

You sure it ain't the Three Olives "Dude" makin' you sick

Pappy · 01-22-2012, 08:35 PM

I think the smoke makes my head stuff sometimes.

BarbequeKansasCity · 01-22-2012, 09:43 PM

Been there... Now most of the time I stay away from the smoker after its going. I would think about putting an exhaust stack on it to help avoid the smoke bath and a couple of wireless thermos so you can be a few feet away.
Just my 2cents.
