Default back yard smokers

I am planning to move to TV as soon as my house sells (please pray for me - I just want what you have!) and I love to use my smoker for smoking meats. Am I going to run into a problem? It is small, no bigger than a bbq.
Thanks

Should be no problem. I use an electric smoker periodically for turkey breasts. The only problem I've encountered is keeping my neighbors away until they're done. Yes, the aroma permeates the neighborhood, but anyone who objects to the smell of a smoker should be exiled to an island in the Dead Sea.

Keeping the neighbors away has always been a problem. They now ask me if I am smoking this weekend and if I will throw on a slab of ribs for them! I think there could be a business in this some day.

I cook out two to three times a week with no problem. Usually the neighbors are out eating in restaurants.

I do get compliments about the aroma.

If we promise to pray extra hard that your house sells, do we get invited over for some smoked ribs? Get the feeling you've found your biggest in having a smoker is everyone wanting some? Some things don't change.
