Right on. They can use an indoor grill. And vent it out through the piping on their roof.
A previous neighbors grill was located under their porch awning. We shared a wall and their porch awning vented directly into our microwave and range's rooftop vent. Whenever they grilled it flooded our unit. Dangerous pollution regardless of the smell. If we turned on the vent to prevent the intake it created negative pressure in our home and pulled their glade plugin scents through the wall.
- theGnuMe 4y agoturn the vent on and open a window on the opposite side, that will neutralize the negative pressure.
- _et33 4y agoOur unit was too small. And with the shared wall smells and smoke would pump out the attic vent on the opposite side of the unit where the other window was. This was especially bad when they had parties at their place and the smoke from cigarettes and vapes literally surrounded our entire unit. The previous tenants at the neighboring place had considerately placed their grill in the lawn area. And never had parties.
- tjrDL6MjB2Zwwa 4y agoAnd this is how you know this woman should lose. You're complaining about the smell of grilling. The other poster is complaining because they're vegan and they don't like the smell of cooking meat? At some point people are just going to complain because they don't want to be a decent neighbor and just deal with it. The neighbor is firing up the grill because they enjoy grilling.
- _et33 4y agoAnd people are playing bass thumping party music at midnight because they enjoy partying. Why the heck should that be unlawful but outdoor grilling shouldn't be?
- msrenee 4y agoBecause presumably the grilling is not happening at midnight and even if it is occuring at odd hours, it's not interfering with a household's ability to sleep.
- _et33 4y agoIf the noise is bothering them they can just use earplugs. ... Basically there are plenty of arguments to be made on why my fist swinging really isn't a problem for your nose. Be considerate. If you can't be considerate in advance (because you don't realize it's a problem), then try to find a reasonable solution when a neighbor tells you it's a problem.
- oaktrout 4y agoThe question is where do you draw the line? Hypothetical: the smell of flowers makes me sick, it's possible to garden indoors. I want you to remove your outdoor garden and grow your flowers indoors only. Is that fair?
- tjrDL6MjB2Zwwa 4y agoIf a neighbor comes and tells me my grilling is a fire hazard, we'll talk about it. If they tell me they don't like the smell, quite frankly I don't give a shit. But here's the thing. I used to live next to a neighbor who would a few times a year be noisy past the point of reasonableness. I never once complained to them about it. Why? It was birthday parties for their children, they were having fun in the backyard, yes, past dark as well. At some point being reasonable doesn't mean zero tolerance. And sound is disruptive in a way that smells are not. If this woman doesn't want to smell marijuana, she can close her windows and purchase a few air purifiers.
- msrenee 4y agoEarplugs are uncomfortable and interfere with hearing your alarm go off. It's not raw sewage. It's a grill. It's occuring during normal waking hours. There's an extent to which you have to deal with the fact that you're not the only person for 30 miles. I've got no sympathy.
- hgsgm 4y agoThe right to swing your fist/fish ends at my nose. Decent neighbors don't create nuisances.
- tjrDL6MjB2Zwwa 4y agoThe only interpretation of this post that isn't a clear strawman is that you're implying smells are akin to physical violence.
