I have a no smoking restaurant located on the Main Street level of an old historic building. Within the building in the basement below our space, there is a bar which allows smoking. Smoke wafts up through the building and can be smelled in our...

Does the smoke wreak through the floor? I would run the ozonator at overnight and then turn it off and just run the ionizer all of the time to circulate the air. The first Living Fresh Ionizer I purchased was when I lived in Indiana and had a massage therapy business and did a lot of essential oils and pain creams; worked wonderful on the odor as I had many clients with allergies. The last Ionizer (this one), I purchased because I had renters that had 2 dogs I didn't know about and pretty much ruined the cement floor in the sunroom. The stench was awful so after scrubbing the sunroom floor about 5 times, I purchased the ionizer and it took care of it beautifully!! The only other thing I can say is that the ozonator is pretty strong on the lowest setting so you would have to adjust accordingly but I think it would work for you. Maybe you could talk to the person who has the bar below you and suggest he purchase one to help both of you....you surely can't beat the price and its worth a try....If something happens to the one I have, I will buy another!! hope this helps

I use it in non smoking environment. However the instruction manual says it will eliminate smoke odor but when using it for that feature do not use the ionizer. It may be very helpful but I'll bet it is not going to remove the odor from clothing, hair and furniture

There is some smoke, but not much at all. Hasn't set off my smoke alarm. It's built the same way as all the other "smokeless" grills where the heating element is in the grid and drippings don't drip down onto a heat source. The drip tray is deep and could be filled with water, but the instruction booklet says nothing about it and I've found no reason to do it. I'd be afraid it might cause more of a "steamed" flavor to the food. It seems to be far enough away from the grill top that what's in it doesn't dry out and smoke. After a little soak, it cleans up with absolutely no effort and looks brand new. I believe it's stainless steel. The other brands may recommend using water because the drip pan is closer to the heating element or made of a material that doesn't withstand heat or clean up as well. This grill may smoke a touch more than competing brands due to the higher temperature I think it acheives. I wouldn't have it any other way though. Food really does taste "grilled" and a bit smokey like it was cooked on a gas grill. The older design electric grills with the heat source under the grid are still sold, but no longer recommended or sold for indoor use due to much more smoke, flame and a much greater chance of fire. They won't clean up like this grill does either.

The smoker was a gift to my brother-in-law and I asked him. He said he didn't think it would be a problem. He has his on a wood deck but hasn't seen anything alarming.

You need to Take the grate out and dump some on. If food already on, then plan ahead so you don't. For what it's worth, I've never run out even when it's smoker.

Linda, yes, do "smoke" it. Preferably in a well-ventilated place, such as, an open porch area.

Smoke detectors: Yes, but it takes ALOT of smoke to cause that, have fans circulating air in the room and it will help it keep from building up. No to the sticky residue, that mostly depends upon the solution you are using. Stick with the recommended fog and you should be fine, same for food.

It could produce a lot of smoke if allowed to really heat up, but as a cook I heat to the point of light smoke then add the food, so using it inside without a vent isn't an issue.

It does generate a fair amount of smoke. My wife made me use it outside to keep the smell at bay. The one time we used it inside it did not set our detector off.

I use mine often while hunting. The vent on the unit above the heating mat gets warm, almost hot to the touch. Smoke emits from the top, and there is a pleasant smell. If used inside, I would have it near an open window.

Irina, I don't smoke, however when I have patio parties at my house I have friends that smoke out side and some times the smell comes in the house and the Austin Air takes it out, I do however have two dogs and the air is clean. both the dogs and I have allergy and it helps for that, you need to keep it on and in a area that works for the whole house.Hope this helpsPatricia

It does. I have a neighbor that smokes...if I smell it I turn the fan to high and the smell goes away quickly. I used to be a heavy smoker, If you or a family member is a smoker I would keep it running all the time on medium or high, it would help a lot with keeping the smell out of upholstery, furniture clothes etc. have not tested this though.

I'm a photographer, and I smoke in my studio. Models always come in and exclaim, "You SMOKE in here? I can't even smell it!" I smile, and ask them what they do smell. Their answers are always some part of the ingredients in Fresh Wave. I love this product: it's in my entryway; my office; all my bathrooms; on my stairwell; my hallways; the armoire; closets; bedrooms; kitchen; living room; dining room. For each space, I select an appropriate-sized container. These are all the spaces where I photograph models, and no one has ever reported an unpleasant odor - and I do ask. Replace each month. It's a wonder, for keeping everything fresh and without offense. ~ Louise I'm a photographer, and I smoke in my studio. Models always come in and exclaim, "You SMOKE in here? I can't even smell it!"

We are very happy with the quiet and the dust removal.. AND I can't help with your specific question, we don't smoke and have not had cooking or other smoke.

Yes, we only use it indoors. Very little smoke/fumes. We use it by the patio doors just in case we need to open them for ventilation and I keep a small fan nearby to "engourage" any smoke to move the way we'd like. Portability is its greatest feature.

I get plenty of smoke without the smoke generator. There is a nice smoke ring on all the meats, so far. An add on shelf that collapses or is easily removed would be a nice feature.

With some of the wood products out there (any that you have to soak) you really need to have it on top of the flavor bars to have enough smoke produced. If you are using something like "Mojobricks" (which Ive been using for the last few years) you can put it anywhere.
