@Bucky posted:There is nothing worse than having the neighbor next to you in an RV park fire up a smoker and fill your camper with smoke all day. I like smoked meats, but it's like having a smoky campfire a few feet from your camper door.
I have the ranger and haven't noticed so much smoke coming out of it during warmup (And once it's up to temp there's barely any smoke at all.) I agree if it's belching smoke and going right for a neighbor I'd be shutting it down (I tend to check wind direction before starting it.) But I've noticed the Ranger heats up pretty fast and gets past the smoky stage relatively quickly.
With regards to consideration for my neighbors, I would never fire it up at a true RV park (you know, where you can't swing a chock without hitting your neighbor). I do fire it up at state parks and typically don't have neighbors close enough to care. But if I get a comment from a neighbor it's usually "damn, that smells good!" I aim for "that smells good" not "<cough cough cough>"
