Smokeless BBQ's Less Irriating
New designs for small barbecue units are capitalizing on a niche market by offering the tasty benefits of grill cooking without spreading irritating odors and smoke. According to manufacturers, the grill is heated on a traditional cooking surface (outdoor gas BBQ, indoor electric stove, etc.), but sits over a shallow pan of water designed to catch and extinguish dripping fat and food and prevent odors caused by burning or smoldering against the heat source. Where balcony cooking is allowed, condo dwellers may enjoy the benefits of BBQ cooking without disturbing neighbors with odors and smoke.
