Have you ever been confronted by neighbours about smoke from your pit?   Some fo you don't have that concern due to distance..As Davey Crocket said, it' time to move when I can see smoke from my neighbours chimney on a calm day.

 If there was an issue, how was it handled?

No issues only told it smelled really good.

Same here, no issues

3 of my neighbors now own pellet pits due to smelling, seeing and tasting the food that came off of mine.
If they were stick burners belching out thick white smoke it may have gone differently

My neighbors are used to my smoke.  Their only complaint has been it smells too good.

My patio adjoins the neighbors.  The previous owner would leave their patio screen door open so I could not smoke in the summer time out of consideration for her.  She passed away and we have new neighbors.  They love the smoke smell so much that he bought a Memphis Pro as well.

Read a story a while back about a POA that was going to fine people if their bbq smoke
wasn't contained to their property. I believe it was in Florida.
I believe if I lived in that neighborhood the least of their worries would be smoke from my pit. 

Nothing but compliments here.

Well... there was that one time when I relit my pit after a flameout the night before. 

A couple of ladies were walking their dogs when I stepped out onto the deck to behold a HUGE ugly yellowish smoke pouring outta my Jr. Seriously, a pit this small shouldn't be able to belch that much smoke.   

They asked if everything was ok and I assured them it was.

A true evangelist!

Before I got my pellet grills, I used propane vertical smokers.  On one of my first cooks right after moving into my place, the vertical got really hot in the beginning and started belching out lots of white smoke.   I heard the neighbor behind me saying "No, it is just a grill, the house is not on fire."   Now i just get  "were you cooking this weekend?"

No complaints

neighbors come over and usually ask me what I am smoking today.  I will normally offer up some of what I am smoking to them. That is why they keep coming over!

Ironically I get the same response here.  So nice to have good neighbours.

I had a horrible piece of junk Charbroil infrared gas grill that had grates and IR generators that would rust if not completely seasoned.  The problem was—cooking on it would burn off the seasoning.

So, I'd regularly season it with various oils.  The resulting smoke would stink up my deck and carry on the wind.  My neighbor would close her windows but never complained.  She once asked what I was cooking.

Now, when I use my PG500 she always tells me that it smells fine and makes her think of a cabin in the woods.  We often share the food with her.
