How much space does the smoker need? Does it have to be outside on deck or can I

use it on a screened porch? Screening is from bottom to top, so there is plenty of airflow but there is a roof over it.

Thanks

1w1,

I run my OBS inside of my well house, about a foot away from the wall and it does have a comp roof on it, with no problems at all the BS is well insulated so the outside does not carry much heat at all.  I will say from experince they are also well built if there were a problem, say from a flare up inside!

Mine has been on my screened patio for 2+ years.

Thanks, good to know. This way I can keep it out there all year and use in all weather.
