Every time I grill.

I have no way to back this up, but I remember watching a documentary when i was a kid with Jacques Cousteau and his explanation for this was that the heat from the fire reflects off of your body creating a draft, causing the smoke to go towards you. But on the bright side you get to smell delicious!

That's why I use propane because it's a clean burning fuel, I tell you hwhat.

zoltar_says · 7 months

I find this happens when I'm walking to class at uni... No matter the direction, the wind is always blowing right in my face. It's like the wind is saying "Hey asshole, take that. Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it. Just take it you whore."

Hey bro, there is a cover right there. Just there, right next to the grill.

All you have to do is say "I hate white rabbits" and the smoke will blow away from you. It works for campfires too

CircleHumper · 7 months

Try the phrase: "I love rabbits."

Works every time.

Was unaware of the "white rabbit" black magic. I was taught the incantation "I hate cats, I hate cats, I hate cats." Needless to say, I got a lot of smoke in my eyes...

awkward2488 · 7 months

I think someone explained this on another post awhile back, but its cause the fire pulls in air from all directions. Standing there blocks the suction of air creating a vacuum in front of you, so smoke gets blown into you no matter where you stand around the fire.

Yes, you are acting like a chimney. But the same thing seems to happen with cigarette smoke as well, if you don't smoke.

Try using an oil with a higher smoking point. http://thebbqgrail.com/2010/oil/ Here's a good article talking about different oils

jmarks7448 · 7 months

Same thing with bonfires

JonBonesJones · 7 months

Say, "Dead Rabbit" out loud 10x and the smoke will change direction.

I recently converted back to charcoal and I don't give a fuck about this or hank hill. Get the Jack Daniels coals/smokers and wow does the food taste a lot better. I want to grill something right now and I only ate a few hours ago.

If you say how much you hate bunnies (you don't have to mean it) the smoke will blow in the other direction. it works. trust me. the more vulgar the better.

At least it means the flies or mosquitoes (or whatever annoying insect you have in your part of the world) will be kept away from you.

Atario · 7 months

Also applies to campfires.

darthdrg · 7 months

I know this sounds stupid, but it is common knowledge in the sticks of Southeast North Carolina to say "I hate rabbits," anytime smoke blows in your face around a campfire (or in this case, a grill). Keep in mind you may have to say it a few times.

Yaberflap · 7 months

They say smoke follows beauty

Chren · 7 months

Same sort of thing happens when I bike

-haven · 7 months

tis a damn conspiracy!

Kickinback32 · 7 months

First off you are grilling wrong you fire will be way to hot if you leave the lid off. Close it and only allow a little airflow. It won't smoke you out and your food will be better.

Jasq · 7 months

Sheepfucker!

edit. It's a finnish saying, rough translation is "Smoke always follows the sheepfucker."

apullin · 7 months

It happens due to convention. The body generates a lot of heat, and you end up with a "convection plume", which rises, and draws air with it. As such, the smoke gets sucked in that direction. The result is that smoke "follows" you wherever you go.

Your body creates a minor thermal updraft which will draw smoke in still air.

chingyduster · 7 months

I used to find this with camp fires until my buddy told me to snap my fingers. So I did a few times and the fire went away. Weirdly it works every time.

king_hippo77 · 7 months

In scouts we used to say "Rabbit Rabbit" when the camp fire smoke was blowing at you and it would always redirect and smoke out some other poor scout.

nearbeer · 7 months

Say "white rabbit" as fast as you can until the smoke goes a different direction. I'm sure this works.

ashleyw · 7 months

When you walk around you can develop an electrical charge (especially when it is dry). This is known as the triboelectric effect.

The charge generated can be in the order of several thousand volts, but because the current is very low this is not dangerous. It can be painful however - this effect causes the zap you get sometimes when touching earthed metal objects such as door knobs, supermarket trolleys, cars etc.

The charge generated may be strong enough to attract smoke due to electrostatic attraction.

Also, the heat from your body will heat the surrounding air, and this warmer air will rise (in relatively still air). This may cause convection currents that 'suck in' nearby smoke, making it look like it is attracted to you.

Third World here, but we know how to grill. Build one of this, if well built, no more smoking problems, plus your meat will taste better.

So why don't u move the grilling area away from the sitting area. kinda sounds like a patrick meme

alltimeisrelative · 7 months

My Mum smokes and when I used to go outside to talk to her while she was smoking, her cigarette smoke would always follow me. You know what she said? "Smoke is attracted to beauty". I always thought it was a little BS (Sorry Mum, still love you <3).

notjawn · 7 months

It's like with bonfires, I swear every time after a bonfire I smell like butt and end up with a sinus infection.

nitetrip · 7 months

Next time the smoke goes in your face hold a clenched fist arms length in front of your face and stick up your thumb, while saying "aaaay" like the fonze. The smoke will go away. I don't know why it works, but it does.

I'm thinking of the draft created when you walk from one place to another while you're trying to avoid the smoke.... But then again, I have to put on swimming goggles to prevent myself from tearing up whenever I grill

ismelldeath · 7 months

There's a reason for this. The smoke and hot air rising from the grill creates a low pressure area between you and said grill, the smoke will then attempt to fill this low pressure area.
