The ac intake is just a few feet to the side of the stove. It is a small kitchen.
Whenever I use the smoker I have to turn off the heat/ac and shut the bedroom door to keep the fire alarm in the bedroom for going off. Then I put a small fan in the kitchen window pulling out air. You can stand it in here for about an hour and a half and then the smoke smell gets a bit much lol.
I cannot really use my grill pan much for the same reason. I put my electric grill on the counter close by the window and do the same thing with the fan.
