Screened porch vs BG Egg
Posted on 3/25/24 at 2:45 pm

I’m thinking of screening in my back porch with an existing outdoor kitchen.
Will a screened porch capture too much smoke from my big green egg?
I suppose I could vent it but would probably look dumb.
The side facing the back yard is 14’wx9’h
And the 2 side panels are 3’w by 9’h
Smoke is not a problem right now except the rare occasion when the wind is just right.

Blackstone is the way to go on a screened porch. I've got a little grilling deck outside of my screened in area. When we had the deck built, our contractor was going to make a small landing at the top of the stairs, but I told him I wanted room for a grill there, so he made it about 6-7 feet long and 3 feet wide rather than a 3x3.

Too much BGE smoke trapped by screen. My dad made this mistake. For a while he was propping the door open and put his huge industrial garage fan on the porch blowing the smoke out, but it was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk

Some pictures of your outdoor kitchen area, the ceiling, and the roof line, would probably produce more suggestions as to a solution. For example, my outdoor kitchen is a stand alone structure with a typical 8/12 pitch roof. The top of the roof line has a ridge vent, and inside the structure I have two 52" ceiling fans that run in reverse. The system is silent, but very efficient. I can use my smoker, my charcoal grill, and my gas grill all at the same time and not have any issues with smoke. Plus we can sit in the area and carry on a quiet conversation, or watch a game on the tv.

Do you have any way to run either an exhaust hood or a fan to pull the smoke out? The screen will capture the smoke.

I have my grills on my screened porch and I’m getting ready to move them out. The smoke is a mess. On the screens and the ceiling. It’s nice to be able to grill in any weather but it is an awful mess and a fire hazard.

I have a Hood for my stove that I’ve never installed. After a few trial runs I felt it was not needed.
My wife now wants to go with the roll up screens. Fml.
I’m guessing my costs just tripled or more.

I stayed in a rental last Thanksgiving that had a BGE on a screened in porch. They had the egg right up on the edge with a box fan hanging over it blowing outward. I don't know if it would work for heavy, billowing smoke, but it worked for the turkey we smoked.
Not sure if you want a big box fan hanging up, but outside of some sort of vent hood or something like that, you're going to fill it up with smoke with any type of BGE-like grill.
