Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

The wife and I spent Christmas with her family in Lakeland FL this year. I drove back by myself Thursday so I can go back to work this week. She will be staying in FL until next Sunday when her and my two children fly back home. I'm thinking....I have the whole house to myself. Can't sleep....why not fire up a smoke. Currently 19 degrees outside (here in Winston Salem NC), so don't wanna go out there. I pretty much have the basement to myself in this house, it's finished with carpet and drop ceiling. Not much chance of the smell getting into the 1st or second floor of the house. Anyway, she's 650 miles away, and I have 7 days and a full bottle of febreze.... Also have a large sliding glass door down here to help with the airing out process tomorrow.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. Go for it. And I feel you on the cold (being only about 90 minutes south of W-S).

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I smoke in my basement (finished) several times a week, and can't usually tell by the next morning.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I like that, Definitely true!

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Go for it... just be prepared for the consequences!!!;)

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Smoke with the glass door open and the heater on. When you are done dump the butts before you go to sleep. The next morning spray down with Oust or another odor neutralizer. Last thing before she gets home is to use Carpet Fresh and vacuum. I smoke daily in my house and clean and spray before my grandkids come to visit. Works like a charm! :tu

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I was just thinking about doing the same being the temperature here is even worse, -5. so theres no way im goin out there. but then weighing the consequences if i did would probably worse than suffering out there for an hour so ill just wait till tomorrow :( If i was in your situation though id light up.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I ain't got the stones for that caper... no way no how.. good luck to you though.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I smoke in my house, and you can't even tell after a couple of hours. Go for it! :ss

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I Wouldn't Do It!!!! Women Can Smell "Anything" & "Everything"!:r:tu

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I tried that before. She found out and I agreed never to smoke in the house again. End of Story.

Another words, GO FOR IT!!!

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Tell her it was a late Xmas gift for yourself.
On a real note, I hear coffee beans gets the smell out very fast.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

You could always tell her it's better than the other odours you produce :)

I smoked new years with a little honeywell air purifier going next to me so I could be part of the party. Next morning you could not smell a thing and my fiance is one to notice.

How do you keep them lit?

So did you do it, David?

:tpd: So true...like a blood hound on a hunt!

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

This is so unfortunately true.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

My wife has allowed me to smoke in the house for the last couple of days due to the crappy weather outside. I use a small fan with a couple of windows cracked and a candle burning it's done he job thus far.


:ss

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Do you use one of the scented candles while you smoke? Or a plain candle? I would think the scented candle might help with the smell afterwards, but I wouldn't want that scented crap in the air while I'm smoking!!

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I didn't last night. Fell asleep in my chair down here. I most defiantly will do it this evening though! Gotta head out for a few thing, probably pick up a few smokers candles and an extra bottle of febreze while I'm out. But this is defiantly happening this evening!

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

It's just one of my wife's candles she has lying around the house. I think the big thing is getting as much smoke outside as quickly as possible so, IMHO having good ventilation is the important thing for smoking in your home.

I think you should put together a lil herf and pop in "Risky Business!"

:r BTW Ask "smitdavi" How That "Smoking In The House With The Window Open" Worked!:r

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Just got back in from running around doing some things. Now, just to decide what I'll have.....

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

I suggest a Churchill. ;)

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Guilty, Jerry. :r

Nice to see you. :)

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Make sure it's a good one as it may end up being far and few times you get to do it.

You are assuming David has no nutz. That ain't so, right David? :D

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

That's correct! Digging through the coolers now! A few things on TV this evening.....I prob have time for 3 cigars....maybe 4 if I feel the urge. I'm gonna slip the glass door open a bit and set up a box fan blowing out. Not sure how well it will work because my chair is roughly 15ft from the door. Also though about maybe removing 2-3 of the ceiling tiles above my chair. Let the smoke get above the drop ceiling....lol.

Pics of basement room right before I moved in. Only been here a month, so don't have any pics with my stuff in there yet. Anyway, the cable wires over near the glass door are where the computer sits, the other wires are where my big screen sits. My chair is on the opposite wall across from the TV, where I will be smoking. White door near the glass door in the picture leads to the garage. In the second picture, that open way has another door to the garage just beyond it, and to the right inside the open way (out of sight) in the stairs leading up to the first floor, with a door closed at the top. Smell shouldn't go up there..

Light 'em up!! :tu :D :ss

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Lol this reminds me of a kid throwing a party while his parents are out of town and planning to get rid of all the evidence.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

Exactly!:r

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

lol, Oh I'm putting alot of thought and planning into this! My wife isn't that bad though. I've made her mad a few times but it was always something a bit worse, like burning up a good pot or something. Easily fixed by just buying her a new one. I love hot pepper and hot sauces, I make alot of beef jerky. I dried alot of Habaneros on the dehydrator once, and ground them up in the blender when making a sauce. She came home while that dust was still in the air. I caught hell over that one as she can't stand hot stuff. Eyes watering, nose running, all the windows open, etc. If she does smell it, she'll just roll her eyes an probably have a smart comment about it. If nothing else, it will help me pave the way for getting my smoking room built. Planning to covert a large area in the 2 car garage into a smoking room in the next year or two. She insist on parking in the garage, but I could care less, so I park my vehicle outside where vehicles belong.

Re: Thinking about firing one up......in the house
 

If It's that big of a worry, might I suggest....your car. You can keep warm, listen to music, good ventilation and best of all, they usually have one of their own. Just remember to keep the window cracked, or it'll stink terrible for weeks.

Sounds Like You "Might" Be OK; No Guarantees, Though! Should Be Interesting!:tu
