Patio Toms & BBQ Smoke.. is it Ok??

[chanceysmama]

Will the smoke from my bbq grill hurt my tomato and pepper plant on my deck?

How close are they? And how often do you BBQ? If you're thinking something along the lines of "second hand smoke" I would not worry in the least. If the tomato plant hangs over the grill, you might find yourself singeing a few leaves.

Granny, They are in buckets about 8ft or so away from the grill so scinging them is not an issue, I just had no idea if the smoke blowing on them might bother them, depending on which way the wind is blowing sometimes it gets kind of thick. I didnt want to choke them.(haha) I'm still learning, and had alot of problems with the ones in my garden and put these out to make sure I have tomatoes all summer long just in case the garden doesnt make it. Thanks for the response, I was beginning to wonder if I stumped a few of the pros here or what since no one was responding. I am not going to worry about th second hand smoke then, I maybe BBQ twice a week if the weather is nice.
