Oh. That must be where I've gone wrong all these years. I do it closed....but then I only broil tomatoes and green chiles. I'd really RATHER do them outside on the grill but sometimes I can't.

Wind, blizzard, etc.

I don't have a smoke alarm either, but I can SEE the smoke! LOL!That's when we open all the house doors and turn on the floor fans. Works pretty good except the dogs can escape out the open doors....
