odd smell

[George Curtis]

was smoking some pork belly in my mini smoker. everything went well till i opened the lid to take them off. i smelled urine/ammonia kinda smell. no time earlier including 10 min earlier did i smell this. right now the cooker doesn't smell, the coals don't smell like that including the plastic comtainer i got them out of. the belly doesn'y smell nor does it taste bad. never had this. any ideas ??

Saw a similiar post once regarding Stubbs briquettes.

Got a male dog near by? Had this happen once and it like to run me nuts (not a far run) before I caught the culprit.

i do have a dog but the mini was covered. didn't smell anything till i took the meat off.
