burning wood bothersome?

| We have new neighbors and they burn wood every night...so far for 4 weeks straight. If we are in our backyard playing with our dog, we all smell like a campfire when we come in. We've lived in the neighborhood for over 10 years, and have never experienced this. We like to spend a ton of time in our screened porch/patio area in the spring/fall/summer but I'm not sure how we'll stomach this. Anyone else have neighbors that do this? This is an affluent higher density area and not as if they are burning wood for heat. I don't think its kind/fair for me to bring it up with the neighbor but its hard not to be annoyed. Don't their clothes smell too? |

They're burning wood in an indoor fireplace and the smoke leaving the chimney causes your clothes to smell? That's very odd, smoke typically goes up and disperses. Can you put a fan on your porch?
I wouldn't assume they aren't burning it for heat. I've considered a wood stove to augment my electric heat in a cold part of the house. If that's the case, they're unlikely to continue once it warms up. |

This is why I’m never going to live in an “affluent high-density area”.
Because there’s always going to be a high density of entitled that will complain about every g******d thing under the sun. Please stay in the ‘burbs. Don’t move out any further than that. Otherwise you’ll be complaining about the smells from my horses, noise from farm equipment, dust from plowing, mowing and harvesting, gunfire, open burning, livestock noise and everything else people like you complain about as soon as you move to “horse country”. We got flooded with noobs during the pandemic and the b***hing was endless. |

| Are they using a fire pit, or using their fireplace? I cannot imagine anyone who could afford a home in an affluent area would have an issue with someone using their own fireplace. |

| outdoor firepit? Or inside fireplace? |

| The horror. Have you tried calling the police? Or asking to speak to their manager? |

Truly affluent people never purchase wood that would smoke. It's only the nouveau riche that purchase inferior wood. |

Maybe have your staff talk to their staff to find out what's going on.
If it continues, you could always stalk them to New York, stay at a hostel under a fake name, shoot them in cold blood, and escape on an e-bike. That's apparently ok now. |

The house next door has a fireplace and if our side window is open smoke comes in. I always make sure it's never opened in winter.

| I burn for heat because I’m poor. I collect wood from high density affluent neighborhoods and pollute up my diverse pg county neighborhood. If you knocked on my door and asked me to stop burning I’d give you something to really complain about! Pew pew |

| Wow. These responses. OP, I’d be kind of annoyed too. You might need to get some outdoor fans or something to blow the smoke away. How close is your house to theirs? |

Are they burning it outside or in their chimney throwing smoke?
If outside I'd drop some Solo Stove brochures in their mailbox. |

Does it have to be an ebike? Asking for a friend. |
