[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously baffled by the idea that burning wood is a bad smell. [/quote]

I was actually thinking of adding a fire pit when I get my patio redone and I'm glad I read this thread. I forgot how bad the smell can be. I 'm the poster above who lived in a neighborhood with 3/4 acre yards. Our new next door neighbor bought a fire pit and put in in his back yard away from the house. The smell was horrible. Everyone around us complained and it made my kids sick. I wonder if the wood used makes a difference. I grew up camping and loved the smell from fires but my neighbor's firepit stank. I didn't complain. [b]It was surprising how strong the smell was from a distance. [/b][/quote]

This is the problem. A fire pit in a back yard has a much larger malodorous smell "reach" than someone using wood in an indoor fireplace.[/quote]

It does sound like your neighbor was using bad wood, which may be a reasonable thing to discuss. But a far-ranging stink from fire pits is not usual. Our neighbors two doors down from us in Glover Park use theirs fairly regularly and while I can smell it when I’m outside, even as close as we are it is not overwhelming at all. We have a propane fire pit and can barely smell it ourselves, let alone at a far distance.

People need to chill the hell out. Those objecting to the “smell” of fire just sound like the type of people who find ways to be unhappy. [/quote]
