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?
Install powerful sprinkler system and fan, constant mist on them sitting around the fire might diminish their neighbors enjoyment.

No idea what to do about it. I can’t very well ask them not to use their fireplace, and there’s nowhere else to put our furnace.
How is your furnace “pulling in smoky air”? Furnaces don’t draw from outside the home. There’s not even a means for them to do that. They draw their combustion air from inside the home, and vent it through the chimney. The heating air comes in from the recirculation side of your HVAC, it’s also inside air, being re-heated.

I actually truly love that campfire smell! When one of our neighbors has a campfire, I love to go outside and take a big whiff - not kidding.

OP hasn't answered if it's chimney smoke or fire pit smoke. That makes a difference.
Fire pit. Every night!

the smoke that badly, it's probably wet firewood. Can you see where they store it?
Nevermind just saw it's outdoors.

Yeah it smells so bad. Not to mention its horrible for their health. I don't know what you can do about it though...

We use our outdoor firepit in the suburbs, and so do our neneighbors. Take a shower, and get over yourself

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.
Not sure why I liked this post so much, but I would love to hear more about your life, PP!
