We took away their cigarettes and they needed another way to advertise that they are here, and they don't care about us breathing clean air

Fire is older than humanity itself. You can’t stop people from being human.

Time to take your meds, grandma.

You would be happy to know that I am probably 1/4 your age, grandma.

Go change your diaper then. You smell.

Thanks. This is a good example. What would the morons posting in this thread say if it wasn't about wood smoke, but about a constant backyard smoker? Is that still "OK"?

Please stop!

No matter the temp, it’s wrong to have a backyard fire. Or indoor for that matter. The carbon footprint is huge!

Plus, you can find videos of fires for your giant-screen TV for free. Why not?

Because we like the smell and the warmth and the light coming off of the real fire. You can't be this dumb.

It's cozy and there is something calming about the crackle of wood. We only have a fire pit fire a few times a year.

It's carbon neutral unless you have a coal fire.

DP- I started one last year. New neighbors burn one and it pisses me off. We can no longer spend most nights on our screened in porch.

You can. You just choose to be a pain in the ass.

I don’t like my neighbors voice. They’re a loud talker and extreme extrovert who uses speakerphone in the backyard. It’s not loud enough for a noise complaint. Def noise pollution to me 😂 I sit out front instead. I can still hear her, it’s quieter though.

Not really that different.

Grow up and gain some resiliency. If we were all burning trash daily it your complaint would make more sense. If you live in a community sometimes you have to deal with the actions of others.

Can you provide a link that explains this?

DP. Wood is carbohydrates, cellulose. Burning or natural decay breaks down those hydrocarbons into water and CO2. The only weigh to sequester carbon in wood, would be to bury the wood in an oxygen free environment, dump it in the deep ocean.

Yes, it's just the speed of conversion to CO2. Carbon neutral
