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"?
I never complain about that to my cig stank neighbor. It ruins my backyard coffee sit every weekend . It is a real drag.
Yes, I agree that complaining directly to them is not proper "etiquette". But one can still wonder where the social sense of the polluting individual is. The answer is that it's nonexistent. And so too, with the wood burners. The same exact thing.
Oh honey. No.

We have a wood fireplace and we also have a charcoal grill. You’ll be coming to our house when the electric grid goes down, if you can figure out how to get here without the maps app.

It’s the same. Don’t say anything. Also let it go and stop stewing over it.
You are the one making yourself upset. If it was a daily fire - and not because they are cooking over a brazier or something- that’s different.
Having an occasional fire/cig/loud party/whatever isn’t a big deal. At some point you might be the one impacting your neighbors, be gracious.

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 you who is dumb! Stupid, selfish MAGA.
So anyone who thinks differently from you on any topic is stupid, selfish MAGA? You people as bad as some of the MAGA. I can't wait until we restore some sanity in this god damn world.
I am not the PP, but I generally assume that if someone is so dim that they write, "No matter the temp, it’s wrong to have a backyard fire. Or indoor for that matter. The carbon footprint is huge!" there's a better than average chance that they are MAGA. But, your point is well taken, there are plenty of blithering idiots who are liberal as well.
I'm the pp you're responding to and I agree. I'm very liberal myself but can't stand stupidity.

We live in an area with lots of air pollution already pp.
Having a small fire a few times a year isn't that bad.
Now, heating your house with a wood fireplace? Definitely a pollution /.cancer risk if you live long enough. My FIL found this out the hard way.

I assume your house is all electric then. Zero combustibles. Good for you!
Not just combustibles but scented products as well. Not just scented candles but also scented laundry detergent, dish soap, cleaning items. Down with the secondhand scents.

Do you ask cigarette smokers this question?
