Are you using kerosene or lighter fluid?

The smell of burning wood/organic smoke only enhances a beautiful day for me. The smell of plastic/trash burning is awful though.

The smell of burning wood and leaves is what I hoped for when I moved to the "country". I grew up smelling that when camping and going out to my great uncles 40 acres in MS. All good memories.

I think most people associate those smells with positive thoughts and feelings of a rural life. Its weird that it bothers you.

FWIW, people who burn plastic and other petro products should be shot. That shite seriously sticks.

I like the smell of a nice fire, and the crackle of a fireplace on winter’s night.

That's the thing, they burn "piles" with wood mixed with all sorts of debris. The odor is conspicuous and inflecting.

I lit a nice brushpile at the farm yesterday then sat on the tailgate under a pecan tree, drank a few beers and ate hogshead cheese and boudin on saltines by myself. Even listened to a bit of Dale Watson.

I found it to be the most pleasant day in the last 6 months.

Once the sun goes down, it's game on. I'll have a fire in the backyard damn near every night until February.

I imagine the types of people that whine about wood smoke are the same people that wont swim in lakes because "fish poop in the water".
