It seems like the large amount of smoke happens in groups.
For maybe 4-5 hours then the smoke dissipates to what looks like a standard level for a while.

It doesn't bother me to much cause im at work all day, then when i get home the smell of bonfire isn't to bad, cause i like it.

But my wife being home all day at least 3-4 days a week i guess is a different story.

Maybe i should confront them. But i am leaning more towards asking the township if it is acceptable??

Wow, thank you everybody for the very informative posts.

I really appreciate it.

Well the reason we have noticed this is because they have just moved in about 1 year ago. The original owner used to use that burner all the time and was never this much smoke pouring out.
It looks like the exhaust stack is about 10 feet off of the ground. I will check again on that.

I have not spoke with them about it since we do live in a rural area but we are still somewhat near our neighbors.

Didn't want to stir the pot quite yet until i knew there was a mandate or somthing being operated wrong or township rule or anything.

But my wife says she is going to talk to them if i like it or not. So im trying to get some facts first.

I know i dont want to be told what to do on my own property either, i know i would be a bit defensive if someone were to approach me. But i would also be aware and concerned about my neighbors as well. And want to try to mitigate smoke as much as possible.

Maybe ill quite my job and burn huge piles of leaves all day long and see how they like it. Lol.

Hi everybody,
First time poster here.
I do not know much about woodburners but my neighbor has an outside wood burner for their house. I don't know the paticulars of what or how its heating inside their house but over the past year i notice that thing smokes alot.

How much should these smoke? We are about 300 feet away from it across the road and when we open the window our house smells like a bon fire.

I understand the thing needs to smoke but it pours out the exhaust pipe thick the whole time its running.

Am i crazy to think something is wrong with it?

My wife is freaking out about it, cause it constantly is smelling.

Any hwlp is appreciated.

Thanks,
