Eek! Burning innocent living trees! Eek! The horror! Eek!
Naw, they're dead as heck after we cut them down, split them up, and stack 'em to season. no living trees burned in my woodstove, just nice dry dead ones because I don't like creosote build-up that much . LOL (And yes I do know you were being sarcastic as hell.)
I used to burn leves, a lot of smoke,but I found this leaf angel,and no more burning.
I was traumatized by burning leaves as a kid. People used to rake them out onto the street and set them on fire...this is going back 30 years or more. I'd imagine they would be calling out the SWAT team if you did that now. Apparently a squirrel made a home in a pile overnight or something. When the guy lit it on fire the damn thing came running out all burned up and smoking.

Good story. I got a mental picture of that. At least you weren't asleep in the pile.
I have had neighbors in the past that were either burning wood in their fireplaces (doubt it - most of the houses here use gas) or had outdoor fireplaces going (more likely with the fancypants backyards people have)...and the smell is extremely strong and irritating. Frankly, it's just awful and hangs around for a long time. Luckily, people didn't do it very often.
This is our first winter in our new house, so we'll see if it's still an issue.
What I don't mind at all are the delicious bbq smells coming from all over the neighborhood...mmmmm!
Apparently the naysayers have no concept of the meaning of property Rights. You see, folks, your right to burn toxins ends where my lungs begin. If YOU choose to breathe in carcinogens, have at it! Don't include me in your utter stupidity!

I hope you don't exhale in the vicinity of anyone else as your CO2 could be toxic if Al Gore or the EPA is believed.
If someone doesn't want to live where fireplace smoke might be an issue in the winter then move to the Southern border of the USA where heat is not required.

Yea, I'm going to start a "Don't burn the squirrles" organization and model it after PETA.
I was maybe 6 or 7 when that happened so it was a bit disturbing at the time. I'm all good now though.
Figured as much but just checking.
I'd imagine burnt squirrels taste bad anyway, only roast them at 325-350 degrees, do not burn. Smoking should be done with a good fruit wood, hickory or mesquite and not leaves.
