Wood Smoke Stories

House full of smoke

We had years of outdoor burning till the council finally prohibited it. Then the neighbour from hell took up fish smoking which went on all day. It was our first home—a brand new house we’d worked hard for, full of smoke every day.

Then the people over the way installed a woodburner where they burned all their rubbish day and night. Sealed in our house full of toxic smoke even on a lovely sunny day.
