How to smoke out the street (wood fireplace)

[HardcoreGeelongFan]

Hello all I have some deadbeat neighbours behind me all they do is drink, listen to music and make noise during unreasonable hours. My other neighbour seems to be able to stink out the street at will with his log fireplace and make them go inside.

I also have a log fireplace but it burns clean. What is it that makes his fire stink out the whole street? Would a wet log of wood work or do I need years of creosote buildup in the chimney? I think I've heard fern leaves leave can do a pretty good job but I don't have any ferns.

Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers

Try bunches of pine leaves and cones lol.

Just cut out the middle man and set fire to the deadbeat neighbours house.

He might be burning old bits of treated pine.

maybe talk to your neighbour and get some firewood tips?

He's just woken me up at 7:51am with a chainsaw. He's allowed to make noise after 7am but he knows everyones asleep. Just put a piece of H3 on the fire to send back my regards

Not a bad idea. When the problem neighbour woke me at 8am Sunday I yelled at him and asked if I could have a word. He just went inside and went back to making noise 5 minutes later. If the fireplace idea doesn't work next step is the epa!

Tell your council or relevant authoritah and start a diary.

Buy a smoker and do overnight brisket cooks.

My area is full of wood heated homes, and there's a few whose smoke stinks much more. After a bit of spying, the best I can gather is the type of wood is the difference. Hardwood doesn't appear to give off an offensive odour

My neighbour had a wood stove, normally it's not too bad but yesterday afternoon, no idea what he was burning but my backyard was covered in smoke and it stank

Good hardwood isn’t cheap. We’re already onto our second tonne this year.

Just burn some dogshit, nappies, couple of elderly, you get the gist.

Just think... if only there was some convenient way to get rid of all that plastic and food-covered paper in the kitchen...

Plot twist:
Nasty neighbour: <koff koff> flipping nasty neighbours with their goddamn polluting fires stinking out the house and giving the dog asthma, I'll show them
Nasty neighbour, 7:15am: prrp prrp prrp prrp BROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Gotta love neighbourhood wars.

Get ACA involved, they love to send junior reporters into the middle of a fight to get yelled at.

Green wood burning at a low heat

I miss backyard incinerators. They were awesome.

We threw everything into the backyard incerator, didn't care what it was, it got burnt

The state's peak doctors' body has backed calls for the removal of home wood heaters pouring pollution through urban neighbourhoods and adding billions of dollars to Victoria's health costs.

The Australian Medical Association has thrown its considerable weight behind a push from Darebin Council mayor Susan Rennie for the Andrews government to fund an ACT-style buyback or subsidy scheme to encourage people to switch to cleaner forms of heating.

AMA fires up over wood heater buy-back scheme

As the colder months take hold, smoke from as many as 190,000 indoor wood heaters have been triggering serious health conditions and driving some to desperation.

Time to move to the country. Stuff 'em.

Factory next door has a wood heater fired with all the offcuts from their saws. Over the back has a "fire pit" that is conveniently used to get rid of old pallets etc. Place across the road just puts everything in a huge pile and sets fire to it whenever the wind is blowing in this direction.

Bring back coal fires and backyard 44-gal drum incinerators, I say.
