I agree CaliGirl... I lived near the ocean in LA and there would be some people using their fireplaces in the summer and I always enjoyed the smell of wood burning, never occurred to me that someone would find it offensive. Yesterday while horseback riding in Lake Weir, I smelled a lot of burning wood and thought it was absolutely delightful especially on a cold and windy day.
