Smoke wars with neighbors?

Backyard fires smoke out neighbors nightly. Complaints ignite faster.

1. The problem

Backyard burners smoke out neighbors nightly with wind shifts. Complaints ignite faster than kindling. Ordinances confuse totally. Kids roam too close. The hardest part is considerate burning simply. A night might annoy blocks. That uncertainty makes it hard to enjoy fires.

What people are saying

“Smoke wars nightly here. I need wind checklists with courtesy notes.”

2. What exists

Council rules, fire guides and common sense govern pits, while wars ignite. Rules vary block-wise. A guide might advise generally. There is little help with wind-aware checklists plus neighbor courtesy flows for burners.

3. The solution

The solution could be a good-neighbor burn engine. It could check wind plus ordinances fast. It could guide safe distances simply. Courtesy notes could warn neighbors kindly. The goal would be marshmallows, not feuds.
