I like wood smoke smells too.

From #reply-14936006 last December...

P.P.P.S. And what ever happened to using wood to heat homes? I enjoyed the different 'smokes' walking by houses. Some burned maple (odourless), and others burned spruce, (God awful stench), but my favourite was the nuts: Walnut, Ash, Beech, and the subtle scent of Oak. We had American Black Walnut trees, and a few White Ash. I preferred Walnut for the smell, while The Commander appreciated the extra heat from the Ash.

Cheers, PW.

A few years ago a friend showed me the secret of keeping a large home warm with a wood burner. He put a large cold air return close to the ceiling above the fireplace. Then when that room gets too hot, he turns on the fan of his electric furnace and it takes the hot air and moves it through the house.

Yesterday I cut down an old apple tree and will mix the wood next year.
