I recently had a neighbor move out after a 4 year battle over my burning wood. What a relief!!! They went to everybody except the FBI trying to shut me down. They would call up at midnight complaining of my smoke.
We've been in this house for 18 years. The whole time burning wood from an existing class 2 chimney. I've been burning wood since the oil embargo of the 70's! My ancestors, who came over on the Mayflower burned wood. Thank God they have their house under agreement to sell! What a pain. At one time they had the building inspector, the fire dept., and the State on our backs. We never backed down! There is no law in this town or the state against burning wood. But some states have enacted strict guidelines on the amount of particles in the residential smoke from burning wood. Wood burners unite!! The tree huggers are trying to shut us down! They filed a bill last march but it was defeated in three weeks. But they'll try again.
