2) My fiancee's father bought an outdoor fireplace last year to put on his deck and make it possible to sit outside in the winter. The only problem? Smoke! It's too smoky to sit close to it, and if you sit far enough away to avoid that, you're sitting in the cold. Doesn't some wood produce less smoke than others? What kinds?



A taller chimney and keep the top out of the wind, if possible. Some wood does smoke more than others. All green wood smokes more than seasoned. Use seasoned wood for several reasons.
