Thanks, Donna. His fire pit is far enough away so it's not an issue. Plenty of trees to ignite in between, anyway! We haven't used our fire pit since we got the chickens. Good thinking about the smoke, though. Hadn't thought of it. Little Miss Firefighter usually gives us grief about using the pit, anyway.
This is great, cause I had it in my head that I needed to put one in on my patio. Now I can use fire safety as an excuse instead of flat out laziness.
