    A single high efficiency wood heater can fill a valley with visible smoke. I can’t believe that breathing that density of smoke can be healthy. The valley I live in is full of smoke from mid spring through to new years, I wonder how many are killed by that smoke

        The valley I live in holds thousands of houses, there are hundreds of fires during colder parts of the year

        Every now and then we get seriously thick smoke from the coast on the sea breeze

        I have been to rural areas where the density is far less and have seen a single house’s chimney fill a valley in still air
