It is both very dry and very smoky just now - dry as it has rained precisely three times in about four months, and smoky because there planned burns in the forests that form a semicircle to the south of us, and the smoke drifts down into our valley at night.
We do have wood stoves, though not much need for them now, and if one burns properly seasoned wood they don’t smoke badly. Still, yes, carbon...
