My next door neighbor has a wood burning stove and normally I don’t notice much of a smell from it but for the past couple weeks my entire house has been filling up with a very strong chemical smoke smell from their wood burning stove. I’m not sure if they’re burning some bad wood or what the issue is but the smell is terrible. The entire neighborhood suffers with us.

The question is, can I do anything about it? My husband plans on talking to them about it but if the smell continues, what are the options? I don’t want to make enemies with the neighbors but the smell is so awful, I get a headache from it. I can’t imagine it’s too healthy to breathe in anything that smells like burning chemicals.
