That's what I was thinking, it sounds like burning garbage. I hate
that smell with a passion.

Does your neighbor have stuff out by the road on trash pickup day?

The folks that owned our place before us didn't think it was worth
paying for trash removal when they could just pile it up and burn it in
the pasture...same pasture the horses were in no less. We spent a lot
of time cleaning that and other junk up to make it safe for horses and
cattle.
