Relaxing Wood Stove Fire - Hearthstone Mansfield 8013 - Secondary and Catalytic Combustion.

Do the scraps give off any fumes from your chimney? I've got a guy next door who's been burning his woodshop scraps and fumigating the whole neighborhood with noxious campfire soot and torched hotdogs smell that lingers for hours lol.

In this context, "scraps" just means small awkward pieces of firewood, like chunks produced from splitting and bucking that aren't uniform or large. Lumber scraps can be burned if they are NOT TREATED or laminated. Treated/laminated lumber products produce noxious/toxic smoke and should not be burned in any sort of fireplace/firepit/stove. Perhaps your neighbor is burning material that he shouldn't be! Many people fail to burn wood "cleanly" - often choking down to a smolder, producing plumes of smoke. The fire you're watching demonstrated in the stove above produces almost no visible smoke except a few wisps at startup and when changing burn rates. The combustion system in modern wood stoves, when used correctly with dry fuel, burned hot, burns wood clean and thoroughly.
