switch their outdoor wood fire pit to a propane fire pit? The smoke from the wood one comes right into my home and makes me sick. I'm not even sure they are allowed such a thing in my city. I don't really want to stop them from being able to hang around a fire pit, since they can be so nice to be around, but I can't put up with wood smoke too much longer and live.

Put a big fan in the nearest window, facing outward and turn it on whenever they use their fire pit.

No, have your ever tried going against the wind with a fan? Plus I don't consider that polite.

A city, no such thing here. I wouldn't want to live in a HoA. (ie. a dictatorial mini government.)

Check with your bylaw if you think its against the law

But its not likely, you just got to live with it, or you know be an adult and talk with your neighbor

Just let them know what's happening and let them make the decision organically.

Why am I reminded of Hank Hill? Also, I feel like a propane fuelled one would be more dangerous....

But yes, all you can really do is talk with your neighbour, or make your home smoke proof...

I don't think it's impolite. I think it's quite fair you don't have to put up with their smoke.

If they so no then bribe them with sexual favours.

Close your window. If its still a problem just explain the situation and let them make the decision. Maybe theyll relocate their fire pit somewhere else in their yard

That is a brilliant solution, but I never said I had my window open when this smoke enters my house.

Yeah strike up a conversation and politely ask if they have ever considered a propane fire pit.

Then there's no way the smoke is getting in.

Suck it up, buttercup.

Be upfront, explain the issue, and instead of asking them for them to do anything, try actively engaging them and see if you can find a solution together.
