Pretty sure there's more smoke from forest fires near California cities than smoke from brush fires in rural towns.

I don't know of anyone who uses a wood stove. Most would use natural gas, propane, or electric. Electric is common until you get too far North, then it's cheaper to get fuel.

It's very nice to live out here. You can see the stars and breathe fresh air.
