OP originally mentioned they were burning year round so I suspect they are burning trash which can be pretty smelly and in a close environment such as this it I can see where it 'might' be a problem HOWEVER - the flip side of this is because it IS a city environment ANY deviation from 'normal' scents in the air might be a cause for someone to complain no matter how slight the smell is. My point being where I live a day does not go by without smelling smoke - from either woodstoves or slash piles. Up until they shut down open burning there are smoke plumes rising from up to several houses at any given time. It's simply an element of rural living and I LOVE IT!
Some folks still choose to cook on woodstoves also.
The G-Mother in law and My Great Grandmother had homes that smelled of Split cedar and cinnamon rolls all the time and all because of the woodstove. No one ever bieotched about smoke and there were hundreds of folks cooking and heating with wood. It was a better life.
Very few "control freaks"........... 90% of those were developed from the 60's to now.
