I come across some weird stuff because of the campus I work at. I could smell this chipper going about as much as I could hear it. They trimmed a bunch of branches from a Bay tree. yup, just like the bay leaves you buy at the store to cook with. Just think of that smell multiplied by a gazillion.

Anyone have any experience burning this stuff? Does it smell up the neighborhood? The wood itself does not smell much, but the chips and leaves are super pungent. I dont think I will be rubbing my eyes anytime soon after running my saw on those branches.

How does it burn?
 
dont know how it burns but thats a funny story!
