Neighbors don't like the stink of Red Oak

[Jags]

Probably couldn't smell the crap over the Oak!

Eat middle eastern food the night before.

If that's a challenge- start piling oak outside your windah my friend.

I just feel bad that the stink might bother them.

Is the wind mostly blowing away, or toward them? In any event, the odor will lessen at a rapid rate.

 

[Thistle]

Eat a few bowls of chile con carne,drink 6+ bottles of Bud Light or Old Milwaukee,stand by an open window & turn on kitchen exhaust fan.

Staple a couple pine tree air fresheners to their side of the pile.

I had the same thought but my idea includes hanging a couple of skunks instead

 

[coaly]

Perhaps a tarp or plastic over the top and down their side for a month? At least the wind wouldn't take the stink through the pile their way??

The SIGHT of something over the pile making an attempt to lessen the problem may be the best cure even if it doesn't stop the smell.

i wonder if oak -- or any split wood for that matter -- will repel insects. sounds like it might repel neighbors!

That's too bad - I love the smell of fresh split red oak. I stacked about 2 cord in December, the smell is already gone. Cheers!
