Neighbor installed a outdoor wood furnace 4 Ft. from the property line The smoke fills my yard that
I can not even go in my yard or leave windows & doors open. Winter is not so bad but he will burn this even in the summer, making me keep the house closed up all summer & I'm worried about the grand kids breathing in this smoke Is there any legal way to stop him from burning this in the summer?
Thank You

Contact your local municipality and find out of the installation of this type of furnace is allowed...

If he's not breaking any laws, there's not a whole lot you can do. Why is he burning stuff in the summer?
