True that. However, I've learned how to do it with minimal smoke. Stack the kindling wood teepee style, then have the rag in the middle of that. Light it off. The wood gets to burning fast and that "burns" the smoke from the rag. Very quickly I wind up with just plain wood smoke, and very little of that. The ones to watch are the people who don't know how to build a fire, try to start with too big of pieces, damp wood (here in the NW) try to use newspaper, and just can't get it going good. I've seen a LOT of smoke from the "attempts" to get a fire going.
