We also have a large bonfire every few weeks on Saturday nights and sit around and BS until all hours of the night.

I used to do that. But then the City of Chesapeake showed up with citation for " Operating an Illegal Waste Handling Facility". And twice the fire department showed up to put my fires out. I had em under control and safely away from structures, but they did it anyways. In short, I was told I get a free police car ride if they have to come out again.

Next time you are gettting the fire going, try using your handheld blower. Wait for it to be a glowing pile then let off and you will have a nice clean burning fire then.
