Smoke inhalation!

The winds kicked up around 8:00 last night.  We had the wood burner going and I know what happens when it gets windy.  I hesitated when it was time to put more wood on the fire.  Do I or don't I.  I did.  It took a while and then I smelled the smoke that was blown in by the wind.  Maybe it won't get too bad!  I know better.  By 11:30 I could really smell it.  I heard Stacy out here going up and down.  I joined her.  We both tried to figure out what to do.  If only the wind would stop, but by now we are really smokey, you can see it.  We eventually got the fan out to blow the smoke up the chimney.  It was like using a garden hose to put out a two alarm fire.  All night we smelled it and part of today.  That is the worst thing about a woodburner, the smoke.  We have thought of the new outdoor stoves but they are run on eletricity, something we do without at times in the winter.  Anyone have a mask?....
