People are too sensitive now as smoking is outlawed everywhere and we forget how much smoke stink that produced.  I don't smoke, but my dad did and his truck and jacket always smelled like smoke, but now when I am in someone's car that smokes it is hard to take.  I guess we were just more used to it back then.

Clearly EPA needs to monitor and implement smoke particle content in jackets.  >:D  :P

Just got told I smell like smoked meats again.  I guess I better figure out a better solution with the smell on my clothing.

WHY? Wood smoke always has and always will smell far better than bloody oil!

I have a couple jackets I wear to fill the stove that I keep in the garage. One is an old work coat and the other is an old firemen coat. There is some fire protection when I toss wood into my large fire box or when it flares up when the door is open while filling it. Neither coats keeps you from smelling like a smoking gun. I asked my wife it if made me smell good and said you smell like smoke, guess I got my answer.

If smoke smells bad maybe they prefer we smell like a leaking propane tank. Beer, beans and cabbage diet can make that happen!

The first thing I do at 5:00  in the morning is fill up the boiler, walk and feed the dog. Take a shower go to work by 6.

At night I wear an old carhart hoodie with with a sock cap. If I get too much smoke on me, my wife tells me I stink, so I take another shower.

My smoky smell seems to settle in my hair.
