      I have one now and then mainly to get rid of old fence panels abd any other treated wood. I keep them smallish and make sure the wood is as dry as possible and pick a day with a westerly or southerly breeze away from the houses then.

          If you saw some of the bbqs around here its often difficult tell the difference, apart from the smell.......usually bonfires smell better as long as its not plastic or rubber on them.
