Something to keep in mind if using these in a forested area is that during the summer, if the fire hazard is high or extreme, multiple fire suppression resources will be dispatched at the first sign of smoke. It costs money (taxes) every time the planes or helicopters leave the ground, so please keep that in mind. It also ties up resources to respond to other calls.
The best way to avoid this is to call the local wildfire forestry office and let them know, and/or check the wildfire hazard in your region and wait until the hazard is low so there is lower chance of a tower person spotting the smoke and calling it in.
