The smoke actually doesn’t have an odor...other than regular smoke. Burning cow dung is actually a mosquito deterrent.
I was at a flea market a while back. Cow dung was being sold in cute little bags and advertised as a mosquito repellant for the patio. Lots were being sold. I got a big chuckle out of it.
The cow manure subject reminds me that I have to go to Home Depot and pick up some cow manure for my raspberry and blue berry plants. It is just the stuff to kick them up a notch. I thank our nation’s cattle industry for providing all the cow manure we need. Other nations might not have it so good.
