Q: Should I be worried about my oven smoking?

• <div><p>If your oven is new, then it&rsquo;s likely that the oven smoking is due to it being a new unit. In this case, you don&rsquo;t need to worry about the oven smoking. However, if your oven is old, you can&rsquo;t identify any burnt food or grease that could be behind the smoking, or you have concerns about the heating element, then you should hire an oven technician to inspect your unit.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean smoke damage?

• <div><p>The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that&rsquo;s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.</p></div>

Q: What can damage a solar panel?

• <div><p>Just about anything that can damage your roof can damage a solar panel. It&rsquo;s common for panels to sustain damage from hail or falling branches. Critters can chew through the wires. Snow and heavy rainfall can cause additional wear, along with extreme temperatures, which can degrade or stress the individual components. Even the UV rays that create electricity slowly damage your panel over time.</p></div>

Q: Is food cooked in a smoking oven safe to eat?

• <div><p>It depends. For new ovens, it&rsquo;s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won&rsquo;t hurt to eat it. If there&rsquo;s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won&rsquo;t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to burn tree stumps?

• <div><p>Burning a single palm tree stump, if you&rsquo;re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you&rsquo;re burning multiple types of trees. </p><p>Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.</p></div>
