Sounds like the smoke is arriving on Saturday, leaving Monday, and then coming back with the worst of it on Wednesday.
I see purifiers made with box fans and four filter panels. Anyone have first hand experience? Are they worth the effort?
I did the version with two filters and a box fan to make a little triangle and that worked great for me. Even just slapping a filter on a box fan is better than nothing. Last year the smoke wasn’t too bad and by the end of it my filters were pretty brown. Highly recommend it.
Filters are pretty cheap and come in 3 packs at Costco if you’re looking to pick some up.
Thanks, I'll look at Costco
