I'm sure she'd be fine if you had a garbage can out there to put your wood scraps in. If the garbage can happened to look a lot like a wood stove it shouldn't be a big deal.
Be careful!! Occasionally garbage cans of wood scraps can spontaneously catch fire... Especially if you hold a gas torch to the pile of scraps for a little bit. The best thing to do when that happens is to shut the door of the garbage can and let the fire burn itself out. Some people will try to extinguish the fire when it's almost out by throwing more wood on it. You might try that when the fire gets low.
