If the smoke is heavy and long lasting, I suppose it could effect the taste. If you are growing outdoors there is probably nothing you can do about it. Keep a bag packed in case you have to flee.

I've had plenty of close calls with fires, been evacuated from gardens, and smoked out for days on end (even at harvest time). I've never noticed any effect on the finished product. really you just need to look out for mold if the smoke is blocking the sun

I agree with Lurker.
Also want to add that it is totally possible to wash your stuff at harvest. Now I have no idea how many plants you got so it might be outta the question, but I have seen it done for this very reason. To remove the ash.
You just need several large trash cans or 55 gallon drums. Whatever you can come up with. Set up 3 cans, fill with water and do a three stage rinse. Chop your plants a little at a time, cut to the length that they will dry at. Dip down in the water and swish around gently, then the next two cans the same way. Might need to change your water after a while. Then hang to dry.
There are recepies on line for using baking soda and lemon (Doc Bud method) as the first rinse but thats up to you. I would just wanna get the ash off.

Agreed. Twice had fires come over the nearest ridge in Late sept and the bud was fine. Lite dep was finishing in heavy smoke for days and was harvested in smoke and it was undetectable.
