Like a couple more of you, I use a chiminea and cut all my wood scraps small enough to burn in there. I'll have to check with my fire department to see if I'm doing anything illegal. On these cooler days, it's a great time to burn old personal information or anything like a credit card/insurance offer. Also, bills that are more than 5 years old get burned, then add wood scraps to maintain the heat so I can keep pushing the paper. And, we gather round for the heat, tossing in twigs and such from the fallen debris of the trees in the yard. :cool:

This remindsa me of an 'occasion' where a car dealer inquired about the legality of advertising near the road with 'temporary signage'. He was told is was not legal. So he did not do so!
A while later another dealer started doing it.
So the first dealer started doing it also.
He got cited and fined.
When he pointed out that the other dealer was doing the same thing so he thought is was now ok for him to also do it.
The reply that came back was - You asked and knew better! The other dealer did not know any better!
So:
Ask at yer own risk!:D

As I always say "Its easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission"
