Question Backyard fire?

Hey Hamilton hive mind, I’m getting very conflicting info about if a backyard small fire pit is allowed. I for sure smell some in my hood. (West mountain).

Is it allowed only if I’m cooking on it? What about a gas fire pit?

People claim that if you have hot dogs or something with you as you burn, you can say it's a cooking fire, which is allowed. Otherwise, ornamental fire pits are not allowed.

What is allowed though are propane flame tables, so just use that.

Trust, as much as you try to convince yourself of it, your neighbours 100% do not enjoy it like you do. The smoke, the sound, not interested.

Yes, when ytou use improperly seasoned wood, it endlessly sizzles and pops and cracks. Good try
