    I feel like this may have been a thread before, but I couldn't find it.

    Anyways....

    Post pics of your bonfires here.

    Cant have bonfires like those posted where we are, but get a decent flame in out firepit. Use it to start the charcoal when we grill. IMG_2710.JPG

    Not a huge one, but I am thankful that we are allowed to have one. It really cleaned up the brush pile.

    I'm not aware of any laws against it..

    But.. we kinda go by the motto..

    "If you're not caught, it's all good."

    I've never heard of it being illegal. But, for sure, I'd not be down wind.

    I have been informed that NY DEC does not condone the burning of pressure treated wood.

    That being said..

    Not caught = no fine

    Edit.. Copy n paste from NY DEC website..

    "While most firewood must be untreated, some firewood is heat treated (kiln dried) to control invasive insect species if it is to be transported over 50 miles. Heat treated firewood is not intended to be prohibited. However, the burning of chemically treated wood such as pressure-treated lumber and plywood is prohibited."
