Does anyone do fires in their yard?

Where we live we can burn without a permit most of the year. The few months we need one all we have to do is call in and tell time and day. We just built our place so we are brush burning Alot. It is a party sorta of thing needing a 12 pack of beer LOL. Ofcourse we are there for five hours at a time sometimes more. We burn in our pasture to be area which is where our spectic field is, this is a big cleared area. We know the septic is Ok we saw them put that in way down deep. We also do trash burn in the barrel for all our paper stuff.

I have thought about starting a burn barrell for paper trash. I could get my pyro-maniac son to help out with the trash then. Need to stop 'thoughting' and start 'doing'.

Where were at if we want to burn brush we have to have a permit. However if it is a cooking fire we dont need one. so when ever were buring in our fire pit we always have a pack of hotdogs and marshmellow on hand.

We have an old tire rim set up with an old rack from an oven that we place on the top. We use it to cook on all the time during summer. Steak and potatoes with corn on the cob is awesome cooked over a fire on this set up.

I could not agree with you more. Everything seems to taste better cooked with a wood fire.

I live in the country so we can burn whenever we want. We have a hole for burning garbage.

You really have a nice fire pit. Mine is nothing that fancy. My huband brought home an old tire ring from a truck rim. Set it on some gravel and filled with wood. Makes a nice bon fire.

We set out the lawn chairs and fashion benches from wood planks and 5gal buckets. Invite friends over and enjoy the hotdogs, beer & Smores.

We have to burn on permitted burn days, which are generally between first rain in the fall, and the end of May, beginning of June.

There's absolutely no burning in the summer here, but with the fire danger, we have no problem with that.

We burn brush and such annually in a large pile outside the "big garden" in the meadow/field. We wait until a non-rainy, or just drizzly, day after a rain, but not a deluge. Generally they are about 10' x 10' by about 4' high.

Also, we keep water on 3 sides anyway, with pressure nozzles, and have a pump dropped in the creek...just in case. Fire is a serious problem in our state.

What I hate are the controlled burns, because the poison oak also burns.
