The current bylaw prohibits burning leaves, garbage, and yard waste, but I think it should be expanded to prohibit "the burning of green or damp wood and any other material which produces excessive smoke." I would define excessive smoke as "including any smoke that visibly drifts into adjacent properties."
We have a fire pit but use it only only 2-3 times a year, and even then we only burn wax logs and dry (retail packaged) wood. We have a neighour, however, I don't know what he burns, but it feels like there is a forest fire in our neighbourhood when he uses his pit.
