Why can restaurants violate the no-burn rules and I can't?
Q: If you drive through Bakersfield you’ll see all these restaurants using big barbecue pits and burning wood all day long. 4 comments from 4 users

Tom-May I suggest opening up your own restaurant? Or better yet, burn whenever you want, after all, it is YOUR fireplace!! posted by

Well - it may be your fireplace, but it isn't your air. That's the rub. Burn what you want in your fireplace, as long as you can make sure the emissions from it into public airspace isn't illegal. posted by

Get a pellet stove. They don't emit any smoke, and are undetectable from the outside. They also put out far more heat than a fireplace, without the mess. The heat transfer is so efficient that the exhaust stack on the outside of the house barely gets warm. Or, just get a gas log set-up and be done with it. You can use those anytime. posted by

The district tells one lie after another. Did you notice the new regulations were in-acted with only 48 hours notice to the public? First it was PM10 that they cared about, this year it's PM 2.5. Next year PM 1.0? As I do not believe anything they say, nor do I believe wood burning makes any "meaningful" difference in air quality, I will burn when I want to! Oh every fire I light is with the intent to cook food..popcorn, marshmallows...etc.
