BUT The HOA said I could have a fire pit (after a long drawn out fight with them) under the stipulation it produced no excess smoke.

Now I'm wondering how much smoke does a charcoal fire pit give out? I found a perfect non-propane fire pit (could I put something that does not smoke in it?) I found some propane pits but their 3x the price (800+ dollars for a nice one)

Any help?

Boi - a neighbor of mine in Boston has a propane fire pit on their top floor roof deck. Similar sitiation - HOA were not too happy about the possibility of a pile of burning logs on the roof but allowed the propane firepit.

It is awesome, gives out great heat, no hassle, clean etc. - convenience is definitely worth it for city living. Spend a little more money and they look great too.

.....or you could move to the boonies
