Fire Pits
As some of you know I moved into my new condo on March 1st, I picked the place because it has a 500sq ft patio outside the front room  Now I want to get a fire pit and do a nice couch surrounding it (I have it all planned out) 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?

I'd have to say that a charcoal burning fire pit is going to smoke up pretty good. You will also get the smell too and with 500 square feet you might get a little smoke inhalation.
Go with propane. It's clean burning and you will have no issues with your HOA bitching at you about smoke or smell. There would also be no cleanup for you either whereas charcoal will require you to maintain your fire pit. Depending on what you get, you can fancy it up to alter the glow. I know of people who have put large chunks of broken tempered glass to sparkle up the flames.

Go with a gel based fire pit, there is no smoke.

Must suck when someone can tell you that your fire can't make smoke. I put tons of particulates in the air when my fires smoke and boy does it look cool!!! I only burn wood for heat, I cook outside with only cherry wood and my fire pit by the lake smokes like crazy and it's a beautiful sight from out on the lake.
MAN-UP CITY BOY AND BUILD A REAL FIRE!!!
