What Is the Difference in Open & Closed Burning?
By contrast, a closed burn is a fire that is conducted within the confines of some form of controlling structure, such as a chimney, stove or factory fire wall. This is considered to be safer for those around it as well as more environmentally appropriate. Because of this, the majority of closed burns require no permit but there are safety concerns for closed burns. Chimneys for instance, must be constructed and maintained in ways to ensure that dangerous burn-off fumes, such as carbon monoxide, are not distributed back into living spaces.
