Does anyone know the rules and regulations on using those metal backyard fire pits in Philly?
We have a small metal backyard fire pit (the kind you buy at the local target or lowes store). I am trying to find out if it is legal to use in Philadelphia (for burning fire wood of course) and what the city rules and regulations on this might be. I have tried Phila.org. , the fairmount park commission, and the fire dept web sites for answers. No luck. Can anyone help me out please? Thanks!

Can you (or should you) have a fire pit on a wood deck vs. a patio.?
We are looking at getting Patio furniture for our deck and we would really like to have a fire pit. I am concerned that becasue they tend to be low to the ground that having them on a wood deck would be a fire hazzard or even cause less serious damage.

Could this be poison ivy? Burned wood in fire pit...?
Last night I burned wood in my fire pit. The wood is near some poison ivy in my yard (approx 1' away from what I can see), I didn't touch it, I used tools to carry it. While burning I was pretty close to the fire since it was cold last night. This morning when I woke up my face didn't feel right, kind of dry and tight, my cheek bones looked red/pink almost as if I had put blush on and looked puffier than normal :). Throughout the day I noticed the texture of my face was almost rough. Almost like little bumps, however it was not noticeable to my coworkers. It's felt more than it's seen. I went to my doctor and I think I got little help there. He gave me an antihistamine, and if that didn't work a script for steroids. He says I may have had a reaction to the smoke/heat (?!). He said if I develop a rash in the next few days to use the steroids but from previous experience with poison ivy, oak, etc. I usually have a serious problem within 48hrs, not 4 days. + My bday is Sunday! I'm afraid I wouldn't say my skin is exactly itchy, at some points today it may have felt itchy but not enough to itch, just enough to irritate. I don't want to be a swollen itchy oozy mess for my birthday party.
