I tried this and a neighbor called CalFire on me since its illegal when its not a "burn day".

It seems the solutions are to have:

- a 5 gallon propane tank in the garage

- a BBQ in the back yard

- your own batteries

- a generator (also useful for refrigeration)

I have about 20 gallons of gas in my garage that is good for my generator. I use the gas for my motorcycle so they get refreshed regularly.

The fire pit is like 40 yards from the garage. Plus most people have 20+ gallons of gas in their garage... in their car.
