Fire pit rules in San Angelo, TX — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
San Angelo permits recreational fires and fire pits but limits fuel to 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet high (Sec. 6.06.002). Fires in approved containers must sit at least 15 feet from any structure. Tom Green County burn bans suspend all open burning.

The fire code (2021 International Fire Code, amended Sec. 307.4) requires open fires 350 feet from structures but exempts fires in approved containers kept at least 15 feet away. Charcoal and wood cooking are permitted; propane is recommended (Sec. 6.06.003). Ground fires are prohibited (Sec. 6.06.005). During a Tom Green County burn ban, the fire marshal allows only charcoal and propane grills.
