Fire pit rules in Stonecrest, GA — also called outdoor burning, recreational fire, or open flame ordinances — cover fuel types, clearances, and when burning is allowed.
Recreational fire pits are generally permitted in Stonecrest residential areas in contained, non-combustible structures. Fires must be attended at all times, kept small, and extinguished before leaving. Summer Open Burn Ban (May 1–Sept 30) may restrict open fires during those months.
Stonecrest does not have a specific fire pit ordinance beyond state and county open burning regulations.

Smoke causing a nuisance to neighbors may be reported to Code Enforcement.
