| Hello, I am going to have a wood-burning fire pit when they install my paver patio next month. I thought I would like to have a log lighter, which I could fuel with liquid propane that I already have on site. However, after researching it, it seems that log lighters are/may be illegal here in Massachusetts, I believe because they don't have a pilot light and there is potential for explosion if there is a leak. First, is it true that log lighters are illegal in Massachusetts, if anyone out there can confirm? Second, and more importantly, assuming log lighters are illegal, could I have a LP gas insert (like that used for a true LP gas firepit) installed in the fire pit and used as a log lighter? I presume that LP gas firepits are legal, whereas log lighters are not, because the LP gas inserts have a pilot light. Is this correct? Thank you. |

| I would think that the log lighter could be used in an outdoor fire pit, just not in an indoor application. After all, how would it be more hazardous than a LP fired grill? |

| Ask your AHJ. Rules in MA are set by the towns and are all over the place. |
