Context matters. Burning is usually prohibited in subdivisions or where houses are close together. If everyone is on 5 acre lots then typically nobody cares. OP didn't provide many facts so everyone is just guessing. Where I live we have burn bans in the summer but can burn the rest of the year. There are rules about recreational fires vs. yard debris burning. Trash burning is not allowed and dense black smoke isn't allowed so no burning of any plastic or rubber or anything toxic. In the fall lots of people burn leaves even though that does produce some smoke. I burn a lot of yard debris in the fall but my nearest neighbors are all more than 100 yards away so they only get a whiff of smoke now and then.
