Fireplace means a built-in-place masonry hearth and fire chamber or a factory-built appliance, designed to burn solid fuel or to accommodate gas or electric log insert or similar device, and which is intended for occasional recreational or aesthetic use, not for cooking, heating, or industrial processes.

Solid fuel includes but is not limited to wood, coal, or other non-gaseous or non-liquid fuels, including those fuels defined by the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Officer as "inappropriate fuel" to burn in residential wood burning devices.

Wood stove means a solid fuel burning heating appliance including a pellet stove, which is either freestanding or designed to be inserted into a fireplace. (Ord. No. G-4062, §§ 1, 2, 1997)
