"Open burning" means the burning of any materials wherein air contaminants resulting from combustion are emitted directly into the air, without passing through a stack or chimney from an enclosed chamber. For purposes of this chapter, an enclosed chamber is one which has only those ducts, stacks or chimneys necessary to provide combustion air and to permit the escape of exhaust gas. The burning of any materials in metal cans, barrels, containers, wire baskets or any home-made device is open burning; provided, however, cooking food for human consumption in:
(a) A manufactured device specifically designed for purposes of cooking, or
(b) Such other cooking device or container as may be approved by the City Fire Division, shall not be considered open burning.
