Like it or not, there are extremes on every subject. And one thing that irritates the extremes are the moderates. I'd say that your neighbor is the moderate. He isn't a tree hugger and isn't buying into the theory of CFC's eating holes into the ozone layer. There are many who do, and many who don't. 

apparently there isn't many folks who know if it is legal or not ( including the sherriff's dept. and yourself). Don't judge him too harshly on his idiosyncracy. (My grand-Dad went bonkers one year because I planted a garden before Good Friday. Go figure, the garden fared well and was as productive if not more productive than his). Grand-Dad thought that it was "...the law of the land", when it truth, it existed only in his mind.

Sure burning the stuff does produce toxins and can have health concerns. But so can swimming, driving cars, hunting, and drinking alcohol.
