Are your fires smokey? Do you have a fire going all day or just in the evening for a couple hours? A fire going all day seems a bit much, but a small fire in the evening for a couple hours once or twice a week certainly doesn't seem out of line. It may also depend on how close your fire pit is to his residence.
Staying on a lake lot with permanent neighbors isn't the same as at a campground, IMO anyway.
Valid points/questions - Your neighbor sounds like an AH, but the above questions might provide a different point of view than yours. If you are burning a smokey fire all day and into the night that is close to his house I can see his point (not his attitude or way of talking to you though). It's not always about the law...it sometimes is about consideration of others. On the other hand, if he is being overly critical and confrontational, use the law to your protect your rights.
