Can you burn your dishes?

You can burn your dishes, but only if they are paper (or cardboard) dishes. Ceramic dishes do not burn. Plastic dishes do burn, but will produce a noxious smoke. And if you do want to burn your dishes, burn them only in a properly constructed fireplace or fire pit, so that the fire remains controlled, and does not spread. Fire can be amazingly dangerous.
