Default A screened area is outside

Wouldn't the screened lanai be outside ? It is the backyard with a screen around it to keep bugs out. We have had propane stoves, wood burning ovens; I'd think they were more of an issue as they were inside. Delta says:You can use a gas powered fire pit in a screened in porch. That being said, ensure your fire pit is pre-approved for use by your city first. In addition, ensure the location, ventilation, flooring and ceiling height meets your fire pit manufacturers requirements. Remember, safety first always.
Another source says:
You should have no problem using a propane fire pit in a screened porch, provided that you follow the guidelines listed below:

At least three screened walls that are permanently open (windows that can be opened and closed do not count).
The open area of screened walls needs to be at least 30%.
