When fire restrictions are in place for an area, are you still able to use a camp stove? Like, say I whipped out a camp table and put my butane stove on it and wanted to cook. Would that be permissable even if fires or charcoal grills aren’t?

I realize some of the answer might be “it depends”…despite that, I still am curious what the “averages” might be, based on your experiences.

    Obviously regionally based, but where I am in Pennsylvania it’s allowed to use clean burning fuel sources like butane and propane during burn bans. I’ve done it multiple times with no issues. Just exercise some additional caution and attention to it.

      Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I figure answers will be regional…but if enough people answer in a thread, all with different perspectives, it’ll be a good rough overview to give newbies like me some idea of what to expect.

        Also typically what I’ve found is for places with a current burn ban, the municipality/township/borough/etc or local news will have information about what is and isn’t allowed in that specific region
