Camping is not camping without a campfire. The campfire is the main reason I go camping. Sitting back enjoying a cold beveridge,roasting a smokie is the bomb!

Couldn't you still bring your portable cookers though? It's just no open flame camp fires.

This prohibition applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimeters.

Those of you that use the portable "campfires," what brands do you use?  I see Canadian Tire sells the Ban Buster and Homehardware sells the Outland.  I bought the Outland one from HH yesterday and it seems o.k., I just wish it had a lid of some sort to make it easier to transport.

Although this is terrible news for most, it looks like the lake I am going to next weekend is just outside of the fire ban zone. Let's hope it stays that way!

Don't know where you're headed croy_00, and you may be aware of this already but there is also a fire ban in the Kamloops and Cariboo fire centres.

I remember reading somewhere that this is because resources are spread thin across the whole province but if an area is monitored full time by a fire crew then it's ok to have fires. Don't quote me on this, and not sure where those areas are but if someone is desperate they should look that up
