TRF Fire Ban - Please Read

[Tyrod Boshi]

Greetings all! As my friends have been asking me this question and Ive finally given up and going to ask you guys, the experts.

they use a double turkey burner which is propane powered as a grill and is put on a table, but the rules say no fire.. how does this fit into the   ban?? ie describe exactly what constitues a propane stove??

Id rather be certain than go out there and  the "powers that be" say no then its a long  hungry weekend going from   camp to camp asking for hot things..LOLOLOL..

advice anyone???

I would think TRF would say no to the Turkey Fryer, however I would call TRF office and ask for sure. I could be wrong.

Hi Tyrod... ::waves::   .

I don't think it would too big a of deal, provided our red haired friend doesn't try to burn his eyebrows off again setting it too high.  Also keeping the fire extinquisher right next to to, instead of in a tub 'somewhere'.  Lastly, I wouldn't have it on unless you are cooking, never leaving it unattended even for a second, making sure nothing and no one will hit it. Common sense.

If the stove has a tank next to it, filled with propane, which completely extinguishes the fire when you turn the knob on top, then it is a propane stove.


Kidding, mate.  But seriously, we had a stove with three burners (crawfish burner style), the flame on them was wide open just like a tiny campfire, except that the flames are completely extinguished when you turn off the burner.  Not a single soul said anything about that, or me smoking (cigarettes and a pipe) at my campsite, sitting on a blanket and next to a large bucket that I had filled with sand to use as an ashtray.  I guess that is their logic in allowing propane, as a campfire can't be turned off so quickly.

Does it look like the campground fire ban will stay in place for the remaining two weekends?

[ravic]

At this point, yes. It is a county-wide fire ban, not just TRF.

Picked up our new Patio Heater.  Our deck space will be toasty warm should the temps drop.

I think you spoke that weather upon us.
