CJNAZ Report post Posted June 28, 2018 Was up in 4B last weekend. As I was driving out Saturday night I past a camp very near the road that had 2 fires going and about 6 people in camp. My curiosity peaked so I drove a loop road and made a 2nd pass. Their multiple lanterns gave off enough light to see that the fires were propane fueled fire pits. Wood fires, charcoal use, smoking are banned Question is - Are propane fire pits not banned? Not sure if I see a need for those to be banned but I am curious still.

rossislider Report post Posted June 28, 2018 Direct from a friend at US Forrest Services in the Springerville office (Apache-Sitgreaves).Propane pits are okay in stage 2 areas. Strongly suggested to clear the surrounding area of brush, needles, etc and have water, shovels, etc. nearby. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted June 28, 2018 Propane pits are ok as stated. Couple of years ago I had a few encounters with other campers up at a horse camp, they had an issues with my fire and told me so but had to eat crow when I told them it was propane, one guy didn't believe me until I made him come look. Lol was pretty funny and good that people called me out , it does look just like a real fire but if you can turn it off its ok per the restrictions 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted June 29, 2018 Propane is good to go. I think it has to have an on/off switch. I actually paid for a weekend at country thunder by selling those propane campfires to nearby campsites when they had fire restrictions one year. (I was there for the women, not that crap they try to pass off as country.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
