Are wood-burning camp stoves legal where there are fire restrictions?

In most jurisdictions, wood-burning stoves are treated the same as open campfires and are banned during fire restrictions or red-flag warnings. Stoves with a fully enclosed firebox like the Solo Stove Lite or BioLite are sometimes treated more leniently than open flame, but you should always check the specific land manager's rules (USFS, BLM, state park) before relying on one. When stage-2 restrictions are in effect, a canister or liquid-fuel stove is usually the only legal option.
