Lol I mean it was no different. As long as we had csa approved shit, it was fine. Got this portable campfire which was fueled by a propane tank. The open flame was so fucking big, you can feel the heat from a distance.
Park Rangers frequently drive by and check, and I asked why we can't use a charcoal grill cuz there wouldnt be much flame and its encased in the grill. He said its only allowed if its csa approved lol. We show him the gigantic open fire and he's like yep, that's ok cuz it's csa approved. Like wut lol.
I put my grill over that thing, and put our skillet over it to cook steaks and shit. It was good shit, but still not the same creating a campfire with wood.
I bet you that someone related to the government making decisions of the fire ban went camping on the long weekend, cuz it wasn't banned then, especially when it was during a heat wave. They banned it a week after, when it actually started to rain and cool down a bit lmao.

that's what i was thinking as well, the portable fire isn't really encased at all. It sorta looks like this, but much bigger.
https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/outland-firebowl-deluxe-portable-propane-fire-pit-black/6000196210131my charcoal grill is fully encased, and the lid would close it completely.
The built in pit at the campsite is even more enclosed than the portable one we brought.
The logic i don't understand is that CSA approved ones are easy to put out the fire, like shut the propane off and the fire will be off... yeah... except an open flame that's big as half my body can catch something else on fire with the wind etc. how are you shutting that off? lmao.
whatever, they obviously didn't really think it through.
to me, it's many inexperienced people in general with 0 common sense. They're just taking the safest approach and not want to risk anything. However, with that same logic, i wouldn't really trust dumbasses to use a propane fuled fire pit either as the open flame is huge and if they don't position it somewhere safe, they could cause fire anyway. Like the other campsite near us manage to accidently burn a building paper they brought, like what?
