[pct-l] Burn bans and forest fires

[Ed Jarrett]

I have never used an alcohol stove so I generally don't think about them.  The same thing probably applies to the little wood burning stoves.  I have started using the Sol JetBoil and like it a lot.  Takes about 3 minutes to boil a pot of water and the little canister lasts for nearly two weeks with a single boil a day.

Alcohol stoves are usually included in the burn bans.  Many hikers use alcohol stoves.

Stoves do not generally fall into the 'open fire' category.  So while you cannot have a fire, you probably still can have a stove to cook your meals with.
