[pct-l] Wood stove on PCT

[Sir Mixalot]

The rules don't allow wood burning in some areas during some parts of the
year.  In parts of the Sierras, wood burning is banned in high use areas
because all the organic material was getting picked clean.  The old rules
previously forbid wood burning above 10k feet, but a biologist helped them
refine the rules.  The ranger I was around seemed like he'd enforce it on a
case by case basis.  If dead organic material was hard to find, then a fire
should not be used in that area.  If you were in an area with plenty of
litter and old downed trees, then you'd be following the intent of the
rules, so you should be okay.
