I didnt think of this until this morning, but I am guessing my wood stove in my wall tent is going to be an issue unless the fire ban is lifted.
It has a spark arrester mesh; but I guess we are without a heat source this year?

Get it on the ground, that's when the work starts

I talked to the fire warden just north of merritt 2 weeks ago, he came by the rec site looking for violators and he said a wood stove is not considered an open campfire and is legal. We didn't have our wood stove because i thought the same thing as you, but he said it would be fine. Im not saying its a good idea even with a spark arrestor but as far as i know, you won't get in sh*t.

"With shorter days and cooler nights, people are starting to ask: can I use a woodstove during a campfire ban or open burning ban? The use of a woodstove is not considered open burning and is allowed *IF* the fire in the stove is vented through a structure that has a flue and is incorporated in a building."
I read that as a no, as it is not incorporated in a building.
I'd use mine right now where I live If I could figure out how to say that my stove is vented through a "structure that has a flue" and justify my wall tent as being a "building"
Unfortunately other parts of the southeast fire center still have some areas that are bone dry and burning. Hope they get some relief soon!
A "flue" is a stove pipe by definition and a wall tent is a structure ..... I don't see the conflict .
If your wall tent was by definition a "building" then you wouldn't be aloud to "build" it on crown land.
I do kind of agree with you, but I think it would be a tough sell and you'd probably come out of it with a fine.
