Electric Stove using Bed Outlet?

Just a question. Is a propane cooking stove included in the definition of a “stove fire”?
Regional Order No. 20-16 USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region Emergency Fire Restrictions

1. Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire. 36 C.F.R. § 261.52(a).
2. Smoking. 36 C.F.R. § 261.52(c).
Pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 261.50

 

When in doubt, call the ranger station.

 

So jealous. This is the first camping trip I'm taking my kid on (we usually go around 20 times in the summer during normal times) and due to pandemic and California fires, we wont be having any smores, sitting around the campfire, or camp cooking this year. All my favorite parts of taking kids camping. FML. To say im jealous is an understatement. You better make that thing rage.

 

According to the rangers I spoke with, Yes. Even the tiny backpacking stoves. Anything that is ignited basically.

 

I did. thats how I got the info that I wouldnt be able to cook on propane stoves. Hence the reason for the electric stove search. Always call the rangers before heading out.

 

That was for @SilverBulletII

 

ah. oops.

 

That blows. Even in fire bans we were able to use gas stoves to cook. I second MREs. They've gotten a lot better since I was in and get your meal pretty hot. Then again, after a few deployments you just tend to eat them cold

 

The wife and kid def wont go for MREs. They want Hotdogs, Eggs, and Bacon. lol. Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

 

Hard boil the eggs and cook the bacon before you go.

Hot dogs, eggs and bacon can be eaten cold.

 

Check out eBay for an old electric cooktop, it might work for you.
I wanted to make coffee with my bed plug and found a 1950’s percolator that is 400 w

 

There was a video where a guy did a bunch of tests to see what the bed outlet would run. The every day hair dryer failed.

 

Cooking with a car engine can be done

Google: cooking with a car engine

 

sounds messy

 

Wasn’t sure. In a lot of places a propane cook stove is okay even under fire bans.
Sorry-read your post again and see that you made that clear.

 

Same for here as well. We have firebans every year and propane is typically allowed. This is the first year they have banned propane as well. All National Forests in California due to the fires this year. It's been pretty crazy.

 

For sure! I’m here in Oregon and the forest I visit are all closed. We are supposed to be a rainforest area too. Hope you guys get rain soon.

 

You know too then. I've got a buddy near portland who's going throught it too. sucks.

 

Why would you direct that comment to me ?

 

If it helps, I tried running a shop vac off the rear outlet once. It would trip and shut off, tried it multiple times. No damage done. So I don't think you risk much by trying one of these burners at low power in 400w mode.
