Idaho burn ban??

[trophyhunt]

Leaving Sunday for Idaho for 2 weeks elk hunting, anyone know who to call or do they know of any fire closers around the headquarters area?? Headquarters is just north of Pierce and about 1.5 hours north of Orofino.  Any help would be great, thanks. We want to use our wood stove in the wall tent with a screen on our pipes.

Call the Forest Service.  They answered my same questions very well.

I read in the stage 1 fire restriction plan you can have a wood burning stove as long as its totally enclosed with a 5 foot chimney and spark arrester on it.
