Tent stove for elk camp

[gun-dog]

Posing a question...

I have a Cabelas Alaknak II with a wood stove that I use in it.  I have been looking trying to find information about whether or not it is legal to use the wood stove in the tent when there are these fire restrictions in place.  This coming weekend and through the week I will be staying in the alaknak with some buddies and it would be nice to have that stove.  I will be in the northeast part of the state camping in the Colville national forest.  Do you guys know if it is legal?  I can't find any reason why it isn't, according to to the burn ban regs, "campfires, open flames and charcoal fires are prohibited." 
Thanks all!

My guess is NO.
I am in the same boat for the Naches area.
If you were in Western WA you would be good to go.

Someone from over there needs to chime in. Bearpaw would know.

Over here in the Pend Oreille area we are getting TONS of rain.  I am hopeful that something might change as far as fire danger goes.  It just isnt camping if there is no fire. Also, as well you know, it is nice to dry your gear over the wood stove!

I am sitting here staring at a brand new wall tent and three dog stove that has not seen a hunting camp yet. I am hoping 3 weeks from now the Naches area has had enough rain to let me use the stove. Fingers crossed.

What kind of tent are you going to be staying in?  I almost bought that three dog stove! I ended up getting a Colorado cylinder stove when Cabelas had it 50% off.  I love the stove so far but I have only used it 3 times.

Thanks for posting that link. But, I had already looked at the Colville website and it does not mention anything about cylinder stoves in a wall tent (go figure).  Since I can't find anything that says it is illegal I will most likely bring the stove and see what happens.  I was just hoping someone on here might have more insight into this than I do.

I got a killer deal on a 9X12 canvas tent made by Reliable Tent and Tipi of Montana. $750,00 0ut the door including frame and floor. Local store sold me their floor model at cost.

I remember years ago we had fire restrictions and DNR told us if we had a spark arrested on top of chimney we were good. I would try and give DNR a call to see if ok

DNR cant help . OP says he will be on National forest.
Needs to Ranger Station.

I'm back from camp now. Ran the stove all week, spoke to the ranger who came to my camp and he did not have any problem with it.  I have a spark arrestor and had the chimney facing away from any tree that could have posed a problem.  Thanks everyone, I have not checked the colville national forest website today but I think with all the rain we have been getting this burn ban will be a thing of the past.

Didn't get an elk.  I did get a bear while I was up there.  Finishing my work week out tonight then I will be back up in the woods for the last couple days of elk season.

Unless it is a certified stove I would not think it is legal. Still restrictions up here. It wouldn't be cool to burn more of our forest.
Those stoves put out a lot of sparks and a little rain doesn't help that much. We have a propane Mr. Heater.. Works...
