Out West at least, when fire restrictions go into effect, usually in August, no fire/stove is allowed that cannot be shut off. This would include wood product stoves, alky stoves, Esbit type I imagine too. Campfires would only be allowed in established campsites, such as a campground, like car campers would use and permissible stoves would have to be used in established campsites in the backcountry is my understanding.
