I'm having a BBQ next week at the park and was curious if its illegal to bring a portable stove.?

Question

I just wanted to double check just incase, but i planned on bringing one of those small portable stoves to heat up some soup in a pot at my BBQ in the park. Just curious if its legal. I live in Northern California - Bay Area.

Answer 1

you must call your local parks department, if it's not allowed you would end up getting a ticket and might incur a court appearance

Answer 2

Yep, that's legal...we bring one out to the park or beach a few times a year, never had a problem.

Answer 3

it's legal!

Answer 4

Of course! Its no different that using a grill in the park! We do that all the time. Have fun at your BBQ!

Answer 5

depends on the park - if there are fire restrictions and you are using open flame then of course not - you really should be asking the council responsible for the park in mention..i don't think anyone on here can really help you

Answer 6

Ya know....wood is the best fireto cook on(hardwood.)..w/mesqite chips or hickory;which is less bitter to me)

But if you wanna do that(sove or gas...call your local park;those guys are usually pretty cool;they love people to use & support our parks,so just give them a call....see if they have anything else going on(that may interfere,or someting else of interet to do 4 yer party.

Lat timeI was in San Rahael...you could do all that;great parks in the whole bay area.

bon appetite

Answer 7

Call the park you are going to. Some will allow it, some won't. Since its just a stove, i don't see what the problem would be.

Answer 8

its legal, at least it is in southern california so it shouldnt be different in nocal.
