I've spoken with several fire authorities in Colorado and Wyoming and all agree that this is considered an LP gas appliance and is acceptable for use whenever and wherever a propane grill is allowed. The key factors are that it doesn't emit any burning embers and all flame will cease when the fuel is shut off. We've been under near-constant fire restrictions (except for this year!) and I've been able to use it anytime I want.
Not so here in Wa. I have on multiple occasions not been able to use it when burn bans are in effect. They seem to leave the ultimate discretion to the individual campgrounds. - ktmrfsExplorer II

agree .... we have been using a Campfire-In-A-Can for over 10 years .... its a well built, well backed unit that produces more heat than most .... it comes with a grate so that it can be used for cooking, we have never used that feature
Jim - beemerphile1ExplorerI really like the realistic appearance of the Fire Dancer. When it came time to make a purchase I decided that I didn't want to deal with the granules and spillage.
We bought a Little Red Campfire with ceramic logs. I figure if the logs break eventually I can use lava rocks. I also bought the cook top. - JLTN_JamesExplorer

We have used one of these for the last few years. It works really well. We get about 3 nights on a 20 LP cylinder. Yes, they use a lot of LP.
We prefer wood but sometimes when there's a burn ban on the only thing they'll let you use is LP. Sometimes (depending on the park) we may not be able to use the LP fire either. It has fooled many people that think it's a "real" campfire (including rangers). On our last trip the neighbors came over to ask how we made a fire that smoked to little.
I have the same one and really enjoy it. We use it camping and at home. Easy to transport, easy to setup, easy to use, easy to put away. I got mine from Amazon for around $65 with prime shipping.

I used a copper pipe as a gas injector and gas grill lava rocks. DW likes it so it's a winner.
