Not sure I understand the ban on propane firepits. What the difference between a propane firepit and a propane stove/grille?
Well because many don't think when using Fire pits. A stove or grill the flame is mostly enclosed, and maybe a couple inches in diameter. With a fire pit the pit is 18" to 24" across and I have seen flames about 18" tall! All it takes is a dry leaf to blow through that flame to start a fire.
I watched a guy in 84 degree weather at 11pm with a flame more than needed in 10 to 15 mph winds, really!
