Well according to the article the OP was incorrect. Propane BBQ's are allowed. So it looks like I can still cook my steak on my BBQ!Campfire Restrictions
Extreme fire danger has prompted a statewide campfire ban at all state parks, including campgrounds, day-use areas and beaches. The ban includes wood, charcoal briquettes, candles, tiki torches and other devices that emit flames or embers. Propane stoves and other cooking devices that have a shutoff valve are allowed for cooking only.
Our son works for Oregon State Parks.
What the OP posted was correct on Sept 7 through last evening (10th)
the restrictions were changed late yesterday afternoon (Sept 10th) to allow cooking with propane if the device has an immediate shutoff valve. From the 7th till the 10th, even propane stoves were prohibited.
Now that winds have died down I can see allowing propane for cooking.
And the total prohibition is still in effect at many FS and county campgrounds.
That said, it's a moot point since many of the campgrounds are closed.
