Most desert areas prohibit fires due to drought and potential for wildfire. Propane heaters work well and do not smell

It must be dead, no cutting of live trees. Mosquite is the best and used by many of us for cooking burgers and steaks.
Be sure not to burn paloverde, you will not like it. The smell is awful.
I do like mesquite but haven't tried mosquite.......bet you have to round up a bunch to even get a fire to start. My arms would be very tired whacking that many :B
A buddy had some palo verde trees that he had removed and brought it as firewood........gave us all headaches and left a sour smell in our noses......no thanks!

If you want wood fires, you will have to buy wood from someone who brings it into the desert. Unless you are talking about the wetter deserts where some brush and mesquite grows, but most of the places you will be permitted to set up your RV, vegetation is likely to be protected.
Desert natives will build dung fires.
