Around here, during burn bans or forest fire hazards you are specifically allowed to use stoves.

When you have a live flame, you have to treat it with caution and respect, regardless of fuel. People seem to forget that nowadays. They think of camp stoves as smaller versions of their kitchen appliances. What could possibly go wrong?

In 2007 two lads died in Finland when they brought a small barbeque inside their tent. They did take precautions so the tent didn't catch on fire, but they forgot about carbon monoxide. I remember reading about similar incidents in UK too.
