Travisma 1,317 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Well I guess a propane "open" flame could start a fire if someone tipped the pit over, or tried to burn something in it (marshmallows, wieners, beer cartons) but by themselves I have never seen a propane flame throw a spark. Guess it's Disney being Disney. Most of the responders on the Pop Up site say they use them in all kinds of campgrounds and they are the only type allowed during a burn ban.

keith_h 420 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 It might also be a liability issue where Disney is concerned about their deep pockets. With an open flame someone could accidentally or if drunk enough on purpose put an appendage into the fire. With the screen at least an attempt is made to prevent that from happening and in a lawsuit you would be able to show a reasonable attempt at preventing an accident.

ependydad...Doug 176 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Sheesh. Even in Key West, propane fires were allowed and they had big fancy (aka- very expensive and very flammable) tiki huts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Classact....Mike 17 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 There is actually a pic of the propane-fueled firepit on their posting of approved and non-approved firepits.It makes zero sense why propane-fueled fires are not allowed, but it's on there.

Starbuc71 162 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 We bought the below fire pit specifically for the trailer before they custom tailored the restrictions. The fire pits back in the day just needed a screen on top for the embers. We paid over $100 for this at bass pro and don't plan buying a new one to appease the CM who don't enforce more important rules Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those types of firepits were never permitted at the Fort. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
