Thread: Bakewell Burner Use on DOC Land and Campsites

Now for the people like myself a stove cooker is great on those winter type days when in the South Island high country so understand the fella above from Hellenville not really into them - bit of a temp difference unless something changed since i lived in Auck? Anyway i think you'll find that a properly made stove as we are talking about is far safer than an open fire in the mountains? Though many huts burnt down in the South Island have actually started ....in or around the hut. And the common factor - the ash bucket filled with hot ashes as the hut users departed and left outside the hut. E.g Casey Hut, Anne Hut, Hawden Hut etc. So i have emailed DOC in the meantime to clarify their legal use in the high country on public land with a photo provided. I am not panicking but it would be good to know where we stand? Technology advances with wood type stoves so i would expect DOC to have some appreciation that they exist in the current market and are out there.Attachment 197073Attachment 197074Attachment 197075Attachment 197076Attachment 197077Attachment 197078Attachment 197079

Thanks that was the response I was after.
Please let us know how you get on.
The bakewell has a spark arrestor too.
