Yeah, I'm beginning to think you are right stuey. I understand the reasons behind the no fires policy but am a little surprised this is also applies to stoves.
Seems to all come to down to insurance or at least that's the excuse I have been fed the most.
I had some crazy discussions over my 60 minute search!
Answers included :
No.
Sorry we don't accept fires of any sort.
No our insurers won't allow it.
No there is a risk of death with having a fuel burning appliance in your tent.. People have died you know!
No, we don't want the kind of people that are associated with campfires on our campsite.
The Peak District is mainly peat, the risk of a spreading fire is too great for us to take.
My stock answers in no particular order included :
It isn't an open fire.
It is designed to be used in a tent.
It is an enclosed woodburner flued outside the tent so an incredibly low risk of gas poisoning.
I have heated my house with a woodburner for the last 20 years and previously lived with my parents who did the same. I am experienced in the use of woodburning stoves.
I'm a grown-up and risk assess on a daily basis as part of my job.
I'm not sure what kind of person you are suggesting I am with that comment?
Maybe as popularity of canvas tents with woodburners grows knowledge amongst camp site owners will spread and doors will open?
