re: Propane camp fires, do any actually heat you up?

Planning to do some camping out west and with wood fire bans that typically happen I was considering getting a propane fire pit of some type. But I just can't see them providing much heat. Am I wrong?

Propane heaters work well. I think the heat just dissipates.

If you are talking about camping inside of state and national parks with staff, I’d be leery about a propane heater. They generally don’t like to be flexible and nice in my experience. It’s hard to hide a fire I mean, it’s likely going to call attention to you. I’d make sure to ask ahead of time unless you don’t mind the attention.
