For regular camping, many places (National Parks - I've done a LOT of backpacking in RMNP) don't allow fire.
Does that change the equation for you?
I hate fire bans. We've run into them a lot the last few years. Always check with the area authorities in advance, or bring back-up, especially if you need the heat or the cooking ability.
