Are campfires allowed in the 100 Mile Wilderness? If so, are they limited to lean-tos?
Also, are fires OK at Katahdin Stream Campground in Baxter?
Thanks,
Steve

yes, no and yes
Thank you, thank you and thank you.
yep they are
Good to know.
So can one bounce the stove ahead and rely on fires to cook with?
I understand it can be very wet in June and July.
Why not just go stoveless? Rather than worrying about bouncing it....

Good luck finding wood dry enough to burn in the HMW. Bad idea to get rid of your stove if you actually want to cook food.
had lots of cooked food. stoveless for life.well at least long hikes. if you can't start a fire maybe stay home and try ordering pizza.
It won't be long now until staying home will not be needed to order pizza as, I recall, Dominoes wants and has proposed to deliver by robotic drone.
What's that? It a plane. It's a flying saucer -- no, it's a Cheese and Pepperoni in from Medway!
Anyways, I could start a wet fire, but after hiking all day I might not want to start a wet fire.
And, you know, a hot meal, or, at least, a hot drink really can be comforting a the end of the day, so it's one or the other -- fire or stove. Both should be easy.
Just bring the stove. Fire is a hassle, and in the season, will be crowded with other hikers getting in your way. Stove will work rain or shine. MATC folks want only one fire at each overnight site.
