I see a few that are using wood burning stoves. Please be aware that they can not be used where wood fires are prohibited.

>From the Yosemite website
Www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wildregs.htm :

Can I use a Sierra stove above 9,600 feet?
No, you may not use a Sierra stove (stick stove) above 9,609 feet in elevation. The small twigs used to fuel Sierra stoves are just as valuable a part of the ecosystem as is the larger wood used in traditional campfires. Regrowth at higher elevations is extremely slow and the soil is low in nutrients. Removing this wood from the system further slows growth.
