But you are allowed to have a fire for cooking or heat on DOC land, without needing a permit.

Sure about that... Think you will find it depends on what classification the land is under

The national parks apparently each have their own rules, but on other conservation land you can have a fire for cooking or warmth, unless it's a prohibited fire season. There are some rules though, such as being at least an hours walk from the road.
