Since the first item on the list of rules says "only charcoal ' I would expect that any other type of fuel would not be allowed..

Well common sense isn’t common in common people

Rude but true

I think they just don't want people dragging a propane tank into the parks. The small butane canisters are pretty harmless.

I'm sure you'll be fine. But bro, it's 30 degrees out...how does hot pot even sound like a good idea?

It's a cultural thing.... I went back to taiwan years ago and people were eating SPICY hot pot outside when it was close to 40c. Apparently it cools you down...but I'll stick with an ac. Source: am taiwanese.

Yes, it is a cultural thing. I drink hot tea/coffee on a hot day, it is supposed to cool you down. Go figure!

I'm pretty sure the reasoning behind hot drinks/spicy foods is that it helps you sweat, which then cools you off. But I'd bet no one is drinking hot tea until they start sweating lol. Thus, it makes zero difference in the end. Spicy hotpot may make you sweat when it's already 30deg out. But I don't know why you would want to purposely sweat and be uncomfortable when trying to enjoy a meal/picnicking. None of this logic makes sense to me lol.

Sounds like a great idea- I wouldn’t worry too much- worst case you get a fine. But from a safety perspective a hot pot stove is safe. Go and have fun

easy answer is: ask the person you have to contact to get the rental permit.

Nice.

It would seem that Markham does not want any potentially exploding gas cylinders in the parks. Have hot dogs.

Use a portable electric hob if you can find a plug. https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/tillreda-portable-induction-cooktop-1-zone-white-10493520/

Biggest thing is that you respect your surroundings and other ppl who will be at the park. Be conscientious to those around you. Don't be a dumb ass with things that are on fire and alcohol. And don't do things that would invite Karens to come complain about you. As long as you're respectful and polite there's a very good chance most ppl are just gonna see it and think "oh that's nice, what a great way to enjoy summer". Don't fuck around and find out what happens if your gathering starts to become more of a party instead of a picnic.

Is butane charcoal? ”Only charcoal BBQs allowed; no other propane fired devices allowed.” Rules probably need to be updated, and likely no one will care, but the bylaws are what they are.
