Question about fire restirctions and camp stoves

When fire restrictions are in place for an area, are you still able to use a camp stove? Like, say I whipped out a camp table and put my butane stove on it and wanted to cook. Would that be permissable even if fires or charcoal grills aren't?

I realize some of the answer might be "it depends"...despite that, I still am curious what the "averages" might be, based on your experiences.
