The website says "all campfires", but still trying to figure out if that includes propane fire pits.
It took some digging, but the ban is on Category 1 Campfires, which I'm assuming means all the other categories are verboten as well:
~~The categories don't seem to care about the fuel you're using or whether it's in a pit or not; so, essentially all burning is banned for now (if I understand correctly, the announcement isn't on a BC site yet from what I can find).~~
EDIT: found a map & table of the bans: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/wildfire-status/prevention/fire-bans-and-restrictions
EDIT2: As linked below:
Damn, looks like the pellet grill isn't allowed during the summer?!
