Maybe you better update your information. There are serious real
issues with burning Styrofoam.
One source http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasc.../chem00053.htm says
"1. Polystyrene readily de-polymerizes at "campfire temperatures" giving
off styrene vapor, which may or may not burn. Styrene vapor is toxic.
Burning polystyrene has a characteristic odor which is largely styrene
vapor."
A quick search will find many more. Under ideal controled conditions
you may be right, but in real world conditions there are real problems.
When in doubt, error on the side of caution and always follow the code.
Burning anything aside from wood in a campfire is pretty stupid. This does
not address any other issues. Nor do they give much in the way of specifics
"may or may not" ??? Does that mean they really don't know?
