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?

That means it depends on the conditions. Let's face it do you really
want to use a material in a way that it MIGHT kill you?
