During our last forums rally at Trout Lake, I was introduced to a novel idea (to me) when we gathered around the campfire. CJohnson and his friend Theo brought out a propane fueled campfire called "Fire Dancer". The campground had just posted a "NO CAMPFIRES" sign that day in our campground. This was a safe alternative because there were no sparks, no smoke, not a lot of heat thrown off (OK, because it was a warm evening), but provided the ambiance of a campfire. It was great, and I think most rallyers enjoyed having the "fake fire"! It only weighs 14 lbs, is 7.5" x 14" in size so would be easy to store, burns about one pound of propane per hour (20 hours of fire on a large tank), and no mess or hassle of carrying wood or buying wood at the campground for $6.00/bundle. I did a search on the forums and found one thread, with "fire dancer", or "gas campfire".....and that was a post by "California Streamin", who got one of these for Christmas.
Anyone else out there using one of these.........and how do you like it??
Here's a link to what they look like Gas Campfire

We don't have one...but a couple of members in our unit do and share. They are a nice alternative to a 'real' fire when things are to dry or restrictions apply, which is almost all summer here.

We just got one! Hubby was really taken with the one at Troutlake. We'll keep you posted.
Janet......so where did you end up buying yours.........how much did you pay....and did you get the logs and grill also (don't mean to be nosy, but I guess I am )???

It was ordered from Poole & Sons www.pooleandsons.com last week. They had it on sale. We paid $94.95 and $7.73 frieght. It arrived in 3 days.
We only got the fireplace and not the log insert. I thought it would be easy to find a couple of pieces of fake log to put inside - WRONG! I will be ordering the log insert - i guess.....
It came with vermiculite and is really nifty. It burns w/o the funny ceramic log but looks less.... real.

In my skim of the website, did I miss the size/diameter? Janet is going to think I'm the most curious person out there. Usually, I'm more like Cliff Clavin...feeling very "off my game" today.

Where did you find that? Is there a bigger one available. We were pretty impressed with the little one at the campout, but a big one on the deck at home would be WAY cool!
sans grill and faux stones, but got the faux logs! Now I suppose every time I use the thing, it'll remind me of the Olympic cauldron, and even inspire me to do something fantastic.....but I guess I'd already be doing something fantastic.....like camping with my AS!!!!! The thing that impressed me is that I don't have to buy or bring wood camping, and when I want to turn in at night......I just turn off the gas......too easy !!

S'mores: Roast several marshmellows till perfectly toasted, hot and drippy.
Make a sandwich with 2 graham crackers, above mentioned marshmellows and a bar of milk chocolate. Allow heat to soften chocolate and enjoy. Merlot goes well with....

OK
Jim you have one, We have one, Theo has one. If we could get all three going with the wood campfire, and our two propane heaters, I think we could turn cold nights into a very warm party.
