Campfire in a Can

[cactusjk]

I think that is currently the best one to get. I am checking to see if Costco has them back in.

I have one that we got from Costco a couple of years ago. They had them here last week. Good unit.
I understand that Campfire in a Can has gone belly up.

I figured that is what happened. Probably some legal matter...QUOTE=gandttimes;1774668]I have one that we got from Costco a couple of years ago. They had them here last week. Good unit.

One question if hooking up to the trailer gas supply - do I still use the regulator that comes with the Outland or does that need to be bypassed?

I may have misspoken about Campfire in a Can. There was a similar unit being made up here and I think that is the one that went up in smoke

We have the Outland Firebowl Premium which has been great. They were available mid-winter for just over $100 when retail overstock was being reduced. A spare 30lb tank lasts a week if run on the low setting a few hours each night. I suggest getting a bag to keep the grit/ash contained between uses. It gets dirtier than you might think.

I bought this one, I like it.

Still need help on how to connect the Outland Firebowl to my onboard propane connection on the FC 23.

Costco only has the Mega Outland which is too big IMO.

I believe the onboard propane connection is a low pressure (already through the regulator) connection. If so, the regulator for the campfire will give you problems and not work as needed.

If that's the case, have a propane shop make you a high pressure hose that you connect directly to the tank, then to the regulator on the campfire.

You would think that you can just remove the fire pit regulator and connect into the TT low pressure connection.

Camco do a device to port off the high pressure before the regulator.

So I have come full circle and am also looking at the Little Red Campfire. Maybe that is the easiest and lightest way to go?

I wanted to see how the Little/Big Red Campfire are working out for everyone. With the season long fire bans around us it would be nice to have a propane fire pit, and these look to be the most portable. I don't want to deal with rocks and think I'd prefer the formed logs, seems they are more oriented to be truly portable.

The Big/Little are the same BTU, just a larger packaging and "logs". Has anyone used the cook-top accessory? Definitely wouldn't be the most efficient way to cook, but if you have the fire pit running anyway it is more than 100% efficient

Also, is everyone just carrying a dedicated propane cylinder to run their fire pits? I don't love the idea of carrying a free roaming cylinder in the trailer (and no option in our TV), but I like it more than (wood eating) insect/spider infested firewood being in the trailer.

We really liked the Fire In A Can unit after a fellow traveler shared his with our group on a Wyoming caravan. When the fire closures hit (we are in Oregon, too) we bought a Bond "Aurora" Fire Pit at Safeway, of all places, for $79.99. A visually identical unit made by Bond sells at Home Depot for $119.99.

It works well, but uses chunks of pumice instead of "logs". The lid captures the pumice chunks during transport, and we carry the fire pit inside a large trash bag to reduce the pumice dust mess.

We do carry an extra 7 gallon propane cylinder rather than plumbing in an outlet on the trailer's propane lines. The extra cylinder allows us peace of mind about our propane supply and the portable tank allows us to spot the fire pit anywhere we want.

We carry the extra cylinder in the pick up bed. We added two tie downs to secure it. Takes less space and way less messy than carrying fire wood.

Now that its getting colder we'll really test it out!!

I have a Volcano grill which can also burn wood my question has any one found a way to use the propane burner as a source for a “fire pit”
