Works great ,can use when ther is a fire ban ,or you do not have fire wood

Outside Fire Fun:
This item is great for your outside fire's. They are safe and most area's you can use when fire are prohibited.

Great portable camp fire:
This product worked extreamly well for us on a recent camping trip .The only way it could be improved is to make it a bit larger.

Good for fire bans:
I bought this for the cabin since there is a fire ban for wood fires, but gas fires are okay during the summer months. Also, in town we can not have an open fire going any time of the year. The fire pit works great and produces a good flame. The heat out put is good for when it is chilly out. The only drawback is that I needed to get a new propane tank, since mine has inside threads and not the new outside threads. Besides that I think that it is a good product and would recommend it to others. I do like how the lid locks on to be able to carry it from place to place.

Fun Appliance, But Not Hot:
This is a fun addition to our RV. Many campgounds and RV parks do not allow open wood burning. Always a dissipointment for us as we love to sit around a natual camfire. It's always fun to roast hotdogs and marshmellows. That's when we break out this little firepit in a can. The unit is small with some artificial, but fairly natural looking logs; much like a gas fireplace in your home. All you do is unlatch three latches, udjust the logs; although we did find that the logs didn't match up well with the holes and pegs that were on them; however it made little difference how you stcked those logs on the bottom ones. You then unwind the gas hose which is wound around the stand,under the pit and attache it by hand to a Propane tank which you can put up to eight feet away. The unit is mostly for the atmosphere. It puts out a litte heat, but it's not going to keep you warm on a cold night. And we miss the crackling of the wood. (you can hook up your I-pod and play fire sounds) The unit overall works great. You can adjust the flame from low to high but the higher you go, the louder the hiss of the propane. We found that a medium flame was good. We bought a small bag of Rockwool and put some small pieces below the logs for the extra look of burning embers. You may be able to cook a hotdog over it, but we choose not to because it appears the grease would make a mess of the logs and they don't look easy to clean. All in all, I think it's a great idea and it works well. Do keep in mind that you will have to haul an extra propane tank as, even with an adapter, I don't think it would run long on small tanks.
