Camping creates many great memories; nothing is better than spending quality time with friends and family around a campfire. Whether you want to tell tales of the day’s events, roast hot dogs, make S’mores, or stay warm, a fire is fundamental to camping and outdoor life. No longer is it necessary to have a designated campfire place. With advancements in materials and product design, bringing the comfort of a campfire wherever you go is now possible. A portable fire pit is created from lightweight, collapsible materials, designed for multiple occasions and uses, and engineered for portability.
Making the right Portable fire pit decision
Buying a specific camping fire pit must always account for your circumstances. Below are some of the factors you may want to consider.
- The overall weight of the fire pit
- If you make the wrong choice, you can see yourself lugging a bulky, unnecessarily heavy item around. Worst of all, if you jam your fingers in them, it will hurt!
- Ease of cleaning
- Stainless steel is easier to keep clean.
- Does it come with a durable carry bag?
- This help to keep charcoal from getting all over your vehicle
- What sort of fuel will I need to use, and is it easy to access
Some of these fire pits operate using LPG cylinders, which can provide the same benefits as a real fire without the smell of smoke on your clothes or around your campground. This also eliminates the need for a steady supply of firewood, which can take up valuable space in a vehicle and a significant amount of time searching for wood. The issue with propane tanks arises when there are no nearby stores or refilling locations. Other advantages of a campfire in a container include the quick gratification of having complete control over the size of the flame and the simplicity of turning the fire on and off.
Our fire pit selections are in order of personal choice.
