We recently got a motor home so I have been adding things we need here and there. Hadn't really thought about a propane fire pit as most places have a wood burning area, but granted you can't always use them with burn bans. But we absolutely hate smelling like a campfire and always have to shower before bed so our bedding and everything doesn't smell like smoke...kind of a pain the A**.
One of our recent trips with friends they pulled out their little propane fire pit and we were hooked! Instantly knew we wanted to get one. Was so nice to be able to sit around a fire, stay warm and not smell like smoke afterwards, straight to bed!
After looking at many options here on Amazon, we settled on this one. Good price. I liked that it had foldable legs making it pack up smaller which is always important for packing up a motorhome. The carrying straps that hold it all together are awesome! A bag might be nice and maybe will add one at one point but this does the trick for now - my only complaint with straps vs a case is the lava rocks tend to have some "sand" that seeps out of the flame cut outs on the side if you tip it over too far. So when packing up always have to make sure its sitting flat and not on its side so the sand doesn't leak out all over our compartments. But the straps keep the lid on nice and tight so everything else stays in one piece nicely.
The added cast iron grate wasn't anything we were looking for but a nice addition. Makes it useable to cook on with a separate pan on the grate (don't cook directly on the grate unless you want a greasy mess below) We haven't cooked on it yet - other than roasting some marshmallows. But its a nice added feature to have if needed.
The fold up legs are nice and sturdy and lock into place when up or down. I was looking at one other model that had fold out legs and one complaint I saw was that if you tried to slide the fireplace to adjust the location the legs would collapse causing it to fall to one side. These lock tightly in place when down making that a non issue if you want to move it around. Press the silver button on each leg to release, push up and then they lock in place up to the bottom making it a nice tiny little package that's easy to store away.
No heat underneath the unit which is awesome. We can place this fire pit on our rug next to the motor home so we can also be under the awning if raining-which it was. I put the lid under it for good measure but we felt it several times through the evening and there was no heat detected at all, stayed nice and cool. Didn't even think of heat underneath when looking to buy but after discovering this I feel its important to mention as many other people will be using just like we did. You can safely use this on your outdoor rug.
Gives off a nice flame and heat on any setting - we turned down from high a few times as it got too hot. We used it 2 nights and 2 mornings and didn't even go through a whole 5 gal propane. So appears to be a good use of propane, we thought it would eat it up pretty fast. We actually brought 2 separate 5 gal canisters just for the firepit, as we didn't want to use the on board propane for this - saved that for heat, water heater, etc. So we didn't even get to the second canister after 2 days of use. Also has a decently long propane cord so we could set the canister a nice distance away.
I am very happy with this purchase - great little portable unit that will get lots of use on every camping trip! Going to be a great addition to our new set up and after one camping trip I can't imagine not having it! highly recommend!

I love the included grill option so it can be both camp stove to cook over and fire pit to sit around - you don’t need a separate stove. It boiled water in a saucepan on the grill in about four minutes which was great. It definitely puts out nice heat to sit around a campfire, but without worrying about fire hazard.
For fire safety I recommend having a shovel and fire extinguisher at hand and placing the grill on a level non-flammable surface like cement pavers or bare ground, five feet around the grill just to be super safe. I would never have had a wood fire with sparks in our remote dry campsite but felt it was comfortable and safe to use this grill.
Note that you cannot use it with winds over 10 mph.
Also note that the normal 15 pound propane tank sold in all gas stations and hardware stores works with this grill. For some reason all of the instructions only talk about a 20 pound propane tank which seems to be a specialty size you have to buy an empty tank at a hardware store and then take to a gas station to fill. Just skip that nonsense and get a 15 pound filled tank e.g. white rhino brand.

The 10 foot hose gas hose is perfect to keep the tank away from the group. The fire pit did come with plenty of rocks but I order some other rocks with fire glass for a different look.
Overall this was a very nice warm addition to the backyard and I look forward to taking it around to other events. Perfect little fire pit.
