Best Propane Portable Camp Fire.

I am looking for your thoughts on Portable Propane Camp Fire devices?

Thanks

  • Bought a Big Red campfire this Spring. We have only used it a few times but we like it. After reviews was concerned about the noise but it is not bad. Use a spare grill tank just for it. In certain situations we may still use wood, but now have a choice. Have always been a little paranoid about going to sleep next to a dying fire or having to be sure it is out before lights out.
  • I've already traded the tent in for a 5th wheel so the campfire is one thing that makes me feel like we're "camping" still. The smell of a campfire and bacon I like.
  • I saw one at Lowes that was WAY bigger than any of the RV style offerings. $99.00 if I remember right. I have a Little Red Campfire or I would bought it. Mine is a little small and looks kind of silly until it gets dark outside, then you don't notice the small size so much. No smoke, no smell. I like it.

    B.O.
  • I guess the nice thing about the above one is that when it is time for bed, you just shut it off. You don't have to wait until it burns out. Also, you don't have to pour water on it to get it to go out.
  • The closest I can bring myself to a propane fire is a gas grill and I only use my wood pellet grill while camping. I wouldn't have a fire if I couldn't burn wood. Maybe one of these would work for you:

  • Some of the Federal Campgrounds we camp in, DO NOT allow campfires, as in no fire ring.
