We carry in our RV a variety of equipment and supplies for a campfire and it’s so disappointing to not be able to use them and enjoy that experience.
I own a small RV park and when we are in a burning ban I have had people cancel their reservation...”Really, we can’t have a campfire?...we will book another time”
I will not book anymore places that don’t allow a campfire.
We carry along a propane firepit and an extra 20 lb. propane tank to power it in order to solve the "no campfires" problem! No fire ring to clean out or messing with firewood is required.
The flame is adjustable and comes up through the bricks in the firepit to look just like a the real thing. It puts out heat just like the real thing, cooks S'mores and hot dogs, emits no odors to bother other campers, and you just turn a knob to shut it down when going to bed.
It works like a champ for providing carefree campfires everywhere.
Can't make stick biscuits on one. got to have a real fire.
I"ll bet we could make em' on this propane firepit - which is just like ours. We get dancing yellow flames, glowing red/orange hot lava rocks covering the bottom to bake/cook stuff over, warmth bathing our skin, etc. - all without the downsides of a legal or illegal messy wood fire:

Don't know how you make your stick biscuits. But we push the fire to one side, and just use the coals. can you push your fire to one side? And baking potatoes. We bury them UNDER the fire in the coals and cover them with the fire.
If your propane fire can do that. Great. the one our friends have won't.
And truth be told. As a former Boy Scout Master. I feel guilty just starting a fire with fire starters. Just seems like cheating somehow. We gave the boys 2 stick matches, a knife and 3 pieces of wood. And told them to start a fire. No we didn't make them rub sticks together.
