Lol........ Thanks Boon docker! But I think I would have to get a bank loan for that one! We build a campfire most of the time but figured if it was raining it would be nice to have the propane version . I've heard a lot of ppl that have them enjoy them. I'll keep my eye open on eBay or Craig's list and maybe I can stumble across a used one. If anyone see one let me know. Thanks again.

Here is one that is close to what you want.

And that is the reason they are essentially out of business. Camco stole the basic idea, cheaped it, mass produced it and put these guys with a far superior product out of business. The owners used to show up out in Quartzsite, and at the LA RV Show and were never bashful to tell the story

Every year there is a vendor at the RV show in Quartzsite selling refurbished/returned Campfire In a Can{s}. We bought ours from him 2 years ago for $75 and the only blemish we could find was that one of the "logs" was cracked which has no effect whatsoever.

We usually have a regular campfire but during the frequent red Flag warnings or when we find ourselves in an RV Park where fires are often prohibited we thoroughly enjoy our CF in a can. They put out more heat and light than you might think. Next time you see someone with one go over and ask to check it out, I think you will be impressed.

Not much of a campfire but hot enough for a group of young kids (with adult supervision) to make marshmallows for S'mores !

Get a 6-8" clay flower pot and place it on top of a larger clay "plate". Fill the flower put about 1/2 way with 3/4-1" gavel. Take a heavy duty, shallow aluminum tray (or heavy duty aluminum foil) and form it into the space above the gravel. Whittle some wood shaving into the tray until it is about 1/2 full. Then add some larger dry twigs (< 1" diameter). Finally add about 4-8 charcoal briquettes.

Light the wood shaving. You may have to add some more dry twigs to get the briquettes to light.

An item only has the value that someone is willing to pay. Quite obvious this item is over priced, or it would be sold. No one is willing to pay the price. So, it's not worth the asking price.

The value is only in the beholder's imagination.

I remember when these thing sold for about way less than $100. (US)!
