Portable fire pit propane usage & models

Ive got an Outland fire bowl from Costco here in Canada and kinda like it. Only used it for a couple hours but seems like it doesn't use much fuel. I think the box said 7 to 11 hours on a 20 pound tank.

That's why we got ours after a few years of bans. Haven't had a ban since. lol

It is nice the first night when you are pooped from driving and setting up, don't feel like finding wood for a fire, much less cutting it up. It's nice when you want to sit out a bit but not hours. It's a pain to build a fire only to put it out half burnt. Same thing when it might rain or get windy. Sometimes it is just nice to twist a knob and go in.

Up here the outland fire bowls are pretty popular, Costco sells them for $90 CDN so the price is right. 58,000 btu.

I bought one but haven't used it yet so can't comment on it. I only got it for when there's a fire ban.

Campfire in a Can. Its the best by far. It gives off the most warmth and looks like a natural wood fire. With a five gallon propane tank you'll get anywhere from 12-20 hours of fire depending on the setting.

BTW- BTU is BTU, period. Anything that doesn't use much propane also makes nowhere near the same amount of heat that this one does. Can you turn it down? Of course, but you can't turn the other UP.

We have the one from Lowes for $99 and love it.

Here is my Fire Dancer. I've had it for years and works great when you don't want or can't have a real fire.

It doesn't use much propane at all. You can adjust the flow and regulate how much fire you want.

I use your standard "20lb" cylinder and I get a lot of hours out of it.

I like the Heininger better,It is larger and puts out much more heat and it does really look like a real fire unlike the tin can one.

I purchased the one at Lowes. $99. I can use it off of a propane bottle and also connects to my MH tank. Just have to change the hose fitting. Propane dealer made me up another hose.
