The campfire that rides along.
A 40,000 BTU propane fire pit with a lid-down table, four cupholders and flip-open side bins. The 20 lb tank stores inside. Turn, click, and camp is lit.
Wood fire vs. Floating Flame
A wood fire is half the reason you go camping. It's also the smoke in your hair, the bundle in the truck bed and the bucket of water before bed. Here's the trade.
No wood needed
Getting it going
Buy or gather wood, split kindling, fight the wind, wait for it to catch.
Turn the knob, click. Real flame in seconds.
Smoke
Follows you around the circle and stays in your clothes.
No wood, no smoke. Sit wherever you want.
Sparks & ash
Embers on the camp chairs, a pile to drown and stir before bed.
Nothing to clean up. Turn it off and go to sleep.
Fuel
Bundles from the camp store, taking up room in the truck.
One 20 lb tank that rides inside the unit. About 20+ hours.
Fire restrictions
Often the first thing banned in dry weather.
Propane is often treated differently. Check your campground's rules.
Around the fire
A ring of rocks and a cooler you keep getting up for.
Lid-down table, 4 cupholders, flip-open bins for ice.
Pull in. Set it down. Click.
It travels in a truck bed, the back of an SUV or the camper, with the propane tank stored inside. At the site it's one trip from the tailgate to the fire circle.
About the weight of a big cooler, with handles on both ends. Weight is without the tank.
A standard 20 lb propane tank stores in the base. Nothing extra to pack, nothing to buy at the camp store.
40″ L × 19″ W × 24″ T. Rubber feet keep it planted on gravel, grass or a camper pad.
We built it for the water first. On purpose.
I've had a fire pit on my boat since 2016. When I sold that boat in 2022, the buyers asked more about the fire pit than the boat. The company that made it had shut down, so I bought the design and rebuilt it from the ground up.
The goal was always a fire pit you could take anywhere. But I'm a boater, and a boat is the hardest place to put a fire: wind, waves, a deck that moves, and a crowd reaching for their drinks. So we started there. Rubber feet so it doesn't slide. A thick flame-retardant shell. UL-listed propane parts, the same standard as a marine grill. Handles so one person can carry it on and off.
Once it worked on a pontoon, dry land was easy. Owners told us in their reviews they were taking it to campsites, cabin decks and tailgates. Now we're building for campers and RVers on purpose.

It doesn't blow out the flame going 35 mph down the lake.Verified owner review
One fire pit. Every place you park.
The whole fire circle in one unit.
40,000 BTU with a burner control, so you can turn it up or down.
Close the lid and it's where dinner, cards and the lantern go.
Drinks stay upright and off the dirt.
Fill with ice for a cooler, or use for storage or trash.
Standard 20 lb tank, about 20+ hours of fire.
Flame-retardant shell, UL-listed propane parts, rubber feet.
Yes, you can still make s'mores.
Real flame, so marshmallows toast the way they should. The difference is nobody's eyes are watering, and the kids aren't standing in the smoke.
When the fire ban goes up
Many parks and campgrounds restrict wood fires during dry spells because of wildfire risk. Propane fire pits are often treated differently, since there are no embers to escape and you can shut the flame off instantly.
Rules vary by park, county and season, and some restrictions cover propane too. Always check with your campground or local fire authority before you light up.

Zella B.Camping questions
Will it fit in my truck, SUV or camper?
It's 40″ long, 19″ wide and 24″ tall, and weighs about 35 lb without the tank. Most owners carry it like a large cooler: truck bed, SUV cargo area or camper storage.
Can the propane tank stay inside while I drive?
Yes. The 20 lb tank stores inside the unit. Close the tank valve and keep the unit upright and secured while you travel.
Can I use it during a fire ban?
Many parks and campgrounds that restrict wood fires still allow propane fire pits, but rules vary by location and season, and some restrictions cover propane too. Check with your campground or local fire authority before you light it.
How long does a tank last?
About 20+ hours on a standard 20 lb tank, depending on how high you run the flame. That's a long weekend of evenings.
Can I roast s'mores on it?
Yes. It's a real flame, so marshmallows and s'mores work the way you'd expect.
How does it do in the wind?
It was designed for boats, so wind was the first problem we solved. One owner put it this way: “It doesn't blow out the flame going 35 mph down the lake.”
How warm does it get?
It puts out 40,000 BTU, enough to keep the people around it warm on a cold night without the heat getting intense. The burner control lets you turn it up or down.
Does it need to be bolted down?
No. Rubber feet keep it from sliding, and with the tank inside it has a low center of gravity.
Bring the campfire.
Leave the wood.
Same fire pit on the boat, the dock and the campsite. Pack it once and it goes wherever you're going.
