Propane Fire Pits

[SadRobot]

I think it's finally time for me to cave and buy a propane fire pit for my upcoming camping trip. Anyone have experience with these or opinions on which way to go?

Ignik ($180)- smaller flame but has fold out legs

TactiCool ($160 + $20 stand)- has a nice output and I saw these guys at the Pomona Overland Expo and this thing is warm. Downside is you have to buy the stand separately

Lavabox ($229) - nice output, comes with a braided hose and stand that can become a grill

Are you looking for heat, cooking, just the aesthetics?

We've used a Big Red Campfire for Stage II fire restrictions, but it's only for the atmosphere. I wouldn't try it for cooking anything besides a hotdog, or keeping warm.

That LavaBox looks like it would do all three.

We have "The Deluxe" for our camping/RV adventures. It puts out nice heat.

We use a bbq-sized (20lb) propane cylinder with it.

Kind of all three. I don't like the green top of the Lavabox but I guess I could spray paint it.

This one has served me well.

I have the ignik+propane tank. Best purchase I’ve made for my camping trips. The flames may not be as big as a wood firepit but it gets the job done. Pro tip is to add lava rocks off of amazon to help with the flame dispersal.

I went with the overland from Tacticool. It comes with the stand, grill, 8' braided hose, lighter and a nice bag.

Get the ceramic fire stones, they weigh almost nothing.

I went with the Lavabox because I liked the over/under grill thing better than the one you get with the Tacticool. Will report back after it arrives and I can test it.

What are you using to cover the Jeep. I kind of like that idea.

I have the Deluxe version of the Ignik Fire Can. It comes with the grill insert so you can cook burgers, brats, etc. I really like this option as it gives you cooking ability (It does great for toasting bagels too).

I also like the ammo can style as its easier to store and pack. its enough heat for two or three but not lage enough for a bigger dire corxle. But, its a mizer on propane use so it runs forever even on a 5lb/1 gal tank
