Portable propane fire pits

hlb3 · May 26, 2016

Thinking about buying a portable propane fire pit to keep in the trailer since it seems like more and more places aren't allowing open fires, plus the possibility of summer burn bans.

I do not want anything real big, something like a 15" diameter or so. Just wondering if anybody has any firsthand experience with them and can give recommendations on brand.

Mines a camp chef from Costco a few years ago. They all have wimpy flames out of the box. Lots of people say to drill out the jet but it made no difference on mine. I ended up buying a new hose and adjustable regulator that made all the difference. I can empty a 20lb tank in one evening of camping if I really crank the flames up.

I bought mine from the propane guy on South hill of puyallup and one of their "special"regulators thing will put out a 4 foot flame and empty a 5 gallon tank in about 2-4 hours. I also had them tap into the tank with a quick disconnect that is not regulated by the mh regulator.

What's a setup like that run?
