Hey everyone. I’m looking for recommendations on portable raised fire pits because some places that I camp at don’t always have a fire ring to use. I don’t want propane fire pits, just something raised to burn some wood. I do not plan on cooking over it either. Ideally would like for it to fold away small or break down to a manageable size to keep inside my 4Runner when not in use. I’ve attached a photo of something similar to what I’m looking for (I may even buy that one, who knows… but wanted to hear from others before pulling the trigger). I tried searching the group but a lot of posts were for propane fire pits. Thank you!

Hey strangers,

I'm looking to have a portal fire ring. Same idea as a Solo Stove, but open to catch coals and ash. Something I can use camping or at the beach and cook on top of. I was thinking a 30" Paella pan. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? This would be preferably something I can throw in the back of my truck as a lid to a low profile trash can to haul and store ashes.

Fellow outdoor enthusiasts, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on small fire pits. What features do you find most useful? Any tips for getting the most out of these portable fire pits? I’m always looking to learn from others’ experiences, so please share your insights!

I always joke to myself a portable fire pit, really? Lol. But the ground is wet up here a lot of the time or super dry. I also camp out of the back of my truck so less wood consumption is always a good thing. Not going with the solo I’ve read it has pretty bad radiant heat distribution and high consumption.

Anyone tried the biolite firepit ? It seems like it has mixed reviews. Open to suggestions.
