Is the HOWL Campfire more eco friendly than other portable propane fire pits?
Yes, in the same way that a fuel efficient car is more eco-friendly than a gas guzzler. The HOWL’s BarCoal technology cranks out way more heat per BTU than any other fire pit on the market. That means you get much warmer while using less fuel.

Propane Fire Pit FAQ's
Why am I allowed to cook on other propane fire pits, but not the HOWL?
Any propane fire pit that 1) burns more than 25,000 BTUs and 2) has been certified to meet the ANSI Standards for safety cannot be advertised for use as a cooking device. However, if a company is willing to sell you an untested and uncertified product, then they can advertise it for cooking. Weird, right?
If you see a fire pit with more than 25,000 BTUs saying you can cook on it, that just means it was never tested or certified for safety.

Is the HOWL Campfire certified for environmental health?

Howl Campfire Review: We Tried The Hottest Propane Fire Pit
September 23, 2025 - Unless, that is, you were smart enough to snag one of the wood-free propane fire pits tht have popped up over the last few years, as wildfires rage in different parts of the United States and Canada. These run on gas and, most importantly, won’t accidentally spark the next great Yellowstone wildfire. However, they traditionally have issues with durability and radiating heat. Those are problems the Howl Campfire was designed to fix.

The HOWL Campfire has been tested and certified by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) to meet all the safety standards of ANSI Z21.97-2017 Outdoor Decorative Gas Appliance. That means that it’s been proven by a third party testing laboratory to be safer for people and forests. This safety is why Canadian authorities require propane fire pits to be certified.

r/overlanding on Reddit: Anyone have an unbiased review of the Howl R4 you’re willing to share?
September 23, 2025 -
This is probably a long shot, but I am taking a group to Alvord desert for a star gazing trip and I’m drawn to the howl for its low light / high heat potential. There are a ton of reviews online but, it seems like most are paid and that’s fine, but I’m hoping to maybe get an unpaid review? It’s super pricey, but maybe it’s awesome?

For a group going to star gaze I’d be buying a battery bank and a few heated throw blankets. Lounging out on the ground mat with a pillow and heated blanket is silent, warm and pitch black.

I can't help on the Howl R4, but I have the Howl R1 and it has been really solid. Build Quality and heat output is really good. The R4 looks super cool, but a tad large / expensive. The lack of folding feet is what pushed me toward the R1. Best of luck - interested also to hear what feedback is on the R4.

I'm looking at an option for the smokey wood campfire that is portable to pack on a long spring/summer overlanding trip.
Right now I'm focused on these three and would love to hear any personal experiences like how they hold up in general and how long they run on a 10/20 lb tank.
- Ignik FireCan Elite
- Lavabox Helka
- Howl R1 (Especially interested in feedback on this one - Not much out there)

I have the Ignik and like it well enough. This would be my first portable propane firepit, so I don’t have a lot to compare it to. The Ignik hasn’t done wrong by me yet. I put a few of the Ignik brand “moon rock” in my can so I don’t have to look at that shiny gas-train. While compact and light, it doesn’t put off much heat. It has bailed me out of fire ban situations where sites wouldn’t allow wood burning, but they were okay with the propane. I’ve had mine for about a year and no issues and I mainly use it for my backyard as I enjoy a proper wood fire when I camp.

I just ordered the Howl R1 and intend to review it and make a video on it comparing it to my Ignik Firecan Elite. I like the IFE with moon rocks because you can keep it on low flame and get it nice and close to warm up the legs. As a party fire, not super great for heat+light- it’s good for one or the other one at a time. I think any of the fire options out there are more than enough light output- propane fires tend to be extremely bright, too bright for comfortable staring to be frankly honest. My own interest in the Howl R1 is how much radiant heat it actually puts out in comparison to the IFE with rocks- if it’s better, it’s objectively it will be a nicer fire overall due to not having to carry soot covered rocks and having a nicer flame in general.

Howl R4 Campfire Review: Hot AF, Overbuilt, and Big Money
January 4, 2024 - The Howl R4 felt, looked, and seemed like a campfire without an equal. But then again, it had better be at $1,299. The glowing BarCoal radiant tube heaters put out gobs of heat; (photo/Seiji Ishii) A fire is a fire, and hot is hot — or so I thought. I never thought about how a campfire keeps you warm. That was until I started using smokeless fire pits and propane heaters when the burn bans became common.
