That Farslen looks pretty small—can’t find dimensions on their site though.
A lot of Chinese ‘stainless steel’ products rust away but that thing is cheap so...

I could’ve sworn there was a thread that had a link with a new model that fit inside an ammo-can.
Anyone know what I’m talking about? Search function isn’t working for me

Googled this. Awesome idea. I might have to make one.

A friend of mine is developing an ammo can fire pit, the Volcanno. I just got off a Westwater trip where someone had a prototype. Nice, and packable too.

None of these really put out any real heat. It all just goes straight up, so if you stand over it it kinda keeps you warm. Nice for ambiance, and maybe some cooking. Kind of a waste of gas IMHO. We get about 3-4 longer nights out of a 20lb when camping.

What about a360 degree infrared heater?
Never seen one. But it would be nice for camping heat. Could also design it with larger vents on top or in the middle for flame ambience
Cravenmorehead I give my idea to your friend so he can patent it.. . .

we got our gas one on Amazon for $50 and it’s survived two White Rim trips. Nothing more than ambiance, but it’s been great for the group once it gets dark.

I use a Little Red campfire for camping and a 10# tank. The tank fits in a 3 gal bucket for transport. There's a slightly bigger Big Red too.
If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

Propane fire pit for camping
Fuck yeah they do! We use one routinely (~ 50k btu) in the morning for fall camping. Heck we had a wood fire going and the propane setup by the kitchen area while cooking dinner on Saturday night (45deg) and it was glorious.
We have had an idea to get another propane fire pit and run two together. It would heat and light up a wide area for several people and run off one tank.
I highly recommend these for no burn areas and morning use.

Are you talking fire pit vs heater? Like I said, the fire pits that were being discussed aren't really worth it for anything more than ambiance. A 75,000btu heater, will keep you pretty warm, that's just math right there. Totally different concept than a little fire pit with some lava rocks in it.

It really depends on what you mean by "warm enough". They definitely do add warmth and enjoyment to sitting around outside. That said, they don't put out insane amounts of heat, so you still need to be dressed appropriately for the weather. So you can't comfortably sit around one when it's 40 degrees and you're in a t-shirt, but if you have a parka and a hat, sure.

I think a reflective heat shield setup behind the pit would make a big difference ?

That plus more lava rock could definitely help. 40ºF isn't that bad, so yeah, the Outland pit could work with a jacket and such. It is 58k btu. If you are getting it to use just at home, I'd go with one of the bigger btu fire wall ones with fancy glass beads and maybe even hook it up to your natural gas line.

These things seem like a really awesome way to increase your carbon footprint. I’m sure everyone on this board owns enough puffy jackets to stay warm while drinking beer outside instead of obnoxiously burning propane to stare at and provide marginal warmth.
