This fire pit is awesome. We use it on our back deck all of the time. It will not damage trex decking, the trex doesn't even really get warm during use. We are going to pack it for our camping trips for the forseeable future. No more fire wood for use, just this easy to pack fire pit and a 20lbs propane.

I got this because of the fire ban at a campground I was going to. Now I want to use this everywhere I go!! Its so easy to use, doesn't make you smell like smoke, light-ish weight, amazing quality, and affordable! It's so nice it comes with 3 packs of lava rocks too!

Light weight and travels well. A very nice alternative to camping, especially in parks that have a burn ban on wood fires.

I dont write too many reviews but I will for this one.

This thing is great. I live in wisconsin. Cold nights. Winters. This thing was designed with function and portability in mind. Starting with the lid cover and the straps. You can do that in literally 30 seconds. Easy. Strap has a handle to carry also.

Rocks stay inside when closed up. Never need to do anything.

The hose is attached to the firepit so it just coils around the pit when putting the cover and strap on it.

Now. It puts off some heat. I dont generally run it at the highest level but when I do the flames are about I would guess 8 inches above the rocks. No smoke. No mess. Portable and powerful. No issues at all.

Oh. And it doesnt weigh much either. Guessing 15 pounds??? If I can update this post I will post a video next time I use it. Posted this review on 2/2/26

Wow! No wonder the Oulander 19” portable fire pit has great reviews. It can have quite high flame generating a lot of heat, or turned down low for those windy evenings. (See the video.). The stand is solid and doesn’t wobble. It has no folding legs to collapse, yet is still small enough (19” wide x 11”H) to pack nicely. The metal is a thick, strong metal with plenty of air holes. The lid only sits on top with no claps to hold it on, but carrying strap intended to carry it by that holds the lid place. We purchased the soft carrying case, but will still latch the top on with the strap to prevent lava dust from spreading. We have a container with a lid for the lava rocks when not in use. It was very easy to set up with the lava rocks and propane. I can hardly wait to take it camping. Fire from burning wood triggers my asthma. We haven’t had a campfire in 5 years, or even a fire in our wood burning fireplace. This Outlander fire pit is better than I dreamed, but this will give us the enjoyment of our campfire back, and it’s easy to set up and repack after the lava rocks have cooled. It was an excellent buy at a good price. I will recommended it to family and friends, and would buy it again. It is a great value for the price. We already have it packed in our camper van for our January trip.

Had this on highest power and felt good if everyone is sitting close. The kids were still cold sitting back in their chairs and covered, but its nice, compact, and works if you're huddled around the thing. We used a full Flame King 5lb and it burned through it in about 1hr. Would definitely need a larger propane tank if taking camping for the weekend. Also like the simple carrying cover and strap which works great! Also no smoke, which is another bonus.

I love everything about this propane fire pit. I love that it was easy to set up and is easy to use. I love that I could make it into anything I wanted. Other products were 3-4x more expensive, didn’t have the best reviews, and came with bases or tables built around them. I found those designs less appealing as they limited where I could put it or what I could do with it. I was able to get exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the price and I couldn’t be happier. I chose to put it in our existing wood fire pit with logs around it, simulating the mood of a wood fire. And the beauty is we can easily remove it when we want to have a wood fire from time to time. I love that I chose a low to the ground unit rather than a tabletop unit as I love to sit barefoot by the fire and warm my feet. (But what’s so awesome about this unit is anyone wanting to build a table around it can. With a little imagination and craftiness the possibilities are endless). I love that it provides me a little feeling of camping right in my own backyard. I love that I can listen to the birds and enjoy nature with a warm fire and cup of coffee on cold mornings or enjoy a drink outside on the cooler evenings while winding down. Otherwise I may not be out here, it may be too cold. I love that it provides a lot of heat. (I haven’t experienced a morning colder than mid 50’s yet, but even with a strong wind blowing at that temperature and a few small sprinkles, the heat it gave off on the high setting was soothing and I was very comfortable. I was also wearing my pajamas and housecoat, but my feet were bare and warmed by the fire). I love that if I want to have a quick fire for only 10 minutes I can have that. I followed the instructions and had no problems whatsoever. Some reviewers complained of difficulty with their units not working. I have had no problems. I very slowly turn the valve on the tank, slowly releasing the propane into the hose EACH time I light the unit. The rocks you see are what came with it. I chose to see how many were provided before ordering more, and for me the amount included was acceptable. It does have a faint hissing sound that accompanies the fire, but it doesn’t bother me. The pros vastly outweigh the cons for me. I also bought a propane extension hose to have the tank further away. I found the hiss from the tank was louder than the hiss from the fire. I also learned to light the fire using the flame shaped holes on the side rather than from the top as lighting things like this (including our grill) tend to make me jumpy. This is my first year with it, I’ve only owned it for a little over a month. I will update periodically.

*Update*

I’m still enjoying my fire on cool mornings. I don’t use it a lot, maybe a couple dozen times a year, but It’s been over 3 years and it’s held up beautifully.

We love this campfire. Gives off a lot of heat. It came with 3 bags of coals, we used all 3 although one was labeled ‘spare’. This campfire was half the price of another we looked at on Amazon Would buy it again.

Calienta muy bien, perfecto para áreas pequeñas.

Dice que trae piedras de repuesto pero las 3 bolsas que trae quedan casi exactas, hasta siento que le hacen falta porque ninguna sobra para dejarlas de repuesto, igual son fáciles de conseguir.

Lo que sí es que tuve que cambiarle la conexión que trae en el regulador porque evidentemente la que trae no da en los tanques de gas de México, gasté solo $65 pesos en la punta pol con o-ring y la tuerca izquierda con maneral de plástico negro.

Si lo recomiendo por la practicidad de llevarlo a cualquier lugar y poder usarlo donde sea. Yo lo uso en mi terraza con un tanque de gas de 4Kg.

Set this up today. Instructions say it comes with 4 bags of lava rocks. 3 bags for the bowl and a bag of "spares". Well, ours only came with 2 bags and the spares. Not a huge deal as the spares would likely just take up space on a basement shelf for decades. LOL It does blow through a lot of propane, but the manual says to expect that. A full 20 lb tank should last between 7 and 11 hours depending on the valve setting used. We used it full on tonight as it was quite chilly. If you were camping for a week and using it nightly I think it would be best to bring a spare tank if you have one.

Anyway, it is a sturdy piece of gear that comes with a lid and carry straps. Doesn't weight much. Less than 10 lbs I'd say. It was toasty warm once the lava rocks heated up. We sat about 3 feet away. Also, these can be used even if there is a fire ban on in most places. Check your local bylaws. Happy with this unit so far. It will make a nice addition to our camping gear.

Camping on the North West Coast of Scotland. Tent up, fire on, amazing sunset. What more could you ask for. A lot of campsites do not allow fire pits but will allow a fire bowl powered by propane gas. Clean, no mess, no wood to carry, minimal fire risk if positioned correctly. Even on half setting there was a lot of heat coming from it. We put in all the lava rock that came with it. One bag not enough really to cover the burners adequately. Really adds to the atmosphere of an evening. Very portable with the carrying straps/handle. You could really take this anywhere as long as your propane tank isn't too big. Beach, Garden etc..

What an amazing fire pit everyone loves it and asks where they can buy one.

There are several versions of this. I got the one WITHOUT the spark starter built in because it was $100 cheaper. I got it on here for $138 dollars Canadian on sale. I have to tell you there is minimal hiss, CSA approved for burn bans.

PROS: Burn ban approved, decent flame, easy to light with barbecue lighter, no smoke in your hair or clothes, the gas cost is equivalent to buying wood, no messing with ashes.

CONS: No fire "crackle", smaller than real bonfire, if you have a mosquito season in your area in late spring and early summer remember these give off carbon dioxide like a human's breath and they attract mosquitos like a spell from hell. But it only lasts a few weeks. Eats gas pretty bad but when compared to buying wood the cost is equivalent.

All in all a super little firepit. Last year in my area there were a bunch of bans so I recommend this option.
