Hi everyone
Well looking for ideas on a portable campfire ring. Was in formed that rocks were not enough. I think they just want camping in campgrounds. So as metal fire rings are not found in dispersed camping to much thinking of how I might make a portable one. Any one else out there doing this? Ideas?

Russ, I think going with something like Campfire in a Can or Little Red Campfire (both propane) are better options.   In places where campfires are prohibited, these are usually OK.  We have the Little Red Campfire...  You can also use a steak saver adaptor and use the small propane bottles with them.

Wandering Sagebrush has the right idea, especially in this part of the country. But if it's safe to light a fire, then I've used a water heater overflow pan with the PVC drain nipple removed. "Somewhat" portable but helps contain hot ashes.

I picked this product up at the expo this year - https://foldaflame.com/ - seems like a great product.  I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

We use a washer drum for those fires. Its "feet" are sections of 3" exhaust tubing bolted on edge to the bottom of the tub. I've pondered getting another one and cutting it to be 8"-10" deep.

 

Sad that the movie has combustible tinder right under the fire pan. No evidence of the area surrounding having been raked clean in a large radius as I was taught to do.

We use the "Anza-Borrego" method, a simple metal trashcan lid available for individual purchase w/o the can at (some) TrueValue hardware stores, maybe others?  Upside-down provides a great containment surface for your blaze, then Inverting it over the ashy remains overnight (with a large rock on top) will greatly limit the odds of any escaping embers.  Store it for travel in a large plastic trashbag.  We've done it this way for many many years, ever since ABDSP began requiring it for dispersed campers like us.

Smoking outside of an enclosed vehicle (all windows closed) or building has always been prohibited when BLM or USFS is under fire restrictions.

Just read this bulletin by the Mother Lode BLM Office. Please be careful out there.

I re-posted the link because I wanted there to be a direct link to the BLM rather than a newspaper article. Not being a smoker It never occurred to me that smoking is prohibited when there are fire restrictions. Makes perfect sense!
