I needed one while prepping for my trip to the Owahee last year so I spent a couple hours in the workshop and built a 'prototype' with stuff I had lying around. The thing folds together to be an inch thick. Minimal skills needed with the welder. It worked out so well I have not seen the need to build a better one yet, although I may get bored and do one someday I am sure. We use it dispersed camping, camping on the ski hill, and I even throw it in the kitchen box for raft trips.

munchmeister,
How do you like the Kamoto?
Did you get the carry bag, also? Or, how do you store it after use?

Well everyone I said I'd let you know where we landed for a camp fire ring. So after much thought, rereading the thread responses the winner is ..........

The Little Red Campfire. I'd like to explain how I got here. Started looking at the campfire in a can, ok that's not a real product you can buy but liked the idea. This LRC kept coming up.seemed like you can use them any where, adjust the size of fire, turn it off when done turn it back on if you want. Most important you will probably never hear how I burned down a couple hundred thousand acres of what we all like so much. Ski3pin in a old post said they don't do fires but like looking at the stars, hay cool me too, but I like the fire also let me read more about that LRC again. Showed the wife and she thought it was great idea. (Internet makes me look real smart, thanks folks). So I found one for a hundred bucks, a 11 lb propane tank for 60.00 . So if you see it posted in the for sale section...... well you get the idea.

Thanks again Russ

The whole fire ring topic got me to thinking. We've always used existing rings and follow the "leave no trace" principle of doing without if we camp in a "pristine spot". However, Sioux does love her campfire. So bopping around on Amazon I found this.

 

I like it for the compact storing advantage. It obviously is for small fires (5 KG weight limit) so I'll report back affter our big 17 day Durango-Denver odyssey.

Hi All,  I have always used a" Smokey Joe" Webber bbq ,  1st to bbq with, then remove top grill (be careful  ) and add a dura-flame log .  Leaves no trace, gives plenty of heat, and after 3hrs everyone is ready to go to bed.

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.

That's a great idea. Scooping up the ashes when cool and you're on your way.

Sorry for late reply. I like it but have not used it much. I like how it catches ash at the bottom, makes it safer & somewhat easier to clean. I just use a shopping tote bag, shove it in, but their carry bag would be worth having.
