Hi Klahanie
To have fuel bottle visible is a good idea, I guessing ulc is underwriting labs. What are you thoughts as to making sure it's ULC approved.
Thanks Russ

^ sorry should have typed UL. I'd guess certification after the fact would be tough. I imagine re sticking a label peeled from another product would be easier ... (kidding of course!)

 

I only mentioned it because here in BC there is an important distinction made:

"During campfire prohibitions, only CSA or ULC

approved portable campfire apparatus may be used

and flame length must not exceed 15 centimeters."

 

Not that this would matter to anyone outside of BC, but a similar type of qualification might be in place or coming to other areas.

Thanks klahanie
That does make more sense now. Next time I see ULC I'll know what that means. So your rangers are looking for stickers then they will know it's compliance.
I hear you on xtra stickers ain't got no Maple Leaf ones but if you need from a little south of the border that's different.

Long time lurker, first time posting. Figured this would be a good time. My friends have started a company making US made folding fire pits. They are super cool and great to use. They are heading to Overland East in Asheville right now. Check 'em out, I think some of you will really like them.

Needs a price adjustment.

Hello Thevulture
I pretty sure it was the same folks I saw in expo west. I thought that their idea was good. But those plates are heavy, not to mention how hot they'll be and have to wait to cool off.

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 pretty clever and an inexpensive solution to a problem that a few manufacturers have made expensive solutions for.

Bought the Cp Chef propane fire pit. Comes with a case and I bought a 20 lb. propane bottle. No more smoke, wet wood, etc
I spent around $140 for everything.

We use the pop-up pit by fireside outdoors, both on multi-day whitewater rafting trips & in the camper. Light weight and packs smaller than a lawn chair. BLM & USFS approved for camping & wild/scenic river corridors. https://firesideoutd...ducts/popup-pit
