Portable Plug Fire Pit

I bought this mostly because I compost everything compostable, and I have found that glossy magazines take a long time to compost, and are still largely uncomposted, even when shredded, long after the shredded cardboard and newspaper have been composted. Still, I hate dumping them in the landfill.I had thought of making a firepit from cinder blocks or bricks but the cost involved wouldn't have been much of savings over this firepit, and this is more convenient and better looking.This is made of some heavy metal, and I have no reason to believe that it won't last a long time. I'm seventy, so I doubt that I'll ever have to buy another one. On that subject, the advertising copy suggests that this is something that you might want to carry with you on a wilderness outing, and I am thinking that unless your idea of a wilderness outing is one that you can drive to, this is far too heavy for that. At about eighteen pounds, this isn't something I'd want to carry with me on a wilderness trek.However, I have a hundred acres of woodland with a camp on it and there is an area of my woodland where I sometimes do primitive camping. That would be a hike of about a mile, and I might be willing to carry something like this out there once, as long as I can leave it there for subsequent uses. I am thinking of buying another one for that purpose, but I wouldn't lug the one that I have back and forth every time I want to use it. I kind of like to bring some other stuff with me too, when I am camping.That said, this is well-built, made of durable metal, and reasonably easy to assemble. I did have to cuss at it a couple of times and slam it a few times with my rubber mallet but, once these essential steps were out of the way, it went together pretty well.Later... having used this a few times now, I am upping my rating to five stars. The assembly was easy, it's durable, it looks good, and it works great. As a non-essential tip, I placed mine on some small bricks to improve the airflow and make it easier for me to reach it. It burned fine at ground level, though.Later... I have been using this all summer, fall, and winter, and it is doing very well. I have added a heavy metal cover to it, which was made to be the base of a display case and, with the cover in place, this will hold the heat for a long time. Several hours after burning wood in it, it's still hot and has enough coals to restart a fire.1 year and 4 months later... My firepit is holding up just fine, and I've ordered a second one to bring up to my land up north. It would be safer than just starting a fire on the ground.

I needed this for a campsite that did not have firepits but also did not allow burning directly on the grass. this pit is STURDY, easy to put together, and keeps the fire contained. definitely worth the money for the two car events we go to that we camp for 2 nights at! heavy but folds small so is easy portable.

So long as you don’t plan to move the fire pit when assembled, this little kit works a treat. It comes together easily, stores well when not in use, and is the perfect size for a small get-together.

Easy to assemble and breaks down flat. Well made and will last

We got this for camping and I love love it. It’s compact and comes and a zip up bag. Quality is great and it’s solid material used. We have really enjoyed it. It’s sturdiness it’s top notch and the price was great. It’s Percy for 4 people or less to enjoy the camp fire.

This little fire pit is perfect for my little patio. I just need it for ambiance. I just use a little cut up piece of Dura log in it. It comes apart easily and has a perfect little carrying case for it. If you just need a tiny fire pit for a tiny fire this is what you need

Nice fire pit with easy assembly and works well, but floor of pit warped after first use. This is not a large fire pit, so we were conservative with the amount of fire logs we put in. 2 logs at a time that were store bought. These were by no means, large logs and found floor of pit warped after cleaning it out. Love this item in every way, but due to this issue, I don’t know if it’s going to have longevity. I would suggest a more durable fire pit than this one

This is fantastic! It's super easy to put together and feels VERY sturdy. It packs down to almost paper thin. Can't wait to use it this weekend on my camping trip! I'll update my review after that. Thank you!
