Is anyone using either a "Campfire in a Can" or Camping World's "Little Red Campfire?". These are propane fueled campfire pits. No smoke or smell, but a really nice looking fire.
I saw a fellow using his by the beach and I just have to have one! The Little Red Campfire is about half the price of the other but I think it only puts out about a quarter of the heat.
It would come in mighty handy on Treasure Island.

CAMPFIRE IN A CAN>>>>>
I have not see the product but it sounds like the Gelled alcohol used in fire places, much like Sterno.
Wouldn't a small amount of alcohol poured into a can offer a similar benefit at a cheaper price...???
JUST ASKING????

No, it's not like fondu. This is propane fueled and 64,000 btu. It's expensive, but I'm wondering if I'd regret buying a smaller one (16,000 btu).
<http://www.campfireinacan.com/>
It looks as nice as the Little Red Campfire that Camping world sells, but it's twice the price. There are others for as little as ~ $70, but then again, I remember back on all those "bargains" that stung with dissatisfaction. The high prices paid for quality never seem to hurt for long.

in the 70's, a friend of mine used to fill a coffee can 3/4 full of gravel and put some gasoline in the bottom. Nice small warming fire.
I understand the tub from an old washing machine makes a good wood burning fire pit... if you are going for heat not looks.

Know how to test for magnesium content in aluminum alloys? Take about 25 or
30 guys, a full keg of Olympia beer, a huge roaring campfire on the North
Oregon coast. Exact location deleted to protect the guilty, and one
Volkswagen engine minus the cylinders. When most of the beer is consumed and
the campfire is burning with a good portion of hot coals, throw on the VW
engine. It is strongly suggested to not test your leaping ability by jumping
over the campfire during this last part. No need for car headlights or
flashlights in the nearby area either. Sure makes for large blank spots in
your vision if viewed directly. Keeps you warm all night. Doesn't do a thing
for the hangover in the morning though. Even the famous Oregon rains can't
put this sucker out, only class D extingishers are effective at
controlling it. Don't ask me how I know so much about all of these
activities.

Thats our favorite sport down here in the SoCal desert. As a a matter of
fact we had one racer who blew the motor in his Baja bug so bad that we
threw the entire motor on the hot coals after replacing it with a new one
that night. The magnesium in the block does not light up as fast as just the
bare block but just give it an hour or so. Interestingly enough I think
there is some magnesium in the pistons and heads as well.

Gary, after I posted that, It brought to mind the homecoming bonfire that
the frat brothers of College Station Texas build or used to build. That one
made into a TV special. Also reminded of the Boys Down Under building fires
so large that they could be seen from orbit by the Mercury and Gemenii and
perhaps the Apollo astronauts. Funny how one's mind drags up stuff from our
past.

Funny how "campfire in a can" now seems to make good sense.

An old duck hunters version was to place a roll of toilet paper in a coffee
CAN (as in made of steel - not plastic!) and fill the can with alcohol. Let
the TP absorb the alcohol until fully saturated. Drain of the remaining
alcohol. Light the "warmer" - you will not see the flame and it's virtually
odorless. Try to get the highest % of alcohol you can find. Some brands
can be 50% water! Perhaps some food coloring added to the can will make
colorful flames?

Well, I'll find out if the the Little Red Campfire is all-that - I ordered one and it should be here by next weekend.
Trying to think through the whole propane campfire thing, it dawned on me that more BTU's = more propane. I like having a heater in the coach and a cooktop, though mostly unused, is a nice thing to have too!
Details after Fleet Week!

Wow! What a difference. I wonder how much propane it takes to keep a fire like that going for an hour or two.
The Little Red Campfire is sort of the Le Sharo to the Campfire in a Can's GMC Motorhome...

Propane has about 100,000 Btu per gal so divide the Btu's used into 100,000 and you can tell how many gal/hr you will be using.

The Little Red Campfire showed up today and it's really great! I was worried that the flame would be too small - it's perfect!
Treasure Island here we come!
