I am so pleased with this item I decided to write my very first review here on Amazon. I bought this unit as an alternative when the forest service in Arizona puts a ban on campfires (quite common during our dry summer months). We went camping last month without being able to build a fire. Although we managed to have a nice time, it just didn't feel like camping to us. Anyways, as soon as we got home I started researching different propane campfires. The prices are all over the map and some of the more elaborate models didn't appear to recreate a "fire". The thing I was most concerned with was having a nice flame. This little unit does not disappoint in that department. On its lowest setting the flame is around 6 inches or so tall with almost no hissing sound from the propane. On the high setting the flames are maybe 2 feet above the unit. I was surprised at how high the flames got... lol. The downside to the highest setting is the hissing sound is pretty loud. As others have said the logs that come with this unit seem very fragile. The only difference between the "campfire in a can" and this unit as far as I can tell is the logs. The campfire in a can has logs that are molded together to look like a pile. This unit has individual logs that you stack to your liking. The molded style is better for transporting as the logs wont bang into each other as you carry the unit. I plan to individually wrap the logs to protect them from breaking during transport. So to get straight to my point...If you want a natural looking fire and not the wimpy flames you see coming from your propane BBQ grill, buy this immediately. I hope my review was helpful for you.

This is a fun addition to our RV. Many campgounds and RV parks do not allow open wood burning. Always a dissipointment for us as we love to sit around a natual camfire. It's always fun to roast hotdogs and marshmellows. That's when we break out this little firepit in a can. The unit is small with some artificial, but fairly natural looking logs; much like a gas fireplace in your home. All you do is unlatch three latches, udjust the logs; although we did find that the logs didn't match up well with the holes and pegs that were on them; however it made little difference how you stcked those logs on the bottom ones. You then unwind the gas hose which is wound around the stand,under the pit and attache it by hand to a Propane tank which you can put up to eight feet away. The unit is mostly for the atmosphere. It puts out a litte heat, but it's not going to keep you warm on a cold night. And we miss the crackling of the wood. (you can hook up your I-pod and play fire sounds) The unit overall works great. You can adjust the flame from low to high but the higher you go, the louder the hiss of the propane. We found that a medium flame was good. We bought a small bag of Rockwool and put some small pieces below the logs for the extra look of burning embers. You may be able to cook a hotdog over it, but we choose not to because it appears the grease would make a mess of the logs and they don't look easy to clean. All in all, I think it's a great idea and it works well. Do keep in mind that you will have to haul an extra propane tank as, even with an adapter, I don't think it would run long on small tanks.

This product is not perfect. One of the fake logs was broken in shipment and could not be replaced as the vendor buys it from China, no extra logs included. However, it provides a cheerful area where people can gather. It takes a lot of propane. The tank connection hardware that is included should fit all 2 to 20 gal. propane tanks. We had to buy a special adapter to make it fit the small camping canister that lasts for an evening on low flame, or about 2 hours if we wanted it to really look like a campfire. It seems well made and should be durable.
