- works great
Though it might have a problem grilling due to the lack of heat-tight cover.

Will work with charcoal. I raise it off the bottom with a smaller grate (cooling rack for oven).

Too heavy and large to lug along on a long camping trip.

- Nice and Compact!!!
This is a great little firepit! I was looking for something smaller in size for our patio. Don't expect a big roaring fire in this one...If that's what you want, I suggest something larger.

It is very easy to set up...and then pack away! I love that I can store it instead of leaving it out all of the time. I don't have to worry about it rusting away on the patio on those rainy days.

- Works GREAT!
Nicely made, well thought out, and works perfectly! Last night my son and I built a nice toasty campfire using this IN THE RAIN and had a great time. When you're done using it (cooled off and cleaned), it packs up neatly into a compact storage bag. There's plenty of extra room inside the bag to store some newspaper and a few fire building essentials like matches, a hatchet, and gloves.

HINT: The trick to building a successful campfire in a bowl shaped fireplace like this (or even in a regular fire pit located on the ground) is to provide plenty of airflow to the fire. To accomplish this, start by placing a couple of small (3" to 4" diameter) logs a few inches apart and parallel to each other in the bottom. Build your fire on top of these logs so air the can circulate underneath. Crumple up some newspaper between the logs, then stack thin dry kindling in the shape of a tee pee over the newspaper. Light the newspaper and once the kindling catches well, start stacking 1" to 2" diameter pieces of dry firewood on top of the kindling and continue to add larger pieces as the fire will permit. In no time you'll have a roaring fire and a nice bed of glowing coals will develop on the bottom of the bowl.

Follow up post April 2010:

We just got back from a vacation with our travel trailer at an out-of-the-way desert RV park in southeastern California and we used our little portable Coleman fire pit about half a dozen times while staying there. It was a huge hit with family, friends, and even some strangers we invited over to join us one night around the campfire. I had several people inquire where I got it and how much it costs. We had roaring flames at the start of each evening, and when we let the fire die down to a nice bed of glowing coals, we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores.

Due to all the heat and flames, the black paint on the screen cover has all but turned a dull grey, but we could care less... functionally it does the job and you can't see the color in the dark anyway! No paint could withstand the heat and flames we've subjected that screen to. The stainless steel pan seems to be holding up well, and we've had it hot enough at times that it's glowed red in the darkness. The folding stand still looks good as new... no discoloration of the paint.

In summary, this portable fire pit is a true winner... lightweight, compact, and convenient.
