What is a night of camping without a fire? But what if you get to the campsite and there isn’t a fire ring or there’s a fire ban in the area? What then? According to the US Forest Service, if there is a fire ban, you are still allowed to use portable fire pits, but it is best to review local ordinances too, just to make sure you’re 100% in the clear. The Outland Living Fire Bowl is a spark free propane, easy-to-transport fire pit that also comes with a cover and carry kit. It received a 4.8 out of five star review from over 16,800 buyers on Amazon with very few written negative reviews.

Instead of wood, you’ll have 4.4 pounds of natural lava rock, which is designed to enhance a fire’s flickering effect. In other words, you get the full effect of a fire, including roasted marshmallows over it, without having to start it from tinder or end the night smelling like a campfire. Better yet, you’ll never have to worry about gathering sticks or dealing with wet wood.
