Too old to change. |

Please don’t misunderstand as I do keep up with technology being that it’s fundamental to our lifestyle and asset management. That said we don’t let it become an encumbrance to said lifestyle and traditions we hold dear. As an example, we “cut the core” as it relates to cable & satellite TV and now use WiFi for most programming and a high gain TV antenna for HD local broadcasters. At the other end of the spectrum I dumped Facebook as it became an intrusive annoyance.
All that said, I’ll keep our “red neck” fire pit, play my mandolin and howl at the moon just the same. Thank you

Well, I have ordered it. I got enough good feedback that i'd say 2 to 1 people recommend the propane pit. It will be great for camping, or on the deck at home. I may use it on low inside the dome in the fall on those beginning and end of the year camping trips. Many people said they use them if there are fire bans. I also think it will be great if we stay at the casino R.V. lot, or if we stop over at a walmart type stop at night. When we do our Washington D.C. gettysburg trip, we plan atleast one or two nights of stopping at a store/restaurant lot.

Mjilrod,
I have a 4 port propane valve with a 5' and 12' hose Part # 59123, I can run grill, or another propane device and an auxillary tank, mounts on your present tank. Lot of the big coaches have them.

My first interest in a propane pit was last 4th of july. It absolutely poured. We scurried into the dome and were cozy, but, the across from us was sitting under his awning, with a fire. I was envious. I kinda forgot about it until one night this fall when I stayed in the casino lot, and a class A across from us had their propane pit going. I thought how nice it was to be able to just have a fire like that. Long story short, I have been thinking about it since. Just HAD to do it. But thought i'd atleast ask if there are any reason it's a bad idea. I think i might want to get a second 20 pound tank on the tongue.

I received the Outland fire bowl propane fire pit wednesday. It's nice looking, and looks well made. I got the 19 inch model and they say it can run 11 hours on a 20 lb tank. I'm gonna fire it up on the deck later and see how it goes.

The tank for my son's firepit gets so cold it froze the grass it was sitting on and it took weeks to recover. He now sets it on a rock and the problem is solved.
