I got 3 1/2 hours of burn time yesterday, and of course it started to rain. At that point I was at about 1/2 the tank gone.

Ok, i'm going to try to post a short video. I have a shareable link for google pictures i'm trying. As you'll see (maybe) this is the Outland fire bowl deluxe 19 inch 58,000 btu version. They make a 24 inch 65,000 version if you want huge. They also offer the premier model which is the 19 inch with a built in ignitor. This video was shot right when i lit it for the first time, so it was still brand new. Now that it has run for about an hour, the flames are really much bigger. I guess the pumice needs a slight break in period. So it gives off much more flame then it first did. 
New link added  try this one

2) I will video it, but, Like the post i saw here before, said it would be easier to set up billboards along every road........ than figure out how to post here. 
3) Mcarter? your pit runs on a 1 pound can? 65000 btu? wow, mine is 58000 btu and they say a 20 pound  tank lasts 11 hours. A 1 pound must run out in less than 1/2 hour?

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.

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. ]]> Mon, 19 Feb 2018 14:26:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11153&PID=104606#104606 Propane fire pit : Good time! https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11153&PID=104594#104594 Author: Leo B

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 LOL

What about things like the Duraflame logs? Since these are not untreated, you would be able to bring them with you. There is even one for use when one wants to roast marshmallows or other food items.

Another alternative might be one of the gel-fuel (alcohol) fire pits if you don't want to burn up a lot of propane.

Wow!  20 lbs in a night!  Is that cranked all the way up for 4 hours or what?

If we're going to have a fire I prefer a "real" fire, plus we already carry around so much stuff.... but I have been in parks that don't allow open fires.  Propane firepits are okay though.  I guess the rationale is they don't throw sparks.

I think it all depends on whether you like chocolate or vanilla.  There have been propane pits at some bluegrass festivals we’ve attended.  They’re nice in that there’s no smoke chasing you around if you’re playing in a circle plus you don’t have to add wood or stoke the fire.  But for me it’s too vanilla as there’s no leaping flames, popping or hissing of the wood as it burns or the best part late in the evening as the coals glow red hot then fading, giving off the last of their energy, dimming to a soft glow and crackling as they cool; announcing the end of the day, time to say goodnight to all with whom you’ve shared the days events.  Time for sweet slumber, drifting off while recounting the friendships and the music.

Too each their own I guess.
