Little Red Portable Campfire

37 out of 59 people found this review helpful.

I received my little Red Campfire about a week before we left on a trip to Talladega. When I was setting it up I was the but of jokes. They all laughed at my new toy, but as soon as I lit it you should have seen the looks of amazement. Before the camp was ended I had two people wanting to order the campfires and two more thinking very strong about getting one, and not a one was laughing at my Little Red Campfire. This thing is the greatest. If there is any negative it would be only if it was slightly larger.

Coming from the living in the woods my whole life, you burn wood or it is not considered a fire.So I had my doubts,but went for it because some campgrounds you cant find wood or they sell you 4- pieces for$ 5.00.After purchasing we took a trip to va.beach hooked this unit up and loved it.With out all the hassle of haulin wood etc. Turn it on ,light it- open a beverage of choice and stare at it awhile and when your done turn it off .I will allways use real wood when available but for traveling ,where wood becomes an issue this thing is the best solution.Only thing is every once in awhile you have to remind the kids and some adults not to throw anything in it like a real fire.they forget and have actually thrown in napkins etc.

We bought this (on sale) for our annual Thanksgiving trip to Disney World's Fort Wildreness and used it with great results and no problems during Thanksgiving. We kept it up on the pad area. The only thing is we wish it had a quick conncect feature, so we could attach it to our outside grill connection instead of the main tank.which is too far away from where we want to use it, so we had to move one of the tanks. On Dec 1st Disney security came thru and told us the fire marshall had banned all open flames including this specific item. Apparently people had been placing them out in the open spaces where the leaves are and a few fires had occured. He said that for now we could use it if we built a wire cage around it (to stop any sparking- which we all know doesn't happen with this), covered that, raised it off the ground, and kept it out of the vegitation areas. We are trying to build something now and will be going back in early March. We'll see what happens. Too bad some peiple didn't have enough sense to realize that this is still a flame that will catch dry vegetation on fire. He said people actually told him this wasn't a real fire, just because it was gas! Because of the fires, Disney has removed a lot of the vegetation between the sites, safer I'm sure; but not nearly as pretty and private as before.

We had been looking at, and thinking about, the Little Red Campfire for quite a while. When it went on sale, we ordered. It not only does everything as promised, but has a number of very positive features: 1) It is easy to transport in its own carrying case; 2) It is simple to use and is made in America; 3) It not only looks a lot like a traditional campfire, but also puts out reflective heat which feels great on cool evenings; 4) It draws a crowd -- other campers are fascinated by it and always ask questions; 5) It is fully safe and usable -- and does not emit any sparks -- when you go to a park with a burn ban due to dry or windy conditions -- Park Rangers gave us a big thumbs up to use it recently under such conditions. We and one other camper with Little Red Campfires were the only ones with campfires! (See # 4 above)!
