Spent some time camping last weekend with a friend of mine, his wife and adorable pocket dogs. He had this really cool portable propane fire pit. His Chevy diesel pickup and 65 foot long 5th wheel means he can carry the Smithsonian museum’s Dutch Oven exhibit in his back seat. While I was very impressed with the look and ambiance of his fire pit, the weight of same was a concern. Throwing caution to the winds, I bought it and am currently using it on a campout. Whoa. Very, very impressed by the ease of setup, REAL look of the fire and adjustability of the flame height. This thing is so cool (hot?), that the weight and volume taken up pales in comparison to the enjoyment received from having it at the campsite. Outland 19” fire pit. Looking forward to the morning when I can fire this baby up instead of foraging for wood in my bathrobe and slippers. At the local convenience store. Go figure, some municipalities frown upon this.

I just purchased a propane portable fire bowl from Costco. Haven’t hooked it up yet. It uses a full size tank, not the little one pounders. I was thinking of getting a long hose to run to the T@Bs tank, but I’m going to see if it’s a struggle to just disconnect and remove the tank and take it to the bowl.

canopy. A popular choice with Taggers is the Camco Little Red fire pit. It’s a bit smaller but more expensive and we like the look of the Outland bowl better.

For longer trips I prefer the Little Red from Camco.

The firepit hose is crimped onto it's regulator so you can't unscrew it from there and add on a hose. Looks like you can unscrew the hose from the valve at the pit control box then add on the extension hose.

And if don't have one, get an adapter that allows you to refill the 1lb green cans from a 20lb tank. Saves $$$...saves the planet.

Once empty use a cloth to protect the brass valve on top and use pliers to pull it out of the canister. Set it aside but don't loose it! Take a sheet metal or wood screw and screw it down into the plastic check valve inside the canister (3-4 turns is enough). Use pliers to pull the check valve out. Canister will pop a bit with remaining pressure. Discard. Take brass valve and reinsert it into canister ( should see three raised ridges on inserted end) by inverting the canister and pressing the valve back into canister. Should hear three snaps as those ridges lock into place. Use the proper adapter from a bottle of butane (many have a set of 3-5 adapters). Fill the canister.
And yes...you're playing around with a flammable gas so, "Don't Do Nothin' Dumb!"

Really think the spare 20lb tank for that pit is a must. Thus, I go with the Camco Little Red.
