Title: This fire bowl can last for years! Ours has.
Review: This is our second Outland fire bowl purchase. We still use our first Outland fire bowl which we have had for over 5 years without any issues. These fire bowls work great and can typically still be used during most fire restrictions. Well made and easily transported. Sets up inside of 5 minutes of time. Will keep 12 people warm sitting around the fire bowl when it is 45 degrees outside. You will likely get years of use out of this fire bowl. Highly recommend.

Title: Great pit
Review: This is a really nice pit. It started with no problems and put out a nice, warm fire. The cover is great. We had a mishap loading and the pit fell on its side in the car. The lid held everything in place and no mess. The propane hose is long and the propane bottle stabilizer is very handy. The pit kept us warm, but cooled down quickly after we shut it off. Love it!

Title: One of my best purchases on Amazon
Review: I love everything about this propane fire pit. I love that it was easy to set up and is easy to use. I love that I could make it into anything I wanted. Other products were 3-4x more expensive, didn’t have the best reviews, and came with bases or tables built around them. I found those designs less appealing as they limited where I could put it or what I could do with it. I was able to get exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the price and I couldn’t be happier. I chose to put it in our existing wood fire pit with logs around it, simulating the mood of a wood fire. And the beauty is we can easily remove it when we want to have a wood fire from time to time. I love that I chose a low to the ground unit rather than a tabletop unit as I love to sit barefoot by the fire and warm my feet. (But what’s so awesome about this unit is anyone wanting to build a table around it can. With a little imagination and craftiness the possibilities are endless). I love that it provides me a little feeling of camping right in my own backyard. I love that I can listen to the birds and enjoy nature with a warm fire and cup of coffee on cold mornings or enjoy a drink outside on the cooler evenings while winding down. Otherwise I may not be out here, it may be too cold. I love that it provides a lot of heat. (I haven’t experienced a morning colder than mid 50’s yet, but even with a strong wind blowing at that temperature and a few small sprinkles, the heat it gave off on the high setting was soothing and I was very comfortable. I was also wearing my pajamas and housecoat, but my feet were bare and warmed by the fire). I love that if I want to have a quick fire for only 10 minutes I can have that. I followed the instructions and had no problems whatsoever. Some reviewers complained of difficulty with their units not working. I have had no problems. I very slowly turn the valve on the tank, slowly releasing the propane into the hose EACH time I light the unit. The rocks you see are what came with it. I chose to see how many were provided before ordering more, and for me the amount included was acceptable. It does have a faint hissing sound that accompanies the fire, but it doesn’t bother me. The pros vastly outweigh the cons for me. I also bought a propane extension hose to have the tank further away. I found the hiss from the tank was louder than the hiss from the fire. I also learned to light the fire using the flame shaped holes on the side rather than from the top as lighting things like this (including our grill) tend to make me jumpy. This is my first year with it, I’ve only owned it for a little over a month. I will update periodically.*Update*I’m still enjoying my fire on cool mornings. I don’t use it a lot, maybe a couple dozen times a year, but It’s been over 3 years and it’s held up beautifully.

Title: One of our new, favorite camping accessories. Burn Time calculation in review
Review: CAMPFIRE RESTRICTIONSIt has become a sad reality. California (and the west coast) has been hit with extreme drought and prolonged campfire restrictions due to the number of unfortunate, devastating wildfires that had been stretching the State’s firefighting resources thin. Our hearts go out to everyone affected! Last month saw something rightfully drastic that shocked our outdoor community: the US Forest Service shut down all CA USFS land for hiking, camping, and off-roading in its effort to prevent more wildfires!As outdoor enthusiasts, the realization that fires and resulting restrictions will not go away anytime soon had me finally look into propane fire pits as safer alternatives to wood/charcoal campfires. They do not produce runaway ember (that could spark a fire elsewhere) and do not cause damage to the ground underneath. That also resulted in learning about refillable propane tanks as cheaper and more environmentally-friendly fuel than those green 16oz/1lb Coleman Propane Canisters.Camping is just not the same without a campfire and most places in California do not restrict propane stoves or propane fire pits during high fire season. You should always check local fire restrictions, however, although most often you only need to sign up for a free campfire permit.In this article, I will go over the Outland Living Firebowl Propane Fire Pit, the various models, and why I now use a refillable propane tank instead of the green, 16oz canisters.IN A NUTSHELLThe Outland Living Firebowl is one of the most popular propane fire pits recommended by outdoor enthusiasts for camping, boondocking/overlanding, and backyard gatherings. It is portable, produces pleasant, dancing flames, and outputs sufficient heat to warm up a group of people. It also does unofficial double duty for cooking! I specifically chose the 19″ Firebowl Deluxe 893 model that includes a cover and carry strap for safety and easier transport. It struck me as the version with the best overall value, size, and weight suitable for a group of up to 10 people. Indeed, the first time we used it in our backyard for a California summer evening get-together produced quite an unbearable amount of heat at its highest setting!Safety was my biggest concern in finding a propane fire pit, followed by portability, reliability, and price. The Firebowl 893 Deluxe is certified by the CSA and looks to be sturdy and very well-made. Setup and usage was simple: Connect the pre-attached 10′ hose to a distant, secured, 20lb propane tank, check for gas leak, slowly and gradually light up the burner, and allow the included 4.4 lbs of porous lava rocks to heat up for 5+ mins for a vibrant flame. The heat intensity can then be adjusted through a valve knob — the lower the flames, the longer the fire lasts. A 5 pound propane tank could last about 2-4 hours, whereas a 20 lb would be usable for 7-12 hours according to anecdotes from users across the Internet. Various factors would affect the usage time, including heat setting, weather conditions, and ambient temperature. Do note that Outland Living will ONLY support the use of 20 lb propane tanks as that is what their products were certified for. My research found that 5-20 lb (1-5 gal) tanks are safe to connect to. I also use these cylinders to power the Mr. Heater Buddy indoor heater.What I particularly like about the Firebowl is how quickly a fire could be started/stopped on demand (even when the surrounding campsite is wet), how it burns without any smoke, and that the heat intensity could be controlled — a valuable feature for predictable cooking. Wood and coal fires cannot easily claim those properties. Most importantly, propane fire pits can be used at most places during a campfire ban because they do not produce ember nor damage underneath vegetation.Propane fire pits, of course, also have their disadvantages. They usually are not certified for use other than what they were developed for. That means that cooking, although possible, is discouraged because fire pits like these are designed to produce yellow flames. Those result in soot, a black substance consisting mostly of carbon, that can cause breathing issues, heart disease, and even cancer. Furthermore, grease or food particles can clog the burner and give the fire pit an unsightly appearance — it certainly took some time to clean after a test of some delicious steak grilled in butter, rosemary, and garlic inside a cast iron pan. If you want the taste of charcoal or hear the fire crackling, propane is not able to provide that. Outland Living, in fact, skirts around the question of cooking and using third party products (like glass or non-lava rocks) with a generic statement that its products are not CSA-certified with other products or for use other than a fire pit. Many consumers, myself included, do not see a problem roasting marshmallows/hot dogs or boiling water over a sturdy cooktop grate, but be sure to not let any drip or fall into the pit. That would make for some messy cleanup or clogged burner holes!Outland Living has a natural gas conversion kit available for use at home, and the Deluxe version of the Firebowl comes with a carry strap and lid. The latter helps keep children and animals away from the cooling lava rocks while also holding said rocks in place during transport.Camping is just not the same without a campfire, right? With fire restrictions increasingly more common in California and with our family also doing more dispersed camping, a portable, safe fire pit has become one of our favorite camping accessories to bring along. The Outland Living Firebowl 893 Deluxe fits perfectly in our Yakima SkyBox roof carrier and with that, we now have access to warmth, a natural TV show of flames, and cooking as needed. When there is no smoke, there also is no smelling like smoke! I cannot wait to use it during colder weather in a few months!IGNITION AND LOW FLAMESPropane tanks and appliances have a built-in excess flow safety device. The Firebowl’s is located in the hose and those not aware may think their fire pit or propane tank is defective when it actually is a safety feature. If pressure builds up too fast in the hose, the hose regulator will limit the flow, keeping the flame size low and not responsive to the gas knob.TROUBLESHOOTING A LOW FLAME- Turn off the gas at both the propane tank and fire pit ends- Open the fire pit gas valve to release pressure and close again- Disconnect and reconnect the hose from the propane tank- VERY SLOWLY open the propane tank’s valve. Going too fast will release too much pressure and trigger the hose safety device again- Perform a leak test around the valve and hose-- This should be done at least once a year-- One simple way is to mix soap and water and spray onto the valve and hose-- If you see bubbles forming or smell propane, you may have discovered the leak and should shut down the gas immediately--- Wait an hour for the remaining gas to dissipate before disconnecting the hose. Take the part in for inspection- If there is no leak, proceed to igniting the fire pitIGNITING THE FIRE PIT- Manufacturer recommends 80″ (7′) clearance above and 36″ (3′) surrounding the fire pit-- No combustible surface should be underneath- Ensure the propane tank is at least 36″ (or 3′) away from the fire pit – THIS IS IMPORTANT!-- If possible, put the tank into the included stabilizer ring to keep it from tipping over- With the propane tank’s gas valve already SLOWLY opened, light up a match or lighter slightly above the fire pit- VERY slowly open the gas valve on the fire pit until the fire ignitesBURN TIME CALCULATIONBTU (British Thermal Unit) measures the amount of heat (energy) it takes to raise 1lb of water a single 1F. It is commonly used with heaters and air conditioners. There is 91,500 BTU of energy in 1 gallon (4.24 lbs) of liquid propane.To calculate how many hours are available for the fire pit set on the “High” setting with 1 gallon of liquid propane:Calc: 91,500 BTU/hr / Appliance BTU/hr rating = Hours available per gallonFirebowl burns at 58,000 BTU/hr on “High” setting. It can last an approximate minimum of:- 1 gal (4.24 lbs) propane: 1.58 hours = 91,500 / 58,000-- 5 gal (21.2 lbs) propane: 7.88 hours = 91,500 / 58,000 x 5- 1 lb propane: 0.37 hours = 91,500 / 58,000 / 4.24-- 5 lb propane: 1.86 hours = 91,500 / 58,000 / 4.24 x 5-- 20 lb propane: 7.44 hours = 91,500 / 58,000 / 4.24 x 20FINAL THOUGHTSMy children and fellow camping friends were ecstatic when they saw the Outland Living Firebowl turned on at camp. It turned their disappointment of not being able to have a campfire to one of joy and cheers, starting the evening off with a warm, cozy mood and intriguing storytelling. Sometimes, some neighbors walked by to remind us that a campfire ban was in effect until we shared we were running off propane, whereas some would come over to ask which fire pit we had or recommended.I appreciated the ability to quickly turn on the fire in the chilly, early morning while the little ones slowly woke up and sat in their chairs with instant ramen or hot chocolate in their hands. Furthermore, refillable propane tanks are not only less expensive and more environmentally friendly than the 16oz/1lb green propane cylinders, they can also power our Mr. Heater Buddy indoor heater for longer periods of time. A 5 lb propane tank allows about 2-4 hours of use, perfect for a long weekend getaway.If I had not yet made it clear, a propane fire pit has become an essential part of our camping gear now, especially when campfires are not allowed or when I don’t want any smoke to irritate the eyes of the youngest of the kids. It also has enabled us to have a campfire (without smelling like smoke afterwards) when boondocking/overlanding on dispersed land where new fire rings are not permitted. All in all, could not be happier with our choice. The Firebowl 893 Deluxe comes highly recommended.

Review: Even on the low setting, it’s nice and warm here on a fall evening in Buffalo, NY at about 60° outside. There’s no need to turn it up to high. It looks really nice. It was super easy to set up. I feel like I got my money out of it already after a few nights.

Review: Set this up today. Instructions say it comes with 4 bags of lava rocks. 3 bags for the bowl and a bag of "spares". Well, ours only came with 2 bags and the spares. Not a huge deal as the spares would likely just take up space on a basement shelf for decades. LOL It does blow through a lot of propane, but the manual says to expect that. A full 20 lb tank should last between 7 and 11 hours depending on the valve setting used. We used it full on tonight as it was quite chilly. If you were camping for a week and using it nightly I think it would be best to bring a spare tank if you have one.Anyway, it is a sturdy piece of gear that comes with a lid and carry straps. Doesn't weight much. Less than 10 lbs I'd say. It was toasty warm once the lava rocks heated up. We sat about 3 feet away. Also, these can be used even if there is a fire ban on in most places. Check your local bylaws. Happy with this unit so far. It will make a nice addition to our camping gear.

Review: Camping on the North West Coast of Scotland. Tent up, fire on, amazing sunset. What more could you ask for. A lot of campsites do not allow fire pits but will allow a fire bowl powered by propane gas. Clean, no mess, no wood to carry, minimal fire risk if positioned correctly. Even on half setting there was a lot of heat coming from it. We put in all the lava rock that came with it. One bag not enough really to cover the burners adequately. Really adds to the atmosphere of an evening. Very portable with the carrying straps/handle. You could really take this anywhere as long as your propane tank isn't too big. Beach, Garden etc..
