A friend of mine recently brought one of these on a camping trip to Scotland, when he got it out, I could feel my eyes rolling, it looked like it was going to fall apart within seconds, but it didn't, and the performance was amazing. I couldn't believe how well it worked, and like you said, it burns damp wood quite easily, with very little smoke, by the end of the first night I was converted, easily one of the best fire pits I've ever sat around.. Purchased one myself straight away, and have never looked back, a truly amazing product!
I call it "Raised Fire Pit" I got one 3 years ago from Amazon too, mine came with spare clips and 2 wire mesh, works great, no problems with it so far, the bag still works!! Over here we have what we call fire logs, they are used in open and closed fire places, they burn between 4 and 6 hrs, I use them for heat if there is no dead wood around, sometimes a combination of both, I get 4 hrs of heat out of one fire log and do my cooking on a trangia all under a tarp, never any issues, I also purchased a mat to go under the fire pit to protect the grass under it as it does burn the grass, as I do my best to leave no trace after me, so far I'm very happy with the raised fire pit which I paid €22 for. Great piece of kit👌
These TOGR vid’s are so professionally produced, in a good way. Authentic, instructional, and so well edited, tight. Thank you for not wasting time, but without a frenetic pace that lots of campers appreciate the easy slow down pace of the world. Makes me feel like I want to learn and then go try it.
Looks like a great product for snowy conditions, no need to dig out a fire pit plus the heat source sits a little higher warming you faster, for firewood I just use the dead branches of the trees around me, this product looks like a win to me. 🇨🇦
I just got one for Christmas. I chunked the cheap easy to lose corner clips and used 4 steel shepards hook tent pegs. Works perfect. As far as the fire goes I bult an upsidedown fire on it and it burns for 2 solid hours without touching it.
I bought one on sale from Amazon for $8 last year. I felt I couldn't go wrong at that price! It's been great. The campground firepits in coastal Oregon can be quite damp so I bought this mesh fire pit to get more air flow and avoid super smoky fires. It works perfectly.
I have one of these. I have the large one. It's fabulous. I don't have any cons at all. No pit to dig out. No ash falling through. I find the setup really easy. The bag has stood up well. A great fire pit in my opinion. Great thorough review. 👍👍
A lot of Japanese campers use these mesh fire stands. They keep the ash contained for easy removal which is a requirement in Japan. They also load them up with firewood, lots of split log wood and no problems with durability. Windy conditions would cause extreme caution. So many variations of these exist, which to choose is the hard part.
I love mine. I use it winter camping in Western Australia….we have total fire band about 6 months of the year, but I don’t camp so much then, anyway. Australian hardwoods like Jarrah burn really well on them. A bit of sand in the bottom of the mesh improves burn times and protects the mesh.
A Swedish outdoor channel I follow used these during his overnighters earlier this year and I was hooked. They're very good for the money as you can just buy 2-3 of them and not worry if they break!
I got the exact same ”fire pit”. And I love it (!) for three reasons: no1 I can enjoy a fire pretty much anywhere since it leaves NO TRACE! No2 like you showed, it is possible to move it under the tarp if it starts to rain. No3 you can sit with your legs under it, and really warm up your feet and legs. I used it maybe 30 times now and it still holds up. For me, I always strive to leave no trace, at the same time I just love to build a fire. Many thanks for keeping it real and honest Luke! 👏👍🏻 cheers from Sweden.
Utilize aluminum foil for a "squared circle" on the mesh prior to starting the fire. Make it a few inches smaller than the mesh and use it to "choke down on the amount of oxygen feeding the fire from below" and that will extend the burn time for you. ~ 12 Block Tokie ~ Detroit, Michigan
I think that it's a good idea. No matter if it blocks the air coming from below. The air that comes from the sides is more than enough to keep the fire going. It also protects the mesh.
Hi Luke, I just ordered one. On my one acre wooded lot, I have tons of small twigs and limbs. This looks about right to to help keep dispose of the mess. I can rake up piles then move the pit around. Nice video.
I've been using one of these for the last year when there is no fire pit on the campsite pitch but you are allowed to have fire as long as you leave on trace. I put it on a insulated fire blanket to protect the ground and like you have been really in pressed with it although on my last camp there is a small hole in in the mesh after about 8 nights of use. But as a light weight way of having somewhere to have a fire and not totally burn the ground it works surprisingly well.
i got this in australia for $18 on amazong and love it, i had a expensive $200 one but it took up too much storage space and this is just right for me.
I have one just like this and have used it in the backyard a few times. I used it last weekend with charcoal and was able to place my UCO grilliput on top of it to grill some stakes. I also am able to put a fire mat wrapped around the supports in the flimsy bag and have a much less anxious time about having a mesh firepit.
I purchased two stainless mesh firepits with a lil heftier build from Fireside Outdoor a couple of years ago. REI had one on display and I got two versions straight from the manufacturer. They're great for being portable enough to bring in somewhere if there's wet ground or an area they don't want the ground scorched.
i've used fire stands like this before. i didn't use them to keep warm, i used them to get a fire burning hot, pour the contents in the actual fire pit and then i can cook. they're a fast way to get good coals going but don't rely om one solely for a "good" fire.
I've been thinking of buying one of these. I think it would be great for wet conditions and I could easily use a tripod grill over it for cooking I think. Thanks for the review, Luke!
Kevin, That type of hot fire is not conducive to most Dutch oven cooking. They typically work with hot coals for a steady even heat on the cast iron (and coals on the lid as well). There are some good method and recipes info sources out there for outdoor Dutch oven cooking! Not trying to dissuade you from trying, just wanted to provide a heads up! I was a Boy Scout leader for 12 yrs we did a LOT of Dutch oven meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts ! GREAT, now I'm hungry! 😂
I've been looking this product appear as a suggestion for me in social networks for a very long time, I was in doubt whether to buy it or not. Now it's confirmed, thanks, and it's only 9 dollars in my country
Certainly the "no walls" thing helps enhance the fire, but it's the air coming from the bottom (through the porous mesh) that is feeding most of the extra oxygen causing a strong updraft. Pit fires get no air from underneath but plenty from the sides.
I like that you can take that anywhere. I have a beautiful fire pit in my backyard but you know it costs me almost a 100 . Where for $18 LOL you can have this one that you can put it anywhere and it's not gonna rust if you leave it out in the rain after a while.😮 And although my fire pit is beautiful with tiles and everything. It is already starting to rust. So I might be catching one of these. Thank you Luke
i have the tripod type.. i like how it is hanging in air.. no problem lighting up even on wet camp i just put something over when its raining or foil around the frame.. but yeah, wood burns fast.. i use coal bricks instead for cooking.. you should try it as well..😉
We use ours for car camping where sites allow fires but must be raised off the ground. Much smaller pack size than most other raised firepits, and also cheap.
Had mine arrive on Friday, ordered right after I caught your initial video using it. Different "brand" (Inchoco) but the exact same product down to the plastic zipper. Looking forward to using it this summer and fall.
I’m not sure what I think of it….but I’m very interested. I just don’t know when or why I would use it.maybe a stealth camp. Heat up quickly , cool quickly, an$ leave no trace.
I have the 16 inch version. I use it to make pizza while camping. I use a shallow pan and start cooking the pizza over the fire, then slide it in under the fire for top heat. I do this a couple of times over 10 minutes or so.
Hey I went to Amazon and the 22 x 22 is 32.98 - went to their site and it directed me back to Amazon. Thought that was weird. But the difference between 26 and 33 I went ahead and ordered. Thanks Luke as always great review.
If you set this on a fireproof mat to help distribute the weight like the Nemo Moonlite Elite Backpacking chair this would be great in the winter for camping in the snow.
Japanese used this kind of stove for a long time. I seen this from Japanese Anime Yuru Camp . I would recommend you to watch this anime and maybe you will interest in camping in Japan.
In rain or snow, this gets the fire up and away from cold wet ground, allowing for complete combustion. Set under the high end of a tarp protects this pit from most of the elements but allows it tho burn well.
Above ground fire mesh. One issue I have, and it's tiny one. Say, you have friends that can't walk straight or you got a buzz from a reasonable amount of beer. Then, it might be tiny problem turn into a big problem! 🤔 then there's the down side. But, it would be good in some wet areas like monsoons or snow storms.
Luke… Look up the Fire Maple version called: Sunset Ultralight Foldable Fire Pit Grill. It’s an PREMIUM version of these “mesh” style fire pits… I own 2 of them… ya THAT NICE, that I bought 2 of them. 👍🏽
Hi luke! 😊 my husband Bob and i are new to you're channel. We are both very entertained by you're videos and find them very informative. Keep them coming and be safe out there. BOB AND LISA HUMBLE. QUESTION: WHAT KIND OF CLOTHING ARE YOU WEARING IN YOU'RE VIDEOS, ESPECIALLY..WHAT TYPE OF PANTS DO YOU WEAR, AND WHAT DO THEY RUN RETAIL? SUSIE HAD A TYPE OF CARGO STYLE THAT I THINK CONVERTED TO SHORTS..WHAT BRAND DOES SHE WEARE PLEASE? COULD YOU DO A VIDIO ON OUT DOOR CLOTHING?
One comment about the capacity: 12 kg = 26 lbs. I think this is what they meant. By the way, thanks for your videos; they are very entertaining, even for someone who does not plan to go camping any time soon! 🙂
I like your vids and just subscribed. With that being said, you might want to experiment with numerous catch phrases. With that being said resonates like at the end of the day and boots on the ground. You are quite articulate, so I know you can say other words. With that being said, thanks for showing us this firepit. Could you possibly direct me to your presentation that contains the most with that being saids? I have an idea for a drinking game. Cheers.
I bought one from Wish 5 years ago. Mine is only 2 pieces, the stand and the mesh, takes less than a minute to set up and half of that is getting it out of the bag. For something from Wish it’s still going strong
Had one of these. Lasted a couple years. The screws will fall off one by one and will need to be replaced because you’ll never find them again lol. And the mesh eventually melted through, leaving a giant hole
I have one, like it, but yes, the zipper is of plastic and I broke mine the first time I used it... one single pull and it was broken...... still like it.

I have had 1 for 5 tears and use it for my Leave No Trace training. niot so good in the wind. I live in Desert So Cal
Name: The Floating Fire Pit. Your videos are great and informative. The best to you.
Like Luke's name for it, fire pit standy thing!!! 😂

Saw that on Laid back camp.
Plenty of super cool camping gear in Japan especially with fire. With weak yen, prices are very good on Amazon Japan
Been using one of these in the UK for years! The mesh does deteriorate quite quickly, but you can buy a replacement 22" mesh for under a tenner.
I’ve had one of these for 3 years and it is perfect for twig / small pieces and if the ground is wet or snow covered.
I love mine. I use it winter camping in Western Australia….we have total fire band about 6 months of the year, but I don’t camp so much then, anyway. Australian hardwoods like Jarrah burn really well on them. A bit of sand in the bottom of the mesh improves burn times and protects the mesh.
hows it holding up ? I thought the ausie hardwoods might burn too hot for the mesh and buggar it up pretty quickly
A Swedish outdoor channel I follow used these during his overnighters earlier this year and I was hooked. They're very good for the money as you can just buy 2-3 of them and not worry if they break!
Great video, I’ve had this stove for about 3 years now and totally agree with your solid review 🙏🏻

I ordered 3 last week after seeing you use them :) Glad to see your review is favorable

Defeats the purpose of raising the fire off the ground.
Just use sand, clay or rocks.
I think that it's a good idea. No matter if it blocks the air coming from below. The air that comes from the sides is more than enough to keep the fire going. It also protects the mesh.

I also am able to put a fire mat wrapped around the supports in the flimsy bag and have a much less anxious time about having a mesh firepit.
I can see this being a great item for winter camping where I go, where we have a lot of deep snow. Nice review
Luke you are truley professinal, better than anyone else doing this

They're great for being portable enough to bring in somewhere if there's wet ground or an area they don't want the ground scorched.

I like it's light cheap and packable.
Plus they sell extra mesh.

Used mine for around 4 years, great fun little portable fire pit, excellent for cooking steaks too
Sounds like a good value for the performance.
Just received the 22inch. Set up was easy. Can’t to use it on my upcoming remote camping trip.
I've been thinking about trying one of these, now I will. Thank you
I've been thinking of buying one of these. I think it would be great for wet conditions and I could easily use a tripod grill over it for cooking I think. Thanks for the review, Luke!
I love it! Never heard them before, definitely gonna look out for more by them. Sounds so early punk, it could easily be from the 70s. Cheers mate
I like it. After watching this I want one.
Brilliant piece of kit, change the net clips for vine eyes. It’s a good mod.
Love your videos! Keep doing what you’re doing!
I'm getting the tripod style one for sure. I've never tried cooking over fire using a dutch oven before, so this will be a great way to learn.
Kevin, That type of hot fire is not conducive to most Dutch oven cooking. They typically work with hot coals for a steady even heat on the cast iron (and coals on the lid as well).

I was a Boy Scout leader for 12 yrs we did a LOT of Dutch oven meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts ! GREAT, now I'm hungry! 😂
I've had my eye on these for a while, so I'm glad to see you turned your attention to them. Now excuse me while I whip out my shopping app...
Interesting product for snow, sand, overly rocky terrain, or during heavy rains. I am looking forward to more reports.
Hi Luke I bought one about a week ago and the instructions were on the box it came in,have a great one
So impressed with that stove,, I would call it a Fire Stand.. love it..
Fire Hammock
Just bought one, or one like it for my little brother. Also got a fireproof mat for under it
Couple of years ago, I considered this style of stove-pit...For my needs and at that time unknown concerns chose a plat pack desing.
I use roofing nails to hang the screen on mine. Saves time and holds more secured
lol, just got this a week ago. glad your doing a review on it. I think I paid ten bucks for mine.
We use these in aus, from personal experience not best for fire but coals for cooking is perfect
how is the mesh holding up with the ausie hardwood ?
I've been looking this product appear as a suggestion for me in social networks for a very long time, I was in doubt whether to buy it or not. Now it's confirmed, thanks, and it's only 9 dollars in my country

It's a good idea I think it has room for improvement like a Pop up one? maybe.
Elevated Fire Pit
Starting to be popular here in the uk
Great review, my only concern would be using this product in windy conditions but overall looks to be a good product at a good price.

Thanks Luke as always great review.
We've used these for years. We've always called them a Fire stand.
I've seen this in a few of your recent videos and have been looking forward to this review!
I would not use around children, or in windy conditions. But I have been thinking of adding this to my camping supplies
Cheese Luke... I'm thinking about getting one of them and your video has been very helpful thank you sir.
Thanks Luke. That would be pretty good for boondocking. Just clear out any debri from underneath and you are good to go.
Stay safe and God bless.
If you set this on a fireproof mat to help distribute the weight like the Nemo Moonlite Elite Backpacking chair this would be great in the winter for camping in the snow.
I think it should be called Freddie the Fire Pit Thingy 😁
I have the SOL folding fire pit and it works great. I would like to see what you think of it. I believe the actual name is SOL Packable Fire Pit.
Luke..Please make another review when the mesh needs replacing knowing the numbers of usage. Thanks for the video.
In my experience it lasted 6 fires so turns out expensive way to have a fire
I used one for about 25 times in a two year use. Only reason I replaced the mesh is because I put too much wood once and it tore a bit.
Great video would love to have this have you ever tried cooking or boiling water over it?
This is the FireScreen
I have one small compact and cheap …worth it in my opinion.
Interesting 👍
Good review 👍

Fire table.. could be used to get stuff off wet ground or snow
I have been using the smaller one
Can you even keep the fire calm and slow burning with so much airflow?
How does it do when adding fuel? If you brush against it, does it burn you? Or will it fall over? Or is it stable enough to take an occasional bump?
Above ground fire mesh. One issue I have, and it's tiny one. Say, you have friends that can't walk straight or you got a buzz from a reasonable amount of beer. Then, it might be tiny problem turn into a big problem! 🤔 then there's the down side. But, it would be good in some wet areas like monsoons or snow storms.
Keeps your feet warm when put underneath
Fire Stand!
Luke… Look up the Fire Maple version called: Sunset Ultralight Foldable Fire Pit Grill. It’s an PREMIUM version of these “mesh” style fire pits… I own 2 of them… ya THAT NICE, that I bought 2 of them. 👍🏽
Hi luke! 😊 my husband Bob and i are new to you're channel. We are both very entertained by you're videos and find them very informative. Keep them coming and be safe out there. BOB AND LISA HUMBLE.

I have had a similar fire pit since 2020 with no problems. It is OK as a fire but good for cooking.
One comment about the capacity: 12 kg = 26 lbs. I think this is what they meant. By the way, thanks for your videos; they are very entertaining, even for someone who does not plan to go camping any time soon! 🙂
Come On Baby Light My Fire ! ! !
I like your vids and just subscribed. With that being said, you might want to experiment with numerous catch phrases. With that being said resonates like at the end of the day and boots on the ground. You are quite articulate, so I know you can say other words. With that being said, thanks for showing us this firepit.
Could you possibly direct me to your presentation that contains the most with that being saids? I have an idea for a drinking game. Cheers.
For the cost, I will definitely pick one up. 🤙
I bought one from Wish 5 years ago. Mine is only 2 pieces, the stand and the mesh, takes less than a minute to set up and half of that is getting it out of the bag. For something from Wish it’s still going strong
It was excellent the first few times I used it then the mesh split along the folds. Gutted.
Had one of these. Lasted a couple years. The screws will fall off one by one and will need to be replaced because you’ll never find them again lol. And the mesh eventually melted through, leaving a giant hole
I have one, like it, but yes, the zipper is of plastic and I broke mine the first time I used it... one single pull and it was broken...... still like it.
I have this Tooooooo... But unused... I'll use it after your review... Either way I can't send it back since it's been with me since last year.
Thanks again, I would call this a waste of time and money.
