Portable Fire Pits by HK Offroad

We often light camp fires from our backyard gathering, dispersed camping (where allowed) and at developed camp sites with-out fire pits. 

Every time we camp, we're usually up till about 2am until only a hand-full of people remain around the camp-fire. At that time all the logs are burned and all you see is bright hot red amber in the fire pit. That's when we take out the lamb chops, beef filet kebabs or even spicy marinated chicken wings and place them over the remaining camp fire giving us the best last meal of the evening before calling it a night. 

Kit Includes: Fire pit ONLY in bare steel which consists of the four walls and base plate covering the bottom of the fire pit. Ready to setup and put some logs on fire. No skewers, no carrying case. 

Key Reasons the HK Fire Pit was created;

  • Lightweight and portable design as it collapses for transport with interlocking plates
  • Sets up in 15-seconds
  • Skewer slots on top of pit for cooking using stainless steel skewers, or Viking swords to cook Dinosaur meat, you decide (skewers not provided)
  • Keeps the area cleaner than stacking rocks in a round pile
  • Efficient air flow for a continues burn
  • 14-gauge steel construction
  • Arrives bare steel. We don't like paint on our fire pits. because we cook on them

 

***IMPORTANT***Campfire Safety Information - Provided by ReserveAmerica.com

Enjoying the pop and hiss of a glowing campfire—not to mention the light and warmth that the fire provides—is one of the most enjoyable parts of camping. But building campfires comes with responsibility. A campfire that is not properly built, maintained and extinguished can quickly become a hazard to the people, animals and land around it. In the United States, people start nearly nine out of 10 wildfires. It's important to understand how to safely and responsibly enjoy your campfire.

These are the top 10 must-know tips for campfire safety.

1. Know the rules

Before you strike a match, make sure you know the fire regulations of the campground or wilderness area in which you are planning to build a fire. Fire rules change, and a campground that allowed campfires the last time you visited my have a temporary ban on them if the risk of wildfires is high. Pay attention to posted signs and check the ranger’s station for current campfire regulations.

2. Use the pit

Most campgrounds provide a fire pit or fire ring in which to build a campfire. If a pit is provided, this is the only place you should build a campfire. If you're in a remote area where campfires are allowed but a pit is not provided, use our fire pit in an open area away from overhanging branches, power lines or other hazards that could catch on fire. Once you decide on where to light the fire pit, ensure there is a ten-foot area around the pit that is cleared of anything that could catch on fire.

3. Build a safe campfire

Once your pit is in place, build a safe campfire. Start the fire with dried leaves or grass that will easily catch fire. Next, add kindling, small twigs and sticks that are less than an inch in diameter. As the fire builds, add the largest pieces of wood to the fire. They will keep the fire burning for a longer period of time and provide heat. Keep in mind that your fire does not have to be roaring. A small fire will produce plenty of heat for both cooking and warmth.

 

 

4. Mind the match

Start your campfire with a match and then make sure it is completely extinguished before disposing of it. Pour water over the match or throw it directly into the fire to burn. Never use lighter fluid, gas, kerosene or other flammable liquids to start a fire.

5. Use local firewood

Though it may not be apparent to the naked eye, tree-killing insects and diseases can live on firewood. If you’re going camping six hours down the road and decide to bring firewood from home you could, without knowing it, transport insects and diseases and inadvertently introduce them into the forests where they weren’t found before. That’s why it’s so important to use local firewood. Local is defined as the closest convenient source of firewood that you can find. If possible, pick up firewood from the campground camp store or a nearby location.

6. Keep water handy

Don’t start a campfire without having a bucket of water and a shovel nearby. The water can be used to douse any runaway flames and the shovel can be used to throw sand or dirt on any flames that jump the perimeter of your fire pit.  It’s also smart practice to keep a few feet of ground outside of your fire ring watered down, so if a stray ember or flame jumps outside of your fire pit, it won’t gain any traction.

 

7. Pay attention to the wind

A strong breeze can spread your fire in an instant. To make sure a sudden gust of wind doesn’t turn your campfire into a wildfire, keep anything flammable, including unused firewood, upwind and at least 15 feet away from the fire. The 15-foot rule also goes for your tent and clothing hung to dry.

8. Be careful with kids and pets

It’s not just the risk of forest fires that you need to be mindful of while camping. Campfires are the leading cause of children’s camping injuries in the United States. Teach your kids about the danger of fire and don’t allow children or pets around the campfire unless they are on an adult’s lap. Teach kids how to stop, drop and roll in the event that their clothes catch on fire.  

9. Never leave a campfire unattended

A campfire should not be left alone, even for one minute. A small breeze can spread fire quickly, so there should be at least one set of eyes monitoring the fire at all times. Even if you’re leaving the fire for a short period of time, like to take a quick hike, the fire should be completely extinguished. You’ll be able to restart it once you return.

10. Put the fire out properly—every time

When you are done with your campfire make sure it is extinguished properly. Dump water on the fire, stir the ashes with a shovel, then dump more water on the fire. The campfire should be cold before you leave it unattended. If it is too hot to touch, then it is too hot to leave. Large logs will be more difficult to extinguish than smaller logs so make sure they are also soaked with water. Check for hidden burning embers underneath. And never bury coals from the fire—they can smolder and start to burn again.
