This portable stainless steel fire pit is lightweight, so you can bring it outside at a moment’s notice, like when friends drop by wanting to catch up over a glass of Cabernet. The spark-free, CSA-approved model is safe to use during campfire bans, too.

With an impressive 58,000 BTU output, it comes with a 10-foot hose that connects to a standard 5-gallon propane tank, and a natural lava rock set that enhances the flicker effect. It even comes with a cover that is both UV and weather-resistant to keep it safe and dry in all conditions.

Plus, the reviews are hot! This baby got a 4.8 out of 5-star rating, with people raving about everything from its portability to its ability to attract friends like moths to a flame.

One said it saved their social life during Covid, writing: "We purchased this fire pit to use in our driveway for safe outdoor social hours with friends and family. It has worked great! I do wish it put out more heat, but it definitely creates ambiance and makes us feel much warmer while gathered outdoors during chilly weather. Very easy to set up and get fired up!"

Others say it is great for gatherings during camping season. "I have a wonderful group of friends who love to go camping together, and we live in Colorado, where we've had significant wildfires and therefore, fire bans. This has saved our summer," one wrote. "We can gather round w our chairs and adult bevvies, talk and laugh, and enjoy the best part of nighttime camping - the campfire! Works great, easily transportable, and can be turned off in an instant with a switch. Fun, functional and safe."

Normally priced at $200, the popular portable fire pit can be yours for just $90 — that's more than half off! Even better, if you want to give it as a holiday gift it will arrive before Christmas if you order it today.
