There are some things that just make spending time outdoors better. Example? A fire pit. It warms you up when temperatures plummet and gives you the perfect excuse to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. Whether you decide to do so in your own backyard, on a camping trip, or in a parking lot during a nighttime tailgate, it’s going to become an easier process thanks to Fireside Outdoor’s Pop-Up Fire Pit.

There is a seemingly endless list of fire pit options. Don’t even get us started on the types, including gas fire pits, wood fire pits, smokeless fire pits—you name it. While those are great—we should know, we’ve done the research and testing—sometimes you need a portable one that’s easy to assemble.

Available on Amazon for $99.95, this 24 by 24 by 15-inch fire pit is portable and great for burning wood or charcoal. The set-up is simple: Extend the frame on a level surface, fasten the heat shield with the Velcro, place the ember guards on the four sides, and place the stainless steel fire mesh on top. Did we mention that this can all be done in under 60 seconds? The mesh holds up to 125 pounds of weight and doesn’t allow ash to fall through either.

This product is a popular choice for those looking for campfire fun wherever they go. With a 4.7 out of 5-star rating from over 1,100, buyers are using this pit “at home on the patio and in the woods on trips.” One reviewer liked its “nice size” and the “very little clean up” that came with it.

By weighing just under 8 pounds and having space-saving capabilities, it makes an ideal travel essential. Now you can make a campfire anywhere you go—and then safely put it all away with the included carry bag.
