Portable Propane Fire Pit | Howl Campfires ReviewsSee store reviews

I first saw one of these camping at Sea Otter where we couldn’t have a wood fire. Someone in our group had the R1. I had seen the howl before online and was skeptical how hot the R1 got. The R4 looked more like what I wanted but was out of my price range. Well, that R1 kept 10 dudes warm enough to hang outside well into the night sitting right on the coast in heavy marine layer. I bought one one the spot. I have now used it on two camping trips since and I can say this thing is awesome. Smokeles...

I can’t recommend the Howl campfire more! This little R1 packs a punch and always keeps us warm no matter what adventure we’re on and means we get to spend more quality time around the campfire making memories. The level of support from their amazing team is unparalleled by anyone and their product is amazing. As much as I absolutely love the R1 and highly recommend it, my only regret is not stepping it up and getting an R4 for the additional barcoil feature. I’ll certainly come back and get tha...

Overall review: 4.5/5 Build qualify feels solid, it’s definitely got some heft. I like the design and the way it stands upright in use and how it can be attached to a propane tank for stable transport. In terms of the heat, it definitely produces. But don't expect to sit back and get toasty warm, you’re gonna have to be close and leaning over the howl to get the warmth you want. I have used it only in my backyard so far and it’s been a pleasant experience. I can see how useful this will be ...

Considering that the only bias you can bring to your first encounter with a Howl is based on a Firecan or bigbox propane pit it really is an incomparable experience. The TLDR for me is that it’s actually warm. Broiling even. I didn’t time it, but I’m pretty dang sure futzing with the a flame level got me much better than 6.5 hours on my first tank. My very minor complaints since the praise is already pretty thick. It’s heavy, it gets hot so could limit your ability to bail quickly, and full on...

I’ve been wanting a R4 for some time now but couldn’t really justify the price tag. I was stoked to see the R1 launch and ordered within the first 10 min it was released. ZERO regrets. This thing is sweet! Hard to compare the heat output to the R4 without the BarCoal but I think it outperforms any ammo can style setup. Excellent craftsmanship and a really solid build. So excited to take this camping this Summer in the Rockies! Also, shoutout to the team at Howl for beefing up production and gett...

So far I've unboxed the R1 and had a chance to do a test run in a 15+mph wind. Everything worked perfectly. I think this new R1 will be perfect for those time when a wood campfire is prohibited. I love the fact that it's small enough to pack with everything else in the truck camper and especially like the fact that unlike other portable propane campfires, the R1 doesn't have the lava rock rolling around when stored. It's a nice compact package that will be well used over the next few years...

We absolutely love this thing! We have a small trailer, so space is always limited, and we often camp in places where traditional campfires aren’t allowed. This has been the perfect solution. For such a compact setup, the flame height and heat output are seriously impressive—it throws out way more warmth than we expected! Lighting it is effortless, and adjusting the flame height couldn’t be easier. I was also surprised by how little propane it uses—it’s way more efficient than I thought it woul...

Being a Colorado native and loving the outdoors I really enjoy having a fire. But the burn restrictions and wildfires have limited that pleasure over the last couple years so we were looking for a legal acceptable solution that provided that campfire experience. The Howl fit the bill! Small package, efficient on propane, put out heat and allowed us to just turn off and go to bed on our recent hunting trip without worrying about hot coals... I will be using it a lot and had plenty of compliments...

Took it out on its first trip this weekend and I am in love with the thing! It looks cool, it's made unbelievably well, It works just like it is supposed to every time, it throws off some heat, no smoke, the flames are brighter than a traditional wood burning campfire and I saw that first had this weekend. The ease, oh the ease. It is so easy. I ran it for about 1 1/2 hours mostly on full blast here at the house and then on the camp trip I ran it around 5 or 6 hours straight middle way to ...
