Jackie and I always enjoy having a campfire in the evening. At the same time, we don’t like a smokey campfire. Somehow the smoke seems to follow Jackie around, no matter where she sits. Also, the camper seems to draw smoke in and before we know it everything inside smells of smoke. Other problems are burn bans, the cost of firewood, and hauling firewood around.

We’ve had our eye on a couple of propane “campfire” products for some time, and due to the generosity of some very nice people we decided we would “splurge” a bit and get the less expensive of the two popular products: “Little Red Campfire.”

Right off I can tell you that it is, indeed “little” – just a couple of feet across. If you are looking for a roaring bonfire you will want to look elsewhere. You can make smores or roast a hot dog over it, but it won’t keep you warm on a cold night in the campground.

Mostly, it provides a nice level of ambiance.

I unboxed it, unwrapped the fake logs, hooked it up to a propane tank and it was ready to go. It worked right off. It has a little pedestal built in, so you can sit it about anywhere. Tonight we sat out after dark enjoying the friendly flame.

I think we’re going to enjoy our “Little Red Campfire.”
