Opinions are a plenty!! I like so many of these ideas but being a diy’er and a cheapo, I went with a propane fire pit that has a cast iron grill and a lid. Collapses to a small foot print of 8x19”.

I will say that since I was a young lad, the camp fire was the center of attention. My kids loved our backyard pit and s’mores galore even though I don’t like the combination. I love being mesmerized by the dancing of the fire, the smell of the wood and the taste of just marshmallows. Those memories are what bring me much joy and peace that I like recreating. Reminds me of a simpler time in my life before war and deployments. So a camp fire for me has such a calming effect. I personally don’t think about the smoke and smell. So yes this does present some issues, which I do consider about personal responsibility, night eyes and peaceful sounds.

Thank you all for sharing!

FireCrate 50cal ammo can fire pit with their 20psi regulator. Produces a good flame and propane is way more convenient than carrying around firewood. You don't get the nostalgic smell but you don't have to worry about fire bans during wildfire season.

I've yet to see something that out performs it, and it's a really small footprint.

I like that diy fire pit burner! Might have to pick one up! Appreciate the link!
