Darren Pye: Was exactly what I was hoping for. Easy to use, move, and store. Very nice to have for family gatherings.

Chaz C: We wanted a firepit for under a pergola so obviously real fire was unusable. This fits the bill perfectly and throws off a lot of heat out sideways and not too much directly up. We have a 3m roof but I should think it'd still be fine under a 2.4 height. It is fitted with the newer LPG connector though so pick up a converter if you use the more standard older fitting.

Voyager50: Belle flamme et bon contrôle de celle-ci. N'étant pas très haut de terre on sent bien la chaleur quand on assit autour. Une bouteille de 20 lbs de propane donne environ 8hres de chauffage avec une bonne flamme de moyen à fort.

Derek L.: The output is great for it's size. The lid and carry handle are great for packing the pit, although we did order a carry bag. Definitely recommend.

MPMP: The media could not be loaded.  This thing is pretty great. I went back and forth on this and a Solo Stove Bonfire. There’s not much substitute for a real wood fire. They smell good, they sound good, they look good... But they also require wood, and time, they burn out on their schedule, not yours, and ultimately you end up smelling like campfire, with an ashy mess on your hands.

I decided clean, odorless, on-demand fire that turns off when I’m ready for it to be off was enough to tip the scales. So I started looking more and more at Outland Firebowls. We’re not RVers, and really not much into camping, so I just needed something that would work on our patio. I initially settled on the Mega Fire Pit, but then I noticed the Helios burner on the Cypress. Glad I did. It’s slightly smaller diameter, a little bit lower profile, and just a little more wheel-without-a-tire looking, but holy cow what a flame. It’s nearly as nice to look at as a real log fire. And it gets HOT. Anyone who complains about this not radiating enough heat is crazy. Medium heat is almost too hot to sit close to. High will melt your face like a Dimebag Daryl guitar solo. It does take a few...

E. Schmidt: This is a review for the Outland 863 Cypress portable outdoor firebowl.

I bought this for RV camping, to give up on the mess and hassle of firewood. There is so much more to gain than just the tradeoff in weight and bulk of bringing (taboo) firewood. The social gathering and meal around the evening fire is just such a tradition and pinnacle important aspect of camping. Burning gas seemed at first like such sacrilege! I will admit I was stubborn at first, with a heavy bias for the tradition of burning wood fires for so long. But with age comes wisdom. I am now a believer.

PRO’s:
This model is a very low profile design. It looks great and plenty of heat.
There is no smoke.
Way more convenient than wood fires.
Takes up less space than with wood.
Portability- not a “fixed” fire pit.
No axe, shovel, paper, kindling, or fire-starters needed.
Less mess- nothing to sweep, clean up, or ashes to empty.
Instant gratification- Light it, and the fire is ready
Enjoy a fire even when it rains -underneath the side awning of the RV, or a pop-up or whatever.
Safer. Less risk of starting a forest fire. (Smokey is dancing the jig!)
Turn it off and...
