Maiden voyage trip for our HOWL Campfire! We are camping all around the San Juans and the HOWL has been everything we could have asked for! Quick easy set up, instant heat, FIRE ANYWHERE, minimal space in our truck, and NO clean up! WHOOO! You guys are amazing! We will be telling all of our friends to buy one!

Works amazing, had no issue at Pismo beach and gets very warm. Glad we went for the R4 with the barcoal burners. The flame was hot but the burners are a game changer. “Stargaze” mode looks phenomenal with the blue glowing flame. The R4 worked very well even in the morning when very damp.

I’m so impressed with the Howl R1 that I am now buying them as gift for my family and employees! This is a great product that is solid and can be passed down to future generations! Can’t wait to see my R4!

While this thing is built like a tank and should have no issues lasting for decades in the back of my trailer, the tank/stove combo is cumbersome for my setup. But you’re not here for that. Is it hot? Yes, but it didn’t seem as hot as it’s purported to be. It didn’t seem like I had to back up off it as others have said, but maybe I was already back where I normally sit to stay away from smoke and wood fires. The FAQs say it will get hotter as the barcoal tubes darken with use. The flame top w...

Howl delivered with the R1; big gorgeous flame that’s a mesmerizing pleasure to stare into, loads of heat, and their engineering and craftsmanship proudly on display. The campfire feels like you could park a car on it, the packaging, documentation, and detailed manual are all the highest quality. Beyond the actual product Howl’s support was top notch. (Only required support for a shipping question.)

This thing is freakin’ bombproof. The quality and construction surpass my expectations and the heat and flame output are amazing! I am frequently off grid and in my region there are often fire bands, and this thing is clutch. Not sure how I lived without it for so long. Other propane fire pits might as well just give up now…

Amazing! Outstanding product, superior craftsmanship, and it’s backed with some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I own both the R1 and the R4 MKII. I couldn’t be more pleased with howl. They have truly gone the extra mile.

I didn’t expect to love this portable fire pit as much as I do—but it completely exceeded my expectations. I gave it a test run on a cool Texas night, and the heat output was incredible—even at less than half power. It’s efficient, easy to use, and puts off a surprisingly strong, steady warmth. I’m already looking forward to bringing it on my next camping trip. Absolutely worth every penny! 🔥

Love the Howl gear! However the lanyard holding the cap for the propane port is made of rubber and It melted. I understand the need for the cap to be a playable material but the lanyard should be of a heat resistant material. Small diameter aircraft cable comes to mind.

Love the size and form factor. Been way too hot in Indiana to know how well it will heat but optimistic it will rock. Being a 4 year solo bonfire user with heat shields and all the add ons, I will definitely be a good comparison source for this market. Out camping every two weekends till November 7th weekend, so send me follow up in a couple of months. Used at land between lakes and wow it works so well. Super easy setup, killer flame, heats area well and is cool looking. Already see it as...

Loving my Howl firepit way more than I expected. I love a wood fire. The smell, the sound, the experience. But so far on a 2 week road trip I’ve chosen the Howl firepit pit every night instead of building a wood fire. It’s just so convenient. Start and stop whenever you want. No smoke, no embers. It’s great. And a huge thanks to the Howl crew for getting my firepit out in a hurry so I would have it for this trip.

Works great as advertised. I also got the mount but don’t have a picture. My mount is super tight and holds the unit on back of my truck fine. I could see where some users don’t latch it properly. Anyway Howl sent out an extra lock just to be on the safe side.

Have only just tested it. Had a small leak at the barcole valve that I had to fix which was a bummer. Excited to start using. Puts off excellent heat. Built like a tank

Truly exceptional. I had the pleasure of experiencing one a few time before I purchased, so I already knew it was tough, state of the art and put out kick-ass heat. So I got one for myself. Already used it a handful of time. Loveee it! 🙌🏻🤩 thx Howl 😎

I ordered this fire pit last minute for a camping trip and was blown away by both the product and the customer service. I reached out asking if I could pay for expedited shipping, and they got back to me right away and shipped it out immediately. Huge shoutout to the team for making that happen. The fire pit looked amazing and worked flawlessly. It added such a great atmosphere to our trip, and all my friends were seriously impressed. A couple of them even asked where they could get one.

The Howl has worked flawlessly since received. I have five propane fire pits and the Howl definitely puts out the most heat for amount of propane used. very efficient! Love it so much we use it at home and when camping. Also use for tailgate lunches while skiing. Thank you for making such a quality product.

Michael D.Verified
I've used a number of propane fire pits over the years, even a few popular. But, I kept going back to my old Amazon special the Outland Firebowl, the square one. While it was "warmer" than some of the "popular" brands, none of them were as warm as the Howl R1. But, the most important thing for me was the size versus the heat. The Howl R1 was amazingly small and I have a Jeep so, size and weight are very important. The R1 was exactly what I was looking for. I've only used it a couple of times, bu...

You cannot find a better built firepit. With that in mind I feel they are reasonably priced. I understand they are not for everybody. Their customer service is second to none in a world where you usually argue with a bot until you are frustrated, these people really care. In my picture it is so windy I had trouble getting a lighter to light. That would be my only gripe is I wish it had an igniter but it is likely because there is not one that you wouldn’t be replacing every year like your home b...

It’s a game changer. I’m a retired engineer that’s worked in design, production and quality. I’ve also worked in many machine and sheet metal shops. It’s a high quality, engineering marvel, conceived and made in America. It’s the real deal. Hats off to the inventor and craftsman. I only wish I invented it. Very nice. Thank you Howl.

The Howl R1 is no joke! It’s a serious, heat making machine. We have used it during a camping in PA, and as a quick heat source for an outdoor gathering at home. Looking forward to bringing it to the beach for the cool evenings, as well as several additional camping trips this summer. Quick to set up, and quick to pump out the heat. Great product!

I was disappointed with both my FireCan and my generic propane fire pit because unless I was right on top of it, I was always still cold. When I discovered the R4, I was super intrigued. The price is steep, but I am oh so in love with it. It's HOT, and the build quality is fantastic. Plus I love that I can support a small business. This was a fantastic investment in my camping comfort and I look forward to a lifetime of warmth from my Howl R4.

My company, Gone Mobile Vans, builds adventure vans. I’m a huge fire pit connoisseur. I’m super happy with the Howl H1. Compact, fits in my van, great flame and heat output. Best portable fire pit I’ve owned. Highly recommend.

Photo shows (almost) lowest setting. Higher settings do make much higher flames, but also more gas flow noise - low is perfect! Tried to connect it to the OEM BBQ gas outlet in our RV, but it did not deliver enough gas to create a satisfying flame. Connecting directly to a 20lb LPG bottle did the trick. Super high quality - worth the price!

It feels like a real fire! In flame only mode, it feels like a propane fire. (no warmth, lame) Then with the radiant heat turned on. It becomes immediately apparent how much better this unit is than a regular propane fire. It spits out radiant heat just like a real fire! Love it! We had a impromptu sit around the fire with my neighbors in the driveway the day my Howl came. So fun! oh, and LOVE that the Howl with a 20 pound tank takes up so much less space than the equivalent amount of wood.

Love this thing. Puts out a great flame and warmth. It’s solid, built like brick sh*thouse is what my dad would say about it. Plus it’s super compact and convenient for those times I can’t or don’t want to build a wood burning campfire.

Really impressed with the build quality and I’m excited for years of sitting around this thing in some of the most beautiful places. Also, size matters and this packs into the 4Runner so much easier than my old lava rock filled round propane pit. Space is a premium on longer trips and this is exactly what I was looking for!

This little campfire did not disappoint! Kept us warm and kept our boys happy making s'mores! If you're on the fence about it just do it. We love how easily it is to store in the trailer when traveling as well.

I opened up the box, connected the propane bottle and it fired right up! The weather was very gloomy with low clouds, some rain mixed with snow and wind…PERFECT conditions for my R4’s first experience! It performed like a champ and I can’t wait to toss it in my raft for multi-day rafting/camping trips.

Had the ammo can style and was never really impressed with the heat output. Had to be close to feel the heat but not with the Howl. This thing is awesome and is exactly what I was looking for on cool desert nights and burn ban season out here in the southwest. Very pleased with the R1

I recently had the opportunity to test the R1 heater in some extremely windy conditions, and I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. It outshined many other heaters I’ve used in the past, providing consistent warmth even when the elements were against me. What truly impressed me was the build quality of the R1. It feels incredibly sturdy and well-engineered, which gives me confidence that it can withstand various outdoor conditions. As a The attention to detail in its construction is evi...

After using the Howl R1 Campfire on multiple trips with my 4Runner, I can confidently say this is hands-down one of the best portable fire pits on the market. Compact but Mighty – The size is perfect. It packs down small enough to fit easily into my limited cargo space, which is always a premium when loading up the rig. Setup and teardown take less than a minute—no awkward legs or bulky pieces to fumble with. It’s truly grab-and-go simplicity, which I really appreciate after a long trail day. ...

Howl is a complete game-changer for outdoor camping and keeping you warm — I’ve used it for hunting all season long (snow and rain), allowing us to get warm while making dinner out of the truck. As it warms up after a few minutes, it puts out some serious heat. We've also used it at the house for roasting marshmallows with the kids. No smoke, all the heat. It's nice to not have to worry about wood. Also, using the strap allows you to secure it to the propane tank while in transport. 🔥

Took it out on the inaugural trip with my new toy hauler on a three state mountain bike trip. Loved it. Being from the West, the ability to use it during a burn ban is huge. Five stars.
