Just installed our R1 setup on the back of our van. Had to piece the mount and propane together from a few different vendors. This is our second HOWL . We also have the R4 … which is just too large for lugging around with the van. Can’t wait to road trip with the smaller R1! ☺️

I did a lot of research for small, portable propane fire pit. Reviews for R1 bar non I felt this was the best option for me. Now that I have it I couldn’t have done better. I love it!!!

It does indeed perform as advertised. It is somewhat a heavy drinker though…With medium settings and 4 nights of use (aprox. 2 to 3 hours each night) it pretty much wiped out a full 20 pound cylinder. Still impressed with this little gem and looking forward to using it again soon.

We just received our R4 and tried it out at at the deer lease over the weekend. Love it! It will be perfect when its windy and dry, which is most of time here southern NM and west Texas!

We are loving the Howl R1. It’s built like a tank, throws off huge flames if you want it to or you can turn it down to a reasonable height and save fuel. It puts off a decent amount of heat as well. Best thing ever.!

My buddy has an ammo can fire pit which worked but wasn’t it. The howl feels like a real campfire you get the heat and flames like a traditional wood fire.

I took it antelope hunting this Weeknd and used it for the first time. It did great in the wind and everyone was impressed and pretty sure you'll get at least one new order. My only comment is I was surprised at how black and sooty it got after using it. Not an issue at all, just didn't expect that from burning propane.

Great little fire pit! It produces an exceptional amount of heat for such a small object. Everyone on our Easter weekend camp trip was very impressed! Added bonus of being very compact and lightweight! If the R4 wasn't so dang expensive I'd order that one up too! Keep it up guys you literally have the best product in this market 👍👍

Absolutely love it! I have always been a wood fire only kinda guy due to gas fire pits being all looks and no heat. The howl R4 is an absolute beast that keeps us outside well into the night. The term “thigh melting heat” is no joke. Worth the price without question. Burn bans are more and more common, having a safe and effective heat source like this is truly a game changer.

The heat presented by the R4 was fantastic. Being able to come out and sit in the morning to a nice fire without having to worry about fire closures in the area is great.

Apologies for this delayed review. I received my R4 MKii in February shortly before a Moab trip. I tested the Howl in my driveway before departing, and all was good. Thank you to the Howl crew for quickly shipping my R4!! For my trip I decided to pair the R4 with several accessories. During use I decided I wanted it a bit higher off the ground. I am using it with a CampChef Lumberjack 18” x 36” “Over Fire Grill” with folding legs. This raises it up 8” allowing you to safely snuggle up clos...

When burn bans and fire danger are on or hoa’s shut camp fires down. The howl r1 quells my need for flame. Well done folks. Packs easy and light it’s a thing of beauty.

We took our brand new Howl to Stanley Lake this week. The Sawtooth National Forest is under a Stage 1 Fire Restriction, fires only in fire rings or propane fueled that can be turned off. We tested and learned our Howl the afternoon of our first day. Our first morning was a bit chilly, so we fired the unit and had breakfast by it. Loved it! It took the chill off while providing a similar experience to a wood fire but without the hassle. T&C

The Howl R4 redefines the propane firepit. This is a 1200 degree 'furnace' that you can huck into your truck. Check out the details on the website and pull the trigger. If you are an overlander, off-grid-er, hunter, or just out in the elements - this isn't a luxury item. This is your survival tool and it is built for all the weather you can throw at it.

First trip using the Howl. Solid build and functions as described. Great alternative to wood fires in Colorado. Really appreciate how easy it is to enjoy on demand fire. Love supporting Made in USA and Colorado companies!

While others were burning wood and smoking us out, the howl is odorless and provided the ease of lighting a fire and drying our wet clothes without the flames when turned off.

We are trailer campers in CO. When you can’t burn wood, which is fairly common in a high desert environment, you need a gas fire pit. The Howl fire pit blows “regular” fire pits away. Great heat, great flame, and none of that lava rock dust and PITA. Highly recommended!

David M.Verified

This little thing is pretty sweet. If you’re looking for max warmth on a hunting trip I would go with the big one. The R1 is perfect for ambiance and heat on a cool night. I was skeptical of the flame height and happily proven wrong. Great size, great addition to my gear kit.

Gregory P.Verified

Just the right size for portability and very easy to set up and use. My R-1 model that I purchased gives off nice heat for a small gathering of people. I’m using it here on my back patio but, in just a few minutes I can I have it disconnected from the propane tank, packed up and loaded in my camper.

Thaddeus G.Verified

Great propane fire! Nice flames and very good heat. Had some difficulty hooking up to my tank, connection was very leaky. Tried reconnecting four time, all leaked-sometunes bad leaks. I reconnected the tank to my old cheesy fire pit and had no leaks. Then I reconnected to the Howl and had no leaks. I don't know what the problem was. This is my new three season fire. Thanks Howl!

This is a great product. Is it worth the cost? It depends...do you want to actually feel warm sitting next to the fire? If so, then it is worth it. You cant beat a real wood fire, but the necessary burn bans really limit the options through the summer months. I did a side-by-side comparison of a real fire, a traditional propane fire, and the Howl R1 sharing my thoughts on the value of Howl. https://youtu.be/KGKGxDJ2jF8

Small but mighty portable fire pit. Super easy to operate and definitely put out the heat. I’m excited to test it up in the mountains when it’s actually cold, not these warm LA nights.

Mark H.Verified

Love the Howl. I could get up in the morning and have immediate warmth just by firing up the Howl. I’ve had 6 small “campfires” with it and still haven’t emptied the 20lb tank.

J M.Verified

This thing is incredible! I love to use it on my porch after a long week of work. The fact that it doesn't get hot underneath is so nice! I can use it on almost any surface without worry! Im stoked for the R4. I just wish they tossed in a few more stickers😉😉

Donald J.Verified

So glad that I got the R4. It put out a lot of heat. We actually turned it down with how much heat it was producing. Everyone really enjoyed it and how well it is built.

I have only used it twice but I can tell you it’s going to be a game changer where I need a smaller version! Thanks for building the perfect overland fireplace! James Staats

Tony W.Verified

Seems to fit the bill for size, functionality, craftsmanship and cool looks! 😁 I won't lament the cost since nobody twisted my arm ...but it's definitely the only one in the lineup I could afford. Hopefully, it holds up to the rigors I put stuff through in my cross-country travels! It certainly feels sturdy enough.

I brought this campfire to a Vanlife meetup and it was the biggest hit! We had a warm, welcoming spot for everyone to come hang out and it was perfect for chilly desert nights in New Mexico. I seriously can't wait to use this year round and continue to offer a space for people to meet and converse and stay warm and toasty.

Arrived on the day of my hernia surgery, you know, the one where you are not supposed to lift more than a tennis shoe for a month…. Had my daughter tear into the package just so I could check it out. This thing is built like a tank. It’s so well made. Fun fact, pretty sure this is the only time the wife will allow it on our dining room table. LOL. 😆 hey, it’s my motivation. My goal is to set it up for a Christmas fire session. Will update with first forecast pics. Thanks for the BF sale. I ha...

The mount works great in the smart cap. I mounted it to the side of the drawer insert. That is an unused space, so it’s nice to be able to put something there!

This was a Christmas present that we just had to open early. Absolutely no regrets. A purchase that will last a lifetime time. This is a price that will be with us on every adventure!

So far I’ve just been able to use it in the backyard, but it’s simple to use, kicks out some heat and campfires are good for the soul. Can’t wait for some adventures with it.

We love our new Howl R4! The foldable legs make it feel a lot more portable than the original version and it puts out tons of heat. We also use it on our patio when we aren’t traveling. It’s a game changer!

I have a severly customized Earthcruiser overland truck. #94 fx, last one they made. I am set up for long durations of survival an comfortable living. This is a small truck and every sq inch is worth a mint. I bring along a propane firepit as its nice to have and don't end up smoking out the truck wen wind changes, clothes don't smell like smoke, don't have to put it out with water, simply off an go to bed. Previous fire pit was 5 x larger with messy lava rocks, round an wasted a lot of space. T...

Seriously can’t believe how warm this thing is! Saw it twice now at industry events and can’t wait to get one for myself. Hope they go on sale soon 🤞

I did quite a bit of research in my search for my fire box. This company was found I believe on instagram. Great company and phenomenal customer reviews. Now you have another happy customer. Absolutely a rad box!!

I absolutely love my Howl 1. It is such a simple design and so compact yet throws out a bunch of flames even in the evening winds. The only thing I wish is that I had it sooner!

Love this little guy! I know it’s the younger brother to the R4, but I was happily surprised with how hot it still got! No more mess and dealing with the bigger propane pits and rocks, etc. grab n go!

We love our Howl R1, perfect for chilly nights when you just want to chill by a fire with the family without the hastle of having to light up some wood.

David L.Verified

It took a lot to convince to move from a regular fire pit (which I still love when there are no burn bans) a propane fire pit but when I did decide to it was a no brainer. The Howl R1 is just so well made and does its job perfectly. The pit makes a beautiful flame and gives more heat than I thought it would. My girl loves it and that’s good enough for me! Only gripe was that I did have to tighten some of the fittings because I found 3 leaks. But that’s not enough to remove a star since in all fa...
