I just received it and haven’t been able to go camping yet. I may plug it in just to turn it on in my backyard just to see how it goes. I’m very excited at the possibilities that this brings for my camping experience living in Colorado as you know, we frequently have fire bands, so being able to have the campfire without the wood fire is an exciting prospect for me so far the R1 looks incredibly well-made is not very heavy and I’m excited to use it

It fired up flawlessly right out of the box and delivered a robust flame, exactly as advertised on your website. Can't wait to take it camping this summer, it will be the envy of the campsite!

From the moment I placed my order, the team was amazing! Reaching out to thank me for the order and to answer any questions. I asked if the order could be rushed to be able to receive it for our weekend camping trip and they took care of everything! We received it in time for our trip and we were able to use our new Howl in AZ Forrest on a no burn day with 25 mph winds! It worked perfectly and put off an amazing amount of heat! Highly recommend the Howl campfire and even more so, I highly recom...

Works just as advertised. I can’t wait to take it camping with me. I debated spending the money on it for some time, but that was a mistake. Wish I had gotten it sooner. I will be enjoying it for years to come while camping and at home.

Happened to time this just perfectly, it arrived two days before I (unknowingly) went camping in a Stage 2 burn ban area. I was literally the only person in the entire campground that had a fire at my site. Was great, threw off a surprising amount of heat, only complaint is that it will cook, but not brown, marshmallows.

It's not cheap, but it is unquestionably the best quality propane campfire I've ever seen and used. The fit and finish are excellent and it works really well. I use it often on my deck at home and love the ambience it gives, as well as the heat it puts off to cut the chill of the colder nights. It is not cheap, but I'm glad I forked out the dough. It is well worth it.

I absolutely love my R1. I bought the case for it which is also extremely well built. It allows me to take it anywhere. I use it in my garage, on my deck, camping and just chilling. No matter where I use it, It fires right up every time and provides great heat.

I love how compact and easy it is to carry around! Straps nicely against my mini propane tank. Easy to follow the steps in preparing with zero flaws, all lines were secured and ready for use! My favorite gear by far!

Gave my brand new R4 a test run for an hour today. Awesome product. Works as expected. Heats up quick. Looking forward to put it through its paces on camping trips.

Shipping was very Fast! But I don't live very far from where they build them. Build quality seems very high. Flame hight is as advertised. I will be using it alot this summer and fall. Will see how well it holds up.

This is the best propane fire pit I have used to-date. It is solidly built, works as advertised, puts out radiant heat, and is efficient for the performance. No argument, this fire pit is not cheap, but I don’t know of anything better as of this review. The manual didn’t mention the A-Flame metal cover plate will expand, but I observed this in Howl videos. And the manual suggested only three turns on the regulator, but this wasn’t enough to light the Barcoals, so I went a few more and it lighted...

I am extremely pleased with the ease of use and portability of this unit. I would have loved to see the bag be an option as an upgrade when buying. Felt blindsided by the sale after the fact. Otherwise a great unit and high quality! I foresee it being used for a very long time.

Derek P.Verified
Impressive build quality and clearly something where the team paid attention to every detail. Comical flame that can be generated from this unit. It’s a tough decision to decide between the R4 and R1 for trips now.

This as close to a campfire as you can get. The ambience of it was great. The Howl arrived just in time for my grandson's birthday camping trip he asked for. It worked out great for my Daughter and grandson who are both have allergy issues with a real wood fire. It kept 5 us warm in 21 degree weather. The price caused me to think about this purchase for awhile but after using the Howl I have recommended to others.

I have sparked it yet but the build quality and robustness far exceeds my expectations. It’s an industrial work of art and I have no doubt it will be an enduring gem and valued by generations

The R1 is awesome and perfect for burn ban areas. Easy to adjust flame height. And its compact size... about the size of a shoe box... fits anywhere. I love it!

Baby Howl is now unpacked and awaiting our next camping adventure. It will share a ride with its much loved bigger sibling. Loved the construction, packaging and finish of the baby Howl, no surprises, meets all of my expectations. Thanks again! Happy camping for all!

My wife and I just brought our R1 on a 8 day camping trip. I was a little concerned about it not pumping out enough heat but man was I wrong. Nice and tasty and I didn’t have to worry about the current burn bans in effect. I’m waiting on my R4 now to help once the snow starts. Great job team HOWL!

It is compact, high-quality, and great flame! I ordered a storage cube from REI that holds it perfectly!! That is the only thing that Howell could improve on is offering a nice storage cube for it.

Amazing job done to build such a beautiful fire pit! We tested our Howl in the backyard and loved the heat it produces. Camping season is approaching fast, can hardly wait to get this puppy out in the bush, thank you Howl!!

This thing has more horsepower than my truck. It sounds like a jet engine starting up. Pretty sure it’s hotter than one too. All the other reviews are 100% dead on balls accurate. Worth every penny.

Thanks howl for an awesome product! We’re using ours on the outer beaches of cape cod. No open fires allowed so this is perfect. A ranger drove up on us last week, ready to give us hell for having an open fire and it turned into a great chat about how much he wanted to get one. Thank you. Rock on!

This thing isn't cheap but that's the price you pay for quality. It like my yeti cooler. Buy it once and have it for life. When you get something that's built like a tank to last the elements, you aren't buying a new one very few years when it stop working. This thing rips and I love just using the bar coals to keep warm and still stargaze. It gives off just enough glow to see and keeps you nice and toasty while also conserving a lot of propane. When describing this, I basically tell people its...

Worth every penny, my wife and I love using it on our balcony. We have a small apartment and it’s the perfect size for us. Definitely look forward to buying the bigger one for our camping trips.

Have used it camping once. Super nice, convenient and easy to set up and gave a nice warm fire with a lot of light. More soot than expected but it was a bit breezy. Love the size, the convenience, the clear quality of the built. Great purchase.

Gabe D.Verified
This thing is fantastic, we were in the Eastern Sierras when a park ranger was driving around the dispersed camping area we set up in. We were the only ones with a campfire so he drove over to check out set up. He took one look and said “yep, you’re good”, then said he appreciated us being mindful of the fire restrictions by bringing a propane set up. The R1 itself is great, it puts out plenty of heat and light for a small group. Even when the wind picked up it stayed lit. With a 10 gallon pr...

We love it and used it on a trip just a few days ago. The size is great and the heat is amazing. The bag is constructed very well but it is not tall enough to fit both the Howl and the cord easily.

Purchased the Howl R1 with the intentions of taking this to Overland Expo East for the final show of the year. Used it for 4 days with a 20lb tank and had it running a few hours every night! Had multiple people stopping by to check it out, and running into the expo to find a distributor with one for themselves. One of the best investments made this year for camping.

Exactly as advertised. Bought it so we could have a camp fire in Texas with burn bans in place. Everyone was impressed with how great it works. Looking forward to using it for many trips to come.

I've been following you guys since way back in 2022, when Howl was just an idea—and now I finally have one in my hands! After three years of anticipation (and obsessively checking updates like it was my job), the wait was absolutely worth it. Living in Texas, I went with the R1. Yes, despite the rumors, it actually gets cold here. Windy desert nights don’t mess around. And let me tell you, this thing isn't just a campfire—it's a fire show. Flames that reach for the sky, and heat that makes yo...

I waited to review Howl R4 until after a couple of trips. The first trip was a week on the beach, with a constant onshore wind. With only 2 or 3 people around it, we mostly just had just the barcoals going, as the wind whipped the flame all around. It kept us toasty warm, and at this point, I brought up the only downside to my wife - the cost. Sitting in a damp, windy climate and being nice and warm made that discussion easy, and she agreed it was worth the cost. The second outing was in t...

Actually puts out heat. Wish top didn’t discolor but small gripe. Compared to the portability and convenience. Light weight and compact. Many camp grounds are not allowing wood fires now. So this is a great alternative. Other propane fire pits you almost have to sit on top of (joke don’t do it) to get warm.

One of the best made items I have purchased in a long time. Well thought out, quality, and just an all around essential piece for camping. Great to support another fully USA made product as well. Well done Howl.

It is small but impressive. I love how portable it is. The heat it produces is surprising, because of its size. It is sturdy and well made. I feel it will last up to the riggers of camping and traveling.

First time use! We were posted up near Sea World San Diego just about to watch some fireworks on the beach. Set up was quick, and the R1 is built with such great quality! Looking forward to colder months coming soon.

Searched for a portable propane fire that will work together with our new van and provide us with non limited warmth……….well, the R1 fits the bill perfectly. Easy to carry, use, and enjoy. Great product,

This thing put out great heat and have an amazing flame. Nice and compact, and super light to transport. Tried this in the backyard after receiving it and very happy with the purchase. Can't wait to take it camping. I would recommend this to anyone.

Been following Howl for a couple years now, and am finally pulling the trigger on a few products this year….namely the new R4 Mkii. Awesome to watch this small business grow and I can already tell from the accessories that I’ve bought that product quality is terrific!

Just came back from a multi day trip. Placed my order in November, was not delivered until February (!) The Howl was costly but so much worth it. Everyone stayed up and was toasty warm. Folding legs are a game changer. Easy to pack. Glad I went with the R4.

Super sweet flames! It's great that the flames sit above the unit, making it give off better heat that you can get comfortable from. I love how compact and portable the unit is. It is also very well-made, and I received it here before Christmas as promised.
