Bought it as a gift and they love it. I was actually able to see it in action and I think it’s a game changer for camping.. lm planning on purchasing one for myself great product!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I truly love our Howl Campfire. It’s one of those purchases that instantly elevates every outdoor evening. The flame is beautiful and cozy, the heat is impressive, and there’s no smoke — which alone makes it a game-changer. We can actually sit around it, talk, linger, and enjoy the moment without smelling like a bonfire afterward. The design is incredibly well done — solid, thoughtfully engineered, and clearly built to last. It feels substantial and high-quality, not flimsy or gimmick...

The bag is perfect. I questioned myself if it was an accessory that I really needed and it just helps ensure take care of your equipment when you throw it in the back of the truck going down a dirt road. It feels so well built and worth the price. The stitching is immaculate. I also love the hose compact area!

The Howl R1 Campfire is shockingly good — real heat, real flame, zero drama. Fast setup, no smoke, and it turns any campsite or backyard into an instant vibe. Small footprint, big fire energy. Heirloom quality.

I needed a fire for when I get up in the morning out of our tent, freezing. This R4 immediately produces the heat needed for my whole body to warm up with a cup of coffee. At night going into stargazer mode is a treat. The HOWL R1d and R4 are great looking units to add to our visual pleasure. It makes camping much more enjoyable. I was going back and forth with the purchase and ending up purchasing the R1 and R4 during the combination special. Happy I did. Thanks, Nice job!!!!!

It was a interesting process following the development from very close to the start of it all. It was worth the wait. I does everything It says it will. Thank you for pushing through and building a excellent product.

I just received it, so I e only tried it once so far. Very small/compact and fits in my Decked drawer system allowing me to take it with me all the time. It does kick out some heat. Very excited for using it more often.

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet because it’s summertime but as soon as I do, I will let you guys know, but I’m happy to get it looks awesome

Bad ass! I must admit that I love the crackle and warmth of a wood-burning fire. But if practicality or fire restrictions don't allow it, there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, that compares to the Howl R4 for gas-powered warmth and bad assery. Super happy I made the investment.

I’ve only had the opportunity to use it twice so far but the selling points to the R1 are exactly as advertised. So portable and so light!!! It does give off more heat than I expected and it has been the center point of conversation around the campfire. I already have a friend of mine ordering one. I really love the R1!!!! No regrets with this purchase at all. I’m a HOWL Fan for life Awoooo!!!!!

It’s super well made, doesn’t look like a normal campfire stove/fire pit. Puts out a great radius of heat unlike any other similar product. I've been using it on my patio for a few nights, amazing heater !! Looking forward to bringing it on a camping trip in the high desert at the end of the month.

Hey guys, So the first night we camped with it I only turned the red controller twice to open it for the propane. The flames were low and the pipes were only red for about a inch. I was a little bummed. The second night I opened the red co roller all the way and wow. The flames were much higher and the red on the pipes went all the way. I am so impressed with this fire pit that I gave my old round one to a friend and returning my smokeless fire pit also. They say you get what you pay for this is...

I liked it so much, I bought it before I bought my R1. R1 has now been ordered, and I will post pics when I put it all to work.

Talk about a monster in a box! The unit is a beautiful! Compact, powerful, and well made! Definitely worth the money! A great add on to my overlanding rig.

I’d seen a bunch of videos and posts about the Howl R1 and they all looked solid—now I can confirm it. The R1 is super easy to use, feels overbuilt in the best way, and for the “small” campfire it puts out a surprising amount of heat. I’m in Southern California and don’t camp in snow; our coldest nights are usually in the low 40s, and the R1 has worked really well for that. If I were winter camping or sitting out in snow, I’d step up to the bigger model, but for mild-to-cool nights this thing is...

Haven’t used it in the field yet but seems great in the backyard so far. Build quality is what I was hoping for with the price and heat seems good from what I was expecting as well

This is the most amazing little fire box I’ve ever owned. Nothing comes even close to the amount of heat if generates. I’ve only needed to use it on low setting with that I’m on a few days with still an almost full 30 gal tank. No brainer for at home or on the road this Howl is a must.

So I waited a bit before adding my review just to give a thorough test. I purchased fall of 2024 and now spring of 2025 when the temps warm up and I won't be needing it (as much) I can tell you it is a game changer. My perpetually cold wife (just temperature guys...) loves the heat that comes of the HOWL and the fact we can lower or turn off the flame to enjoy the stars and STILL have heat is one of the most awesome things. This thing is well built but light enough to carry around easily. I ...

I took it out of the box, hooked it to propane, and lit it up. Impressive flame for such a small unit. It looks like it's crafted out of quality materials. Overall design seems to be well thought out. I'm impressed so far.

Awesome fire pit! So light and portable and throws a great flame. I only wish the R1 had the BarCoal feature for radiant heat like the R4, then it would truly be perfect!

This thing works beyond expectations. It's used in a group setting and everyone loves it. We used to have a regular wood fire, and everyone smelled like smoke that no longer happens. It puts off an ambient light and ready to heat. I think better than the old wood bar.

I only just received it, after returning from a Moab trip. I do love the look, color, gauge!, and seemingly slightly less weight. I intend to get it filled over the next week, and then begin using it on my back deck with my R4 MKii. If I’m disciplined enough..I will time the total burn time with a standard bottle, and then with the Howl EnduroTank! Don. Ridgway, CO

I was looking for a campfire unit with a small footprint. I looked into the amo can style and the Howl caught my eye. I appreciate the company being local and using American made materials. Employing local folks with jobs and making a product you can clearly see they put thought, care and love into. I received my Howl and had to call the neighbors over for beers and a fire that night. I live in Fairplay CO and most of the time the town is on a fire ban. But with the Howl we can gather and still...

Beautiful design. heavy duty for sure. I just was expecting a little more heat out of it, especially with the side burners. Update: After using the unit over a long evening, I feel that I really didn't give it enough time to really heat up. Had some friends over for happy hour and ran it on my back patio for hours. It ended up being nice and toasty and really was fun to prolong the evening with an awesome looking and working machine. At one point I reached down to scratch my shin and noticed ho...

I have been looking for a high-performing, reliable, and durable fire pit to take on our camping adventures. After receiving the Howl R1 and Haul bag, I am extremely pleased with the build and quality of the fire output. Looking forward to many memories with this setup!

It’s mid February. Got it in December. I’ve gone 60 lbs of propane so far. I’ve sat for hours and stared at it looking for ways on how could this amazing pit could be improved. I gave up, and I just simply enjoyed it. I’m already thinking that having only is none, and two is one. I have 4 other distinct designs of portable pits, and this season, they’ve seen zero use since this beast arrived. This one has gone everywhere with me, and it’s a looker too. If you love outdoors, this is outdoors. Can...

I got the Howl for my husbands birthday and he (& we) love it! It is so light weight & portable and has a massive flame. We are are both equally impressed with the heat the howl gives off as well. Highly recommend :).

Fired it up for the first time and all I can say is WOW! This thing puts out the BTU’s! Had it at my RV park in FL. We are snowbirds and had a few friends over. Everything advertised is true…solid construction, small footprint, instant lighting….you can’t go wrong.

Jesse H.Verified
Was searching for portable propane fire pits, and came across this company. Made Right here in Colorado so I thought I’d give them a try. There’s a lot of times when open burning is banned in Colorado due to dry conditions in the summer and I wanted something to throw in my truck camper. So this fit the Bill, i was hesitant at first for how expensive it was, but I am really surprised with the size of flame It puts out and the amount of heat for its size, I’m happy with it overall and it will be ...

Darn expensive for a bag, but like the R1, high quality and worth it. You won't remember the cc bill, but you will love the gear every time you use it, so just go ahead and buy it. Good gear, good company, and it appears, good people. What's not to like?

Excellent. It was surprising how much light the top burner puts out. Makes for nice ambiance. No heat of the back (valve) end but that's not too limiting. I think I sold two units to the crowd I showed it to!

I love this thing. Going from an ammo can fire pit, which is really just for show, this thing totally changes the game. It is super functional from a heating perspective, and the thing is stout - bullet proof. Great job!

I was dumb thinking this was for the R4 that I ordered (I didn’t read the info closely enough enough when they were on sale in November). It was delivered recently and I guess I will also need to get a R1. I would be interested in a bag for the bigger unit as well possibly. Great construction

Tank is super light, smooth and dont have to worry about it rusting. It's also a better shape so I can store it in my vehicle in a more efficient way.

This little guy puts out some heat. It was a cold night and morning. We only had to turn the flame halfway up.

I love tools that are built well so they can do their jobs well. The R1 is solid and just works. It's so quick and easy to set up, use, and put away safely. We spend more time just in our BACKYARD watching the night sky, talking and listening to music together. Looking forward to using it at the beach and in the backcountry. Well done, Howl!

This thing goes everywhere I go! Whiskey Wednesdays and Fire-pit Fridays are a regular on my calendar. Easy to setup and is perfect for cool to cold nights. Small package means I can store it easily. Takes a few minutes to cool down, because it puts off good heat, even on low.

Great Company! I’ve had my Howl R1 for a little over a year and absolutely love it. I wanted to get the sticker pack to rep the brand more. Howl is top notch, no comparison.

Amazing piece of kit. The engineering and craftsmanship are incredible. USA! Warmest gas stove I've ever experienced. I'll be back for a second unit. You guys should add a cover/case, strap and replacement parts to the lineup for the future. But, WELL DONE and I'll be back for more.
