Howl R1 Portable Fire Pit
Bring a real campfire experience without hauling a bulky fire pit. The Howl R1 Portable Fire Pit combines up to 32-inch propane flames, a shoebox-sized folded footprint, folding Gullwing legs, and highly efficient A-Flame burner technology in a compact fire pit built for overlanding, camping, vans, RVs, and tightly packed adventure rigs.
Built for multi-day trips where cargo space and fuel efficiency matter, the R1 folds down to just 13.275" x 8.43" x 6.05". At camp, the Gullwing legs fold out to create a stable stance while Howl's proprietary A-Flame burner uses 160 precision micro-emitters to create tall, exposed flames without burying the fire inside a conventional box or bowl.
An infinitely adjustable pressure regulator lets you dial the flame to match the campsite, with flames reaching up to 32 inches in calm air. At full output, Howl rates the R1 for approximately 8 hours of burn time from a 20 lb. propane tank.
Fire Restriction Use: The R1 is a UL-certified propane campfire designed for use during Stage I and Stage II fire restrictions where gas appliances are permitted. Fire restrictions and appliance requirements vary by jurisdiction and conditions. Always check current local regulations before use.
Up to 32" Flames • Shoebox-Sized When Folded • A-Flame Burner • Folding Gullwing Legs • UL-Certified Propane Campfire
Key Features
- Highly Portable Design: Folds down to approximately the size of a shoebox for storage in packed vehicles, drawers, RV compartments, vans, cargo boxes, and other compact spaces.
- Up to 32-Inch Flames: Produces tall, visible flames in calm-air conditions for a campfire-style experience from a compact propane appliance.
- A-Flame Burner Technology: Uses 160 precision micro-emitters to create numerous small flames that combine into a taller flame pattern.
- Exposed Flame Design: Unlike deep box- or bowl-style fire pits, the R1 keeps the flame visible instead of requiring additional fuel simply to raise it above surrounding walls.
- FlexDome Windscreen: Howl's proprietary design helps keep the flame exposed and visible.
- Infinitely Adjustable Regulator: Fine-tune propane pressure and flame height to suit your campsite and fuel requirements.
- Efficient Propane Operation: Rated for approximately 8 hours of operation at full output using a 20 lb. propane tank.
- Folding Gullwing Legs: Fold outward for a stable stance at camp and inward for compact transportation and storage.
- Premium Metal Construction: Built from 304 stainless steel, aircraft aluminum, and brass.
- No Wood-Fire Embers or Sparks: Propane operation eliminates the flying embers and sparks associated with a traditional wood campfire.
- Made in Colorado: Howl states that design, fabrication, cutting, press-braking, assembly, testing, and packaging are completed in Colorado.
A Big Flame in a Small Package
The R1 is designed around one of the biggest challenges of vehicle-based camping: cargo space. With its legs folded, the fire pit measures just 13.275" x 8.43" x 6.05", making it approximately the size of a shoebox.
That compact footprint allows the R1 to fit into storage systems such as vehicle drawers, RV cubbies, van garages, Aluboxes, rooftop cargo carriers, and other spaces where a conventional propane fire pit may be too bulky.
Once you reach camp, simply deploy the folding Gullwing legs to transition the R1 from its compact storage configuration to a freestanding campfire.
Howl A-Flame Burner Technology
At the center of the R1 is Howl's proprietary A-Flame burner. The burner uses 160 precision micro-emitters to produce individual small flames that combine into a taller overall flame pattern.
The R1 also avoids surrounding the burner with tall box or bowl walls. Keeping the flames exposed means you don't need to increase the output simply to make the flame visible above the fire pit enclosure.
In calm conditions, the R1 can produce flames reaching up to 32 inches high.
Adjustable Flame & Fuel Use
The included pressure regulator is infinitely adjustable, allowing you to control the flame based on the amount of heat, light, atmosphere, and fuel consumption you want at camp.
- Full Output: Approximately 8 hours from a 20 lb. propane tank
- Adjustable Output: Reduce propane flow when maximum flame height isn't required
- Recommended Tank Sizes: 10 lb., 11 lb., or 20 lb. propane tanks
Your preferred propane tank size can be selected based on available vehicle storage space, trip duration, and access to fuel resupply.
Built for Fire-Restriction Conditions Where Permitted
The Howl R1 provides a propane alternative to a traditional wood campfire. Because it does not burn wood, it does not produce the smoke, flying embers, or sparks associated with a conventional wood fire.
Howl identifies the R1 as a UL-certified propane campfire that can be used during Stage I and Stage II fire restrictions where gas appliances are specifically allowed.
Important: “Burn ban approved” does not mean the R1 is legal during every burn ban or fire restriction. Restrictions vary by location, agency, fire danger, and current conditions. Always verify current local fire regulations and propane-appliance requirements before lighting the R1.
Durable Metal Construction
The R1 is constructed from materials selected for a portable outdoor fire appliance:
- 304 Stainless Steel
- Aircraft Aluminum
- Brass
Howl designs and builds the R1 in Colorado, with design, fabrication, cutting, press-braking, assembly, testing, and packaging performed in the USA.
