Feel like I've seen every review for the Ignik Firecans. This is by far the best review. I love that you showed all sorts of accessories outside of just what the manufacturer offers.Awesome video!
Hey 👋 thanks so much! We like camping and gadgets and figuring out ways to modify and use our gear to meet our needs. Also I normally buy our camping gear when there are seasonal sales. I just saw today that there is a sale on the fire cans over on the IGNIK website if you are looking for something.
You did an amazing job on this....perfect views mixed with perfect dialog...accurate descriptions and insights and tips....useful accessories. I wish everyone had the skill you show here. Big thank you!
Thanks for the nice comment. We like camping stuff and I hope our videos can encourage others to get out and enjoy adventuring. I’m new to the whole making videos and finding time to create new ones. My intention is to get some more videos done soon so please subscribe and tune in often. Is there anyone you would be interested in seeing a review for? If it’s something I have in our camping stuff I’ll try to put one together for ya!
This is by far the best ignik firecan video that's out there. Very informative and answered all my questions. Now I know which one to go with. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful! Which will you choose??
@@WhyWeLikeIt going with the Elite. Although it looks like that is my only option here in Canada :D
@@doghousexpeditions Oh yea, you are right the ELITE was created to meet Canada's safety standards and regulations! I am in the USA and have all 3 but the one I carry with me and use the most is the ELITE! I recommend adding some lava rocks or the light weight moon rocks that Ignik sells to give it more of a natural flame look. I think you are going to enjoy it! I also have a video I created just for the ELITE as well if you have not seen it go check it out.
@@WhyWeLikeIt awesome, I will check that out as well. Thanks again!!
I like the camera work and the pace of the commentary. Please make more outdoors-y gear reviews like this. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks so much! I will be making more soon for sure. Anything in particular you have interest in? If I have it I’ll make a video on it for ya!
Great overview of these
Hey @BackcountryRenegade thanks for the comment. Hopefully the video can help others decide if and which firecan is right for them!
Ordered my Dmada Bag, thanx for sharing the info.
How awesome, thanks for letting us know! What firecan do you have?? The Dmada stuff is made really well, you are gonna be glad you got it, I had some other smaller bags made at the same time I got my firecan bag. I keep straps and stuff in the back of the car in the other bags. We love our firecan bag. Currently I have the Elite Firecan in the Dmada bag and because I have lava rocks in the Elite I keep the propane hose and a long lighter in the front zip pouch. That also keeps the hose from getting any dirt on it too.
I opted for little red fire pit but I like this too!
Awesome those Little Red Fire Pits look great too. If you ever get a chance, make a video. I’d love to see it and get your take on it.
Great work! Subscribed and looking forward to new reviews. Love the griddle idea !!
Thanks so much! I’m actually out working on some new reviews TODAY!!! Keep an eye out for them to drop over the next couple days!
I’d really like to order the Dmada bag but will search for a more economical option first. I see the bags are now shipping with side carry handles, a nice touch. Your videos are super well done. I settled on the elite model ,mainly for a bit cleaner burning flame.
A more economical case may be the tackle box bag in the video from Walmart and Ozark Trail. I think I paid 22 dollars through Walmart. I did some research for you and the Ozark Trail bag holds 3 3600 clear tackle boxes so if you want something similar in size do a search for a tackle bag that holds 3 clear 3600 tackle boxes!! You should be able to find something from 25 to 60 dollars. Another option would be look for something that holds an ammo can!!
@WhyWeLikeIt Yes, I started looking a bit since Walmart shows the bag as "out of stock". So it appears there will be several options .
Yes I think they updated it, there are a lot of cool options on amazon and google! Good luck! Make a video about what you end up going with!!
Awesome overview. I’ve had my original Ignik Firecan Original for almost 2 years now and love it. Best of all I got a screaming deal on it at REI for 50% off. As much as I’d like to upgrade to one of the better (newer) firecans I just can’t justify the price since I got a great deal on mine.
Thanks for the comment! Yea the original firecan is fantastic and it is awesome you got it at such a great price, you really lucked out. No need to upgrade if what you got works! I have modified my original firecan to output more flame by adding a larger gas orfice🔥. (Maybe I need to make a video about how to do the modification)
This was an awesome video! Subbed!!!
Thanks for the sub!
Great review. Thank you!
@JGr3asy Thanks for watching and commenting! What firepits do you like or use? I’m always interested to learn from others what they like and find useful.
Liked and subscribed. Good video. To the point, highlight the important bits, no dillydallying. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind sentiments. We really do like our FIRECANS we use them throughout the year when camping, visiting, friends, and now, as it gets colder when we head out to Overlanding events.
Thank you. I appreciate the tips and recommendations. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! I use the firecans ALOT! Backyard get togethers, camp trips, cook outs. Haha I even just made popcorn on the firecan and did a UA-cam Short about it!
Great Video Jason!
Thanks so much!! I love having and showcasing your custom DMADA Firecan bag!!
Nice review, thanks.
Thanks for watching! In the colder season we use our firecans for tailgating, hanging out with neighbors, camping and just sitting outside on the patio. What will you use your firecan for?? Which do you like the most?
@@WhyWeLikeIt I am installing a diesel heater in my van this week as it is getting cold where I am camped now. I am retired and traveling the US in my van full time. I can see how these can be handy for people but I would not have room for one as all my storage spaces are full.
@@OverlandOne diesel heaters are fantastic. Please post a video of how you install it. I’d love to see how you did it and your thoughts on it.
@@WhyWeLikeIt Well, to begin with, I'm actually not installing it per se.
I've got a lot of flammable things in my floor and in the walls since it's a conversion van. Since it will be outside,all the carbon monxide and high heat exhaust will be outside. If it bursts into flames, it's outside. I'm just drilling a 3 inch hole In the side of my Van and installing a port where I can attach a 3" heat hose to pump the heat in and also installing an outside 12 V socket that I can plug in to power it. Then, when I'm not using it, I can unplug it, unplug the hose and drag it all inside the Van. I'm also using a small lean to that will cover it from the elements because these are not waterproof and there are electronics involved. Later down the road, if this works well and I can save up some money, I'm gonna buy a large plastic bin that I can mount on the side of my Van that I've seen some Jeep people do and install it in there and then all I need to do is hook up the hose when I park to camp wherever I am. I think that's the best of all worlds. But for now, just quick and dirty, since it's coming down into the teens in a few days, I'm just gonna set it outside and pipe the heat in and see what happens. I can keep you posted though.
@@OverlandOne sounds like it’s going to be a great project! Can’t wait to hear more about it! Good luck!
I like it....
Thanks for the comment. I have done some mods to the original version of the firecan (this is not seen in the video - the original firecan in the video is stock condition) I found that the original firecan has a swappable gas jet inside the back of the quick disconnect. I was able to buy on Amazon a gas jet orifice kit ( www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1D52V4R?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share ) and I could get a much larger flame 🔥 by swapping out the gas jet!! I swapped it from the .86 original orifice to a 1.5 orifice to give a much higher gas output (please note - this will void any warranty on a product) I have also seen the same mod done by drilling out the original gas jet, but with the kit I could experiment with orifice sizes and return it to original operating conditions if I wanted to.
some reviews on AMZN cited the stainless steel sides of the Elite model warping under high heat, making it tough to get the lid back on. This seemed to happen especially when the wind blows the flame into contact with the sides. Is this something you noticed?
I am glad you brought that up because I have seen some slight bowing on my original and the Elite firecan from prolonged periods of full flames blowing to one side or when I am placing something on top to cook with and it is forcing flames through the sides. You may even see the bow in the video some. It has never affected the way it closes, other than maybe being a little snug. Seems to be something that can just straighten out easily if it would be an issue where it would not close. We use ours for extended periods about every other week for camping adventures and it has never got to a point where it would not close but I could see if its in extreme wind for several hours and flames are being directed into the metal for long periods of time it could distort the metal.
Can you actually feel the difference in heat output in the elite? I found when using it in colder nights my original fire can can't keep you warm at all
Hey 👋 thanks for the question! You are right the original FIRECAN is going to have a lesser flame and heat output. The Elite puts out a lot more BTUs so it’s much warmer plus the elite has a much cleaner flame.
Now I will say there is a hack if you have the original and want a bigger flame. You can swap out the gas jet for something with a bigger size jet. The original comes with a .86 and I upgraded my jet in the original FIRECAN to a 1.5 (the modded version is not in this video) - the only draw back with a modded original is that it will have some more soot because of the bigger gas jet to air ratio. But a very pretty orange flame.
I will also say the Elite because of its design there really is no soot so that’s a big plus. I keep the Elite in our Defender at all times with a 10lb propane tank. The original, I still use a lot but more for at home on the patio or hanging with neighbors.
(Find me on instagram if you want more info on the original FIRECAN mod)
Hey man.. do you have links for the cases? I just bought the elite, and I really like the idea of having a case for it. I’m in Canada and our Walmart app doesn’t have that tackle bag 🫤
Hey Matt, I got my custom bag from www.dmadacreative.com they ship to Canada and if you want to chat with the owner you can email him at adam@dmadacreative.com
Niiiice. Don't really get why deluxe has 2 plugins. Less flame is better for grilling?
Hey 👋 Matt, the Deluxe has two because one side is for cooking and one is for firepit mode. Cooking side has a large adjustable air intake, this so the cooking side can get airflow and a blue flame for direct grilling over the flame. Orange flames put off a lot of soot and is not safe to eat when direct cooking.
Also you can cook on any of the firecans if you are using cookware like pots or griddles where the food is not directly coming in contact with the flame 🔥.
Thank you. Can't even roast a hotdog on a stick when I'm fire pit mode?
@@MattCookOregon I guess you could. I cook just about anything over them. So it’s your preference I would think in the end.
@@WhyWeLikeIt Helpful replies thank you. Think I am going for the original.
If ONLY IGNIK would sell just the bag for the 5lb tank that I already have...
Today is your lucky 🍀 day! They do sell just the bag (and it comes with a hose) ignik.com/collections/shop-all/products/growler-case-hose?variant=43174832013538
@@WhyWeLikeIt Does that hose connect to a standard 3/8" male flare fitting? I can't tell by any images. In other words, does the hose have a female 3/8" flare to couple with my 3/8" male flare fitting. I do think the rack and cast iron griddle are the way to cook on the IGNIK or any home built ammo can. Just need to drill some good size holes on the sides of the can for air flow. Thanks for the links!
The hose connects any propane tank (5LB, 10LB, 20LB, etc - not the green 1 pound cans) to a camp stove or any fitting that normally takes a 1 LB green propane can. So example " a buddy heater" this way you can use a refillable tank on your camp stoves and equipment. The hose is 4 feet long with a QCC1 Type-1 adapter. We use ours on every trip! @@Van_Liberty
Looks Like the original would be the best or do you think the elite ?
I’m just asking, is hi on the elite to high ? Also, do you think there will be problems with the thermocouple?
Great question Adam! I really do think the original checks every box if you don’t need to have a direct grilling insert (and you have seen that with a griddle or a pan you can cook just fine on top of the original or the elite. I have put the original through its paces for sure and love the black finish on it. The original will produce alittle soot from time to time (nothing that a quick wipe out with a rag does not clean up) the elite is 3 pounds lighter if weight is an issue. I love the regulator that comes with the original, it has a lot of adjustment. But I do love the elite because of its look. No matter which you go with I would also recommend looking for sales like Ignik.com had for Labor Day. The Elite was on sale for $185 and the original for $150!
@@WhyWeLikeIt Thank You
@@Adam_Newman good questions. I can’t speak on the thermocouple but I’ll say the Ignik customer service have been very helpful when I had a regulator issue.
And I really like the bigger clean flame on the elite. I think my favorite go to currently is the elite. I just for a set of moon rocks for it!!
@@Adam_Newman hey, I wanted to let you know about something I found out recently. I added the moon rocks, ( you can add really any type of lava rock) to my elite, and it really made the flames a lot more natural because the gases had to go up around the rocks. You may want to try something like this.
