PORTABLE FOLDING CAMPING FIRE PIT & BBQ GRILL - ANY GOOD?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- I've been looking for a compact portable folding camping fire pit & BBQ/Grill to carry in the campervan and found this pop up fire pit which seemed to suit my needs perfectly. So is it a good buy and does it make my list of Top 10 campervan essentials? YES!
It comes in 2 sizes - Medium & Large.
Mine is a Large and cost £31 (including postage)

I'm not affiliated with anybody in relation to this item and I'm not paid to promote it. It's a piece of equipment I just bought for myself.
I've used it only once to demonstrate it for this video and look forward to using the fire pit more when camping and also the BBQ grill.
I'll feedback more as and when I use it.
It left just a tiny bit of ash in the base - I used the open lid as a base to catch this.
My first impression is that this is going to be an invaluable piece of equipment to carry in the van. It's reasonably priced, sturdy, compact and easily stored.
Only time will tell how well it lasts, but on first impressions it's a GOOD BUY and gets a big thumbs up from me 👍

Hi, I’m Sue from Lancashire, UK.
This channel is just me getting out and about in a converted VW Campervan, occasionally with friends but mostly solo. Fun, laughs, moans, groans, mistakes, and successes. It’ll all be in here!
I’ll share new places, hints, tips, any info I discover and whatever else I think you might find useful.
I’ve begun vlogging my solo travels in ‘Vanya’, to help me re-engage with life after losing my husband 2 years ago. Working through my grief has been the hardest & loneliest challenge imaginable. Some days it still knocks me completely sideways, maybe it always will? I really don't know, but I'm coping a little better all the time.
By returning to the vanlife we enjoyed so much together, revisiting a love of photography, and immersing myself in nature, I’m regaining strength, balance, and hope to move forward through this completely unforeseen next chapter of life.

PLEASE consider SUBSCRIBING - it costs nothing but makes a huge difference to the channel and shows valued support in joining me on many future adventures in my little van.

Brilliant Sue……very stylish to say it’s also so compact and portable.
Love it……hopefully we’ll be able to get it out on our travels soon xxx
Hope so Mo. Can’t wait 😊👍🏻 xx
Great unboxing and setup Sue, nice shout out to Ethel the Van! ♥️
It's a great bit of kit. Have to thank folk 👍❤
What a great bit of kit! Thanks for sharing Sue 🙂
It really does seem to be. Take care both xx
We bought something similar but haven’t used it yet. Hopefully we’ll be able to get it out soon. Thanks for sharing.
I think you'll like it. I do, and I plan on getting a lot of use out of it this year. Happy travels! 🚐 x
Oh I like the look of this!
Me too. So far so good 😊
That looks a neat bit of kit! Thanks for sharing x
A great bit of kit. Just what I was looking for 👍🏻 xx
Hi Sue. We have a similar unit. But doesnt have the bottom bit that goes on the ground so we put a saucepan or tray underneath with water in so it extinguishers any ashes that fall through. So doesn't burn the grass. Had it over 4 years now and still works great. We use mainly brickets as fuel. Easy to store in motorhome. Cheers from old George . Product is great.
Hi that’s good to know about the longevity of yours. I’m hoping for the same and lots of use of it. Take care, Sue 😊
That looks compact and well designed - we are never sure about the cleaning up and smell so interesting to see how you get on
Oh I love an open fire (when permitted). It’s one of my favourite parts of camping. I’ll be updating how I get on with it 😊👍🏻
That is super cool!
It certainly do seem to be. Love it 👍🏻
I just bought one of those. Have never used yet. Thank you!! The thing that drew me was the stainless case / ground base
I’ve used it lots since this video and love it 😊👍🏻
Nice how compact it is for storage 👍
Perfect size, weight, and surprisingly sturdy 👍🏻
Very compact Sue and looked very clean the morning after. Looking forward to some sausages off the barbi xx
Yes, it's new so I gave it a good wash the next morning! It cleans up well so will be low maintenance. Look forward to bringing it along on our trips xx
Hi Sue, I really enjoy watching your videos about your travels and thanks for putting up the "what three words" so helpful . I am hoping to get up that way next year .You give me the confidence to get up and go .
Hi Linda thanks for your comment it’s so great to hear that my videos help with your own confidence. There are a lot of us solo ladies out there in our vans and it’s a very supportive community of like-minded people. If I can help/advise in any way pls don’t hesitate to drop me an email. Happy travels to you. Get out there and enjoy! 🙌🏻🚐😊 Sue x
Hi Sue, well I did it. Sunday night my first wild camp on my own. Thought I'd b anxious but it was ace and I slept like a log. Shame I had to come back to mommy/wife and work.
Great news! It looked beautiful. No feeling like it is there. Love your little furry companion pup too 😍 Onwards! 😊 x
Beautifully filmed Sue. Makes us want to buy one. 🥰Looks to be a nice design. Look forward to seeing it out and about. So compact! Take care 😊🧙♂️
Hi, thanks I think it’s going to be a great addition to the ‘essentials’ 😊. Take care x
Hey
Iv got this fire pit, mines like half the size though. And I don’t have that metal try at the bottom. At least I don’t think I have.
I haven’t used it yet so thanks for showing me how to haha.
They do a medium and a large and mine is the large which seems just the right size. The tray at the bottom is the metal case it comes in. I just put it there to catch any ash there might have been (there was minimal). It's so easy to put together even I could do it 😊👍
Sue this looked absolutely brilliant. I liked how you opened it and in doing so it helped us to see the size of it. I thought it was sy compact and I'm guessing quite lightweight and easily portable and you got a good fire going in it. Great price too. Thanks for this demo, I loved it. Thanks :)
Glad it was helpful! Yes lightweight and portable and perfect for my campervan. Easy to clean the next day too. Big thumbs up from me on first use 👍👍
@CamperVanya (Solo Vanlife) That's great Sue . Went for a chimnea here at home but I would like one of yours to take camping ....👍
I have one of these in my basket on amazon glad I watched !!
Haha get it bought! 👍🏻
Hi Sue looks great very trendy. Nicely put together great little video always like your choice of music in your videos. Well done Sue hope you are keeping well. x
Hi Jane and thank you. I’m fine thanks how are you? Good I hope 😊 x
Very nicely put together! I was literally looking and checking online for similar items so your demo will help me to buy one. It will be an excellent company for a nice summer day/night tour. Best wishes, and Thank you for sharing!
You can’t beat an open fire can you 😊👍🏻🔥
Hi Sue. This looks like an interesting bit of kit. We can't get into the whole external gas bbq thing and don't want the extra weight it means, so this could be an alternative as it's compact and seems fairly light. Will be interested to see how it goes when you cook on it. Thanks for showing this. Cheers. George and Trish.
Hello both. We used to carry a lotus grill bbq in the motorhome but it’s too big for the campervan so I’ll use that at home now. Also I’ve been after a foldable combined fire pit/BBQ but didn’t like the price of most of them. I’ll be showing how I get on with it and hope to use it a lot this summer. Take care, Sue 😊
this looks good and compact, eady to use. nice share
A nice bit of kit for sure. Thanks for watching 😊
Looks good..let’s know how it is x
I will Jeanette, planning on get a lot of use out of this x
Very cool video Sue, it also cleans up very lovely too 😉😊 I wouldn’t mind buying one myself 😉😊
So far so good. I think it’s going to prove a good buy 🤞. Thanks for watching. ATB 😊
Morning Sue, 👋 looks a handy bit of kit, something we've been looking for too 👍 thanks for the info, hope you're all well now 😁 take care 🐭CMW
Hi Mouse! I’m fine now thanks, fully recovered. Got a lot of catching up on UA-cam to do. Hope all is well with you. I think this is a great addition to the van 👍🏻
@@CamperVanya glad to hear your back on form again, hopefully new adventures for you now the weathers getting better 😁 take care 🐭
@@CountryMouseWalks Yes, and the sooner the better 😊 x
Looks good and very compact to store 👍. Once you've bbq'd on it let us know how the food turn out. The rate that home energy bills are soaring, we might all be sat outside in our gardens/yards next winter using such as these to cook on and keep warm 🤣🤣
Frightening but very possibly true! I’ll be updating my thoughts as I use it more. So far so good 😊👍🏻
Not a bad purchase. Was hoping to use ours tonight but ours is heavier than that.
As you know I need to be cleverer with storage nowadays and this is a great bit of kit for my van, sturdy but light and unusually for camping gear these days it didn't cost the earth! 👍
@@CamperVanya ours folds flat too, the flatter the better when you're limited on space. It looks great. Look forward to seeing you use it out and about.
Love this as it seems to be lightweight? It also stayed quite clean too which is a bonus! Thank you for sharing
Really happy with it. A great buy! 👍🏻
That looks great sue stainless Steel too should last years and radiate the heat good too all the best donny
It seems a great bit of kit Donny 👍🏻
Looks a great bit of kit. We've had similar ones made of black steel. You'll have to let us know how it goes after a few uses. Checked out the link and they've sold out of the large ones. 😐🚙
The smaller will suit many people it depends what you’ll use it for really. It’s that time of year I suppose but will no doubt re-stock at some point and prob other places selling it. ATB Sue 😊
Wow it is very compact. Thanku sue x
You’re welcome. I get my use out of it x
Brilliant video new subscriber. Looking forward to seeing more. Much love ❤️
Thanks very much. I really appreciate it 😊 x
Looks better than ours for cooking on.
Time will tell 👍🏻
Perfect 🥰
I think it might well be perfect for my needs 👍
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thanks for watching, glad you like the 👍content
@@CamperVanya Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you….
I have one which I bought at Go Outdoors, it's brilliant.😁
I agree. It was just what I’d been looking for.
What size did you buy?
Doesn’t that look cool… or should I say hot?! Looking forward to seeing it in use when out and about 👍
It does! Can't wait to use it in the 'wild' 😊👍
Omg you got one xxxx
Yes and gave you a thank you mention 😊👍🏻 xx
@@CamperVanya I saw xx I appreciate that but I am so glad you got one x it’s ace xxxx
Hello my friend amazing video and good sharing stay connected 💯
Thank you! 😊
I can see my next purchase, don't tell Coral 😂
Hey Mark I think it’s my favourite purchase in a while! 👍🏻👍🏻
So I’ll bring the burgers and wine then 🤣🤣
That sounds a very good idea! 😋 x
Hi Sue. Have you bbq’d on the pit yet? Just wondering how you’re getting on with it🤦🏻♂️
Hi Andy I haven’t BBQd with it yet but have used as a fire pit a couple of times and am liking it 👍🏻
Fairnuf, I’ve ordered one anyway, cheap enough, I wanted one to use at home too
@@andyblake1849 I’ll prob try the BBQ at home at some point 👍🏻
Is it a clat putting it away Sue after you have used it.
Hi, no it isn't messy at all (I had to google 'clat' 😂). Just swept out the bits of ash and wiped down. Cleans easily and if I was out and about in the van, just wiping it down would do. Good piece of kit 👍
@@CamperVanya Ok thanks Sue.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun I need to catch up with your latest, been a bit mad here with Covid and now decorators. Hope you’re both good ❤️
@@CamperVanya Wow, are you ok now.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun yes it was just like a cold fortunately 👍🏻
Hi sue! I am such a dinosaur. Please can you tell me the exact make of the portable bbq and grill. I need to order it but can’t find the details xx
Hi Lorna. Just look in the ‘description’ part of this video I’ve put a link in there to where I got mine on eBay. If you’re struggling to find it let me know x
@@CamperVanya that’s my problem! When people say, “see the link below “ I can never see it! Xx
@@lornawycherley3656 Lol, oh sorry. Ok here’s the link. It comes in medium or large and I got the large one. Any probs let me know xx
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373427837451
@@CamperVanya you are a treasure! Thank you xx
Ps I did my first wild camp last Sunday. You inspired me. I was completely alone on the moors in Scotland but somehow found the strength to do it. Thank you Sue- you’re not alone xx
What is the make and model of this fire pit? An eBay link isn't helpful----the item is no longer current on eBay and the link does not identify the item. Thank you.
Copy and paste the title from the page link I’ve given you into Google. It’s very easy and shows you other options of where you can buy one. There is no make and model.
Hi friends nice videos friends great super like videos friends 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like a nice bit of kit Sue... and slow-mo footage too... gotta love some slow-mo flame footage..!! 😁
I have to agree Gaz, love a bit of slow-mo 🔥 😆👍🏻
