Our family just got back from a five day camping trip to Blake Island here in Puget Sound. We had a fire every night even though there was a burning ban in effect, the kids and grandkids loved it! It's just not camping without a fire. The Ranger stopped buy nearly every night to check out our fire, he would comment on what a great fire it was but that we were making his job more difficult, all the other campers were jealous, we were the only ones permitted a fire in the whole campground! My wife said this Campfire In A Can paid for itself in this one trip, and I agree. Thanks again for a great product.

Thank you very much. I can’t believe the excellent service. I will most
certainly be recommending your products to all my friends and anyone
else who will listen.

Howdy !
My name is Mike Steffen. You may know me as a writer and contributing editor for RV magazines over the years and as a public speaker at RV conferences and shows. When not working though I'm also a camping NUT ! My family, kids and grand kids treasure the times we can spend together around a campfire watching the kids toast marshmallows or campfire pies while the adults tell story's, truths and perhaps a few tall tails.
We have found over the last few years that more and more National, State and private RV parks limit or deny campers from having open campfires. When we show them the CampFire in a Can the first thing the fire police normally ask is "Where can I get one ?"
We have both the propane model that we use for much of our outdoor cooking and the wood burning model for campfire gatherings. These are not cheaply made units ! We got our first one about five years ago and it still looks new. Just as one camper to another, take a look and see what you think. By the way, this is my personnel testament to Camp Fire in a Can, NOT a paid promotion. Just thought ya should know.

I just received my Campfire in a Can and it was well worth the wait.
Your design and implementation were flawless. Your promise was kept. A
customer couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for making this product. We
will use it and enjoy it with our motor home.

We received the Campfire in a can late this afternoon, set it up, and
enjoyed it for an hour or so out on our deck, before packing it up for
our trip. We are very pleased with our purchase, and know we will enjoy
it. I am especially pleased with your response and extra efforts on
your part in resolving the damage issue. Thank you for your prompt and
courteous attention. Thanks again. Kindest Regards,

Is your product being resold at Camping world as the “little red
campfire” or something like that? It looks so much like your product.
I own one Campfire in a Can and have been very happy with it. I decided
to buy a second for my smaller RV so I didn’t have to transfer them
back and forth. Unfortunately I was at Camping World and bought the
“Little Red” thing and it was a terrible disappointment. It looks so
much like the original Campfire In A Can but, it wasn’t. After a night
of trying to get it to work I’ve taken it back and have since placed an
order for an authentic Campfire in a can. Camping world is selling a
knock off of your product. Yours is so much better made.

If you haven’t sealed the box yet, toss in a few business cards and
I’ll be more than happy to spread the word. It’s certainly been
refreshing to work with you company. It’s not often that you find
someone willing to help and communicate as much as you folks have.
Great job. Thanks.

Thank you for your immediate response. I was very impressed with the
customer service side of your business; I felt that you were truly
concerned about me and my feelings. I am in the customer service side
at Boeing, so I understand the need and sometimes the frustrations of
properly dealing with customers. Thanks for the tip about the regulator!

Hi, I purchased a campfire in a can so I could have a fire at night.
Anyway, I hated duralogs, and duralog -type logs (smokey), but I loved
the Envirolog. I’m a believer. Also, can I tell you what a cool
invention is your campfire in a can. I love it!

Our Gas Campfire in a can arrived at noon today. We have already
fired it up. Works great. Thanks a lot for getting it to us on time. We
will have a lot of fun with it this summer.

I purchased a unit from you about a year ago and am extremely happy
with it. A close friend is new to camping and I am buying this “house
warming gift” for him and his wife (after seeing mine) considers it a
“must have” for their new RV. I note that Camping world has what
appears to be the same thing for $135 under a different name. I wanted
the real thing though, and gladly pay a little more for a product that
has exceeded my expectation. Congratulations on a great product.

When I was at the GNARVR in Redmond in July of this
year I, after much thought, purchased a Campfire In A Can®
unit (I got the works). While at the booth I conversed with the man
about burning things other than Duraflame logs, damp or wet wood
specifically, including unseasoned wood. The gentleman didn't know for
sure, but told me that if I try it, to let them know what happens. And
that's the reason for this email.
I only used my unit once while camping this last summer, and it was
with a Duraflame log one time, and with matchlite briquettes the other.
In both cases it worked fine, and then winter came and it was buttoned
up until next spring -- I thought.
One day I decided, during a snowstorm, that it sure would be nice to
have a campfire. And the rest is history so they say. Since that time,
my friend and I have spent many a cold winter morn sitting out on the
patio sipping coffee around a campfire (in a can, of course). What a
pleasure.
Today, we did it
again, starting with a cheapo Duraflame knockoff (Wal-Mart) and as it
burned down, we added a few dry mill ends. Then my eye fell on some
snow-covered pruned tree branches that I had piled in the backyard.
They were pretty wet, and not seasoned much (trimmed four months
before) but we cut chunks off anyway to give them a try. They were
about one-inch-thick branch ends, plus some very wet twig material.
So how did they work? Well, to my absolute amazement, they burned all
the way down to ash. I figured it was made possible by the incredible
amount of heat trapped in the chimney area. We had a wonderful fire
using old, damp branches (with a bit of help from a mostly-burned-down
"duraflame" log.
Campfire In A Can®
has my vote for the camping invention of the year. Wow, what a product! William

I
bought a campfire in a can years ago, and began using it in RV
campgrounds all over the West. People walking by were so interested in
it as we were burning it, that it got to where we couldn't enjoy it
without being interrupted many times each evening! Thankfully, the
Campfire in a Can® Folks sent us some business cards so that
we could just hand the card to interested parties and go on with our
enjoyment of the fire! I have been so happy with the operation and
quality of it, that I purchased the gas version this summer for use in
the locations where burning of wood/logs is prohibited. It is every bit
as much fun as the original! Keep up the good work! Jerry, an avid motor-homer!
We picked up our campfire in a can in Buffalo at an FMCA
rally a few years ago. It's great, and
provides a quick, easy, not-to-worry campfire. Keep those ideas coming. Thanks, Barb & Russ
Hey,
thanks for the note. I bought mine when you were in Las Vegas at your
RV park and have loved the "Campfire In A Can®". My brother
Terry thought they were great and bought one for himself and for each
of his kids....too cool! Many happy returns! Barry
I wanted to write to you to tell you how much I have enjoyed your
"Campfire In a Can®" product. I have yet to take the "Campfire In a Can®"
on a camping trip but you can be sure when I go I will tote it along. I
have, though, used "Campfire In a Can®" at my home many
times. I have burned wood, charcoal and envirologs. In every instance
it has been easy to light, put off nice warmth, and set a nice tone for
outside get togethers. After an evening fire...cleanup has been a snap!
or, rather, 3 snaps, with no mess left anywhere on my property! Please
accept my thanx. I will be recommending your product to anyone who'll
listen. Craig H.
I have to eat some crow on this one. The valves and gas line that
collected ice and caused the fire to not operate properly were not the
fault of your design. The propane tank that was first used did in fact
run out of propane shortly after use. When I hooked up the new tank we
purchased strictly for the fire place is when the problem began. After
talking to you, I gave some thought and tried the tank with a BBQ grill
and had a problem with propane leaking through the regulator.
Apparently the youngster that was to have purged the new tank didn't
really know what he was doing. I hooked up still another tank and the
grill and fireplace worked fine. I took the tank to a reputable propane
station and had it purged correctly. This seems to have solved the
problem as the fireplace seems to be working great when we used it last
night and the night before.
Thanks for your willingness to set things right. It reflects the
quality of your company. Mike
We have enjoyed our Campfire In A Can®.
Wherever we camp, people have stopped by just to see what we are
burning. We always give them your information and tell them how much we
enjoy your product. We have also decided it would make great gifts for
our camping friends and relatives. Ron & Sue Quartzsite

have been enjoying camping for 35 years and have been in situations
many times when your Campfire In A Can® would have been
handy to have. So we know that we will get a lot of use out of it.

We saw you demonstrate the Campfire In A Can®
at the FMCA rally in Albuquerque. Not being "impulse" buyers we ordered
one in July and went on an RV trip in August. It worked admirably and
is so versatile and well engineered. We tried out wood, charcoal and
firelogs. The photo is its first use. The sites were not in campgrounds
and it was easy to leave no trace of a fire. Good Job. Ed & Cary

We
just finished another two week trip to Colorado and enjoyed our
Campfire In A Can® several times. We have had people over to
our site to see it and they invariably take home your easy to remember
website saying they are impressed and would like one. I was skeptical
at first when we saw it in Albuquerque and Ed kept insisting on getting
one. Now I'm happy we did as it has kept us outdoors more in the
evening and is so easy to clean up. We even roasted marshmallows,
something I haven't done for forty years. Tom & Jackie South

We have been greatly pleased with the Campfire In A Can®
that we bought. We've used it (with permission) at two campgrounds that
would not permit "regular" fires… one on bare asphalt. The campground
owners were charmed out of their boots! Dean & Laurie Bremerton

I bought your Propane Campfire In A Can®,
I just had to have it for our trip this summer. We did try it on our
patio at home before we left. I do want to tell you it was everything
you said it was, we were just totally satisfied. Thank you again for
such a fine product. Bill & Kathy

I saw your Campfire In A Can®
at an FMCA rally and my wife fell in love with it. We saw one in use
that a friend had purchased and she has been on my case ever since to
get her one. It took a lot of perseverance to save it for a Christmas
present. Thanks Shad
Solved A Big Problem For Me,
I bought one of these to use with my camper van. Way too often, when staying at a campsite, the fire pit is usually not conveniently located for me to reap the benefits of having a campfire, especially since I generally prefer to set up my camping stove and dining table close to my camper.
However, I used my portable campfire in a can for the first time this late October weekend up in the forest and was thrilled not only to be able to keep warm from the heat generated by a single Duraflame log (2.5 hours burn time). Of course, I also found I had enough time and light to dine by and then to clean up afterwards, while using only a small headlamp.
It was very satisfying to be able to not only control the location of my campfire but to now be able to exploit it for both my enjoyment and tasks. I look forward to using this portable campfire to extend my camping season.

This is a very nice vertical campfire. It can keep a family of four nice and warm for about an hour or so on a single Duraflame log. Since the log is a waxy manmade product it burns very evenly and cleanly and you can get really close to stay warm. The real advantage, however , is that when it is closed, the ashes are completely sealed inside, and you don’t have to worry about getting soot on things when you put it away.

Hi, I purchased your original Campfire In A Can four or five years ago. I have used it every summer and always enjoyed doing so. It’s a great product. Almost all my camping is on the ocean and over the years the hinges and handle on the red cover have rusted off. I keep it on with a bungee cord. The rest of the can is as good as new and has not been a victim of this rust. I have certainly gotten my monies worth out of this purchase. Here it comes. Would you like to replace my cover at no cost to me, at your cost to me or charge me what you will. Can I just get a new cover? I will be satisfied with whatever you decide. Thanks.

Bonjour, Last July I was camping with the family in the Niagara Falls area when I noticed my neighbours campfire. He was from Kansas and provided me with your coordinate. I think that with all the advantages that such a device offers and the preoccupations that most people have for the environment in general, it will surely gain in popularity. Your best advertisement is definitely making sure that people are able to see that little system in action.

Sept. 2003 Further to our many conversations over the past several months, it is indeed a pleasure to have this opportunity to test one of your Campfire In A Can models.
We are a camping family who over the last 15 years have owned and used a variety of camping arrangements including tents, trailers, a camper and most recently a Volkswagon Westfalia camper van.
Our experience over this time has taught us two very important things;
1) Space is a premium commodity in short supply
2) A good campfire is essential every night
We have enjoyed using the Campfire In A Can on several occasions and find it easy to light, simple to clean and compact to store.
Most of all, it provides a cozy fire with an inviting flame.
Many thanks for the use of your great invention over the summer.
With fondest regards,
Kent & Barb MacCarl
