Campfire In A Can

RVers tired of coaxing sputtering campfires can get a robust blaze going in minutes with the traditional Campfire in a Can. Measuring 15 inches in diameter, the portable base works for wood, charcoal and firelog campfires. A two-piece stainless-steel burner ensures a steady flame, and the powder-coated stand provides stability. Time to call it a night? Snap down the canister to avoid a mess. Once cool, the product stores neatly in an RV. Good Sam product tester Thomas Lee from Theodore, Alabama, warmed up with the Campfire in a Can and says, “It’s easy to use and dependable. It reduces the stress and tension that follow a hard day of driving.” PRICE: $210 CONTACT: Campfire in a Can, 702-355-9338, www.campfireinacan.com
