Portable propane fireplace
A portable propane fireplace can be used at a camping site. It does not create any smoke and mess. A propane fire is generally smaller than a campfire and is not as hot although it provides heat for those sitting around it.
There is a propane burner at the bottom. You have to pour fireproof vermiculite over it. When propane supply is turned on, the propane flies up through the vermiculite and burns on its surface in a random manner across the top.
If you buy some fake logs and place them on the top of the vermiculite, you get the appearance of mini logs burning.
The portable propane unit can be taken to any place. You can use the unit for a bar-be-que. You can also use it in forests, RV parks that do not allow camp fires. You can turn off the gas and cover the unit with a lid to put it away. You do not have to worry about the hot coals and ensure to put them out.
