Flame-Tested Fun - Exploring Tabletop Fire Pits and the Experience They Provide

[@timothypeck3640]

Great demonstration Dan! My wife and I saw a mini fire pit at WalMart and we agreed we will be purchasing one for our decks! Good job!👍

[@ClairenParkerontheRoad]

Which one is the besy for cooking?

[@oldguyfirewood]

Nice comparison Dan. I'm amazed at how popular these tabletop fire pits have become. I reviewed the Warm Bond mini several months ago and a lot of my friends have gotten one. Short off cuts now are in demand!

[@Back40Firewood]

I only knew of a few brands until I searched on Amazon...they are everywhere so there must be a demand for them.

[@blackboy355]

Did the Stainless Steel ones change colour after a few burns?

[@LipsMalloy]

I got the WarmBond Mini and just received one of two of your mini firewood racks and box of mini firewood. Awesome products all around. I also discovered they now make some cooking accessories to go with the WarmBond Mini so I ordered those for fun. I am very impressed with the mini firewood rack and box of wood. Nice demo of the various models.

[@Back40Firewood]

Wonder why both the boxes weren't delivered at the same time...lol, oh well hopefully the other box shows up today. I really like the Warmbond Mini shape, sets it apart from all the others. They were suppose to release different color options but not sure they ever did. Enjoy the mini firewood, hope you get a chance to burn some this weekend.

[@LipsMalloy]

@@Back40Firewood It came the next day. I'm in a rural area where the mail lady has to use her own car and it has limited space for packages. And Amazon dumped all their packages on USPS instead of UPS as it had been, so she is overwhelmed. Quick question: have you thought of making the mini firewood racks out of aluminum? If you did, I would buy a lighter weight version for camping.

[@WilleysFirewood]

I’ve started making the mini firewood in my area as well and it seems to be selling fairly well.

[@toddschumacker-ex1wd]

Awesome review/comparison! I have the warmbond mini, works awesome.

[@melissahoffman4687]

These firepits can be used for cooking with a pot stand and fuel is below the top holes. Alcohol burners can also be used in these fire pits/gasifier stoves and will be mimicked as a windscreen. Have this in mind too. :)

[@jbbrown7907]

Your mini firwood is not seasoned, right? Only baked to a set temperature for the minimum allowed time?

[@Back40Firewood]

I season/dry it before the heat treatment.

[@jbbrown7907]

@@Back40Firewood that was what I wondered

[@hsvkid]

Do these units throw any heat? How much wood comes in the mini wood you sell? I couldn’t find a weight or volume amount on your website.

[@Back40Firewood]

Oh yes they give off heat, just not in a very large radius. Boxes are 12"x10"x6".

[@thefirewooddoctor]

My mini tabletop fire pit should be here Monday. But am on the road for work, so gotta wait until next weekend to make my own mini firewood to give it a good run.

[@jacksonbrown9451]

I've been looking into these bc I camped in a place where for the life of me I couldn't find any rocks to make a pit, so I didn't feel safe making a fire. I was hoping to use one of these for that.

[@ronbrooks6681]

Dan what an Awesome display on the outdoor Fire Pits. I am going to pick one up at Walmarts. Yes they are one of a kind and will definitely keep you Warm and I bet keep the Bugs at Bay. I am Re-Doing my MS-260Pro Saw some new parts and getting ready to do some Cutting of my Logs this Week, not to much all at once just enough, like 3hours every other day or so. Weather Depending. Doing much better but not pushing it my Friend. Missed Friday Night Live as I just felt off and needed some Rest. Be in touch and as always Watch the Ticks, Stay Safe and see you at the next Video. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

[@janicealbracht9146]

I bought the Menards one and it has a little center chimney, no instructions on how to use it. I notice his did not have the removable center. Why ?

[@petepeterson3395]

It’s a pellet chimney, you add a small wood block inside to light and then surround with wood pellets. As per the instructions provided with mine

[@templar1694]

Nice collection.

[@tonywoods3197]

Hi Dan Those Mini Table Top fine Stoves Are Awesome ‼️

[@outdoorsinthe608]

I love my mesa xl! One of the vets won the mesa and the mini wood Saturday!!👍👍

[@BlazingMo]

Thank you. I just purchased a small table top stove fire pit from Walmart. I wasn't looking for one but saw it was on sale and couldn't beat the price. When I ordered it I thought it was going to be connected to propane. Oh boy was I wrong. But this is even better. Thanks for your video because the one I received didn't have instructions. Now I need to find out where to purchase that little wood 😂

[@Back40Firewood]

The best experience is definitely burning wood...pellets isn't bad, but I prefer adding pieces of wood as needed. I have mini firewood available here: linktr.ee/back40firewood Thanks.....glad to hear the video helped, you'll have a blast with your table top fire pit. They're awesome!!

[@Globemaster03]

Looks great but nobody is mentioning the heat output which is the most important point of buying one imo.

[@larryterrell8458]

Great video Dan, gotta say the mesa seems to show the reburn effect. Also 2 seemed to have higher flames. I enjoyed the comparison🇺🇸👏🏻

[@Back40Firewood]

Yep I thought the same that the Solo Mesa XL had the better reburn effect, I think the smaller ones with a smaller diameter did put out a decent flame though.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

This is a cool comparison on them.😉👍

[@ericlivingston8027]

Something I noticed is the cheaper fire pits in the back seemed to go out more. In fact it seemed that the green one in the back went out at least a few times in the span of the video. Something I would worry about with the stands is wind blowing them over and them tipping.

[@garylaszewski7380]

Excellent video on a very popular topic. I feel you "moved the bar" on firewood with your mini firewood.

[@kevinmason3086]

The Ozark trail seems to be burning pretty good I might have to invest in one of them. Thanks for showing us all how they really burn. By the way how hot do they get on the outside?

[@Back40Firewood]

The Ozark Trails also comes with a top made to hold a pot and to cook on, I didn't show that in the video. The outside gets pretty hot.

[@Jina_G]

Mine caught on fire on the outside and peeled the outside paint off. Flames coming out of the holes. Scared me enough not to get another one 😢

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good video 👍 I personally don't have one but I can see the allure to them.

[@BillBailey-sr8gd]

I have the Ozark and they will light a fire and it almost every night and have a couple Frosty’s.😁 Great video

[@Back40Firewood]

Many people I have talked to with one do the same...like every evening for half hour to an hour will have theirs fired up.

[@akadog6319]

where is the ring on the Ozark trail.

[@Back40Firewood]

The ring for that has a built in shelf to hold a pot for cooking....so I left if off for this demonstration.

[@aminking007]

please provide the Links oft he firepits or at least write the complete names of them. I can not find all.

[@tonywoods3197]

Hi Dan Will you be Making a Table Top Fire Pits Support Table like a Brick Ring to Make it Easier for People to have a Platform to Put Them on I think That would take the Guess Work out of Where to Put Them 👍

[@Back40Firewood]

There are stands available for a few of the brands...there's a whole bunch of accessories that have been made and more continue coming out.

[@Wolverinemark]

Hey, just a heads up, you didn’t get the top ring with the one from Walmart you should take it back and get the correct one with it

[@billobermeyer660]

We certainly enjoy our table top fire pits! They serve a purpose that is different from the bigger ground style pits.

[@Back40Firewood]

They definitely do serve a purpose and can really add to the enjoyment of an evening.

[@millenium2003]

What purpose?

[@TNBushcrafter]

Had amazon keep popping some up back during prime days so I ended up buying 3 "Messon" olive drab for 17.98 each.

[@Back40Firewood]

Nice...they are fun to use, you'll enjoy them. Let me know if you need any mini firewood...lol www.back40woodhound.com/minifirewood

[@WestwayFirewood1313]

I'm still surprised at well these mini tabletop fire pits have caught on. I don't see myself using one, but I can see the attraction if you don't have the space or need for a larger fire pit. Good comparison though!

[@chilloften]

I’m seeing a cute one on Aldi ad for $29.99. So I’m investigating these things. Don’t know if I’m allowed one at a complex but I want one.

[@CentralMinnesotaFirewood]

Are these type of pits popular? Seems like a strange thing to me, Im more of a 4' firepit kind of guy

[@Dorchwoods]

They're crazy popular here in Maine. Both my neighbors have large firepits, and both of them have these tabletop fire pits. I haven't seen them use the full size fire pits in a long time, but they use the tabletop ones multiple nights a week!

[@CentralMinnesotaFirewood]

@@Dorchwoods interesting, I like the performance of the smokeless style pits but hate that they take away the visual effect a fire has... I love just watching a fire, and the smokeless pits 90% of the flame is covered by steel

[@Back40Firewood]

They are becoming more and more popular for people who don't have a yard that's big enough or no yard at all for a regular fire pit.

[@botabob]

It seems the taller stoves burn a little better. Maybe it's because the reburn air has longer to absorb the heat and making it easier to ignite when it hits the smokey fuel. I can see why they are so popular. Enjoy the journey - cheers

[@ToFightTheGoodFight]

I see the solo burn on the secondary. I guess I gravitate to the solo. I'm sure they all perform. It's a matter of what you're willing to pay. Great test

[@healyfamily4]

Shifty bringing the heat! Good comparison video. Can't wait to see you in your new Caleb Williams Bears jersey. Not too late to hop on the bandwagon. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks! LOL...I don't think you'll be seeing that jersey on me.

[@maddyrose1481]

Your Ozark is missing the top piece that can hold pots and direct the flame.

[@Firewoodguy-t6m]

table top fire pit im looking for huge one to make fires

[@bradwatters996]

I bought one off of amazon and was not impressed. But i was burnin pine so maybe i need to try some hardwood.

[@Kevinw4040]

The Ozark Trail pit looks like it’s missing the top ring. I think wood pellets will burn longer in these than wood pieces. Just my opinion.

[@burgie4241]

The first one you mentioned -- the "Lacool" brand-- is that what you called it? Is that how you spell it? Using that spelling, I couldn't find it on Amazon-- why not actually put the names on the screen so there's no doubt about what you're talking about?

[@Back40Firewood]

Those 'brand' names change on those all the time and so they may not still be offered, however if you just search 'Table top fire pit' on Amazon you'll be presented many options. Or....if you'd like you can pick one up here. 😀 And get some wood to go with it. www.back40woodhound.com/category/fire-pits

[@deanrambler9006]

To me, the allure is to watch the wood actually being consumed. With these, you only see the flames out the top. I like seeing the wood disappearing as the fire burns.

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah it is a bit of a different/unique experience from a traditional open pit fire.

[@drewditzler2818]

Not sure why then don't come with some kind of rack so you can put a pan on top for cooking

[@Back40Firewood]

So do, and there are options and attachments like that out there for them.

[@m3r-tri]

Thx. 😀 Jaz imam kitajskega.

[@jbbrown7907]

If you can sell these mini tabletop firepits You can then sell your mini firewood.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there little wood makes little bond fires , not approved for real wood hounds just for amateurs , good show best to all .john

[@Back40Firewood]

Bigger is not always better...lol...especially when it comes to tabletop fire pits and the wood ya put in them...haha

[@fricknjeep]

@@Back40Firewood i am afraid to ask what wood you are putting in them and the real reason you got so many lol back

[@mycrt52]

UPDATE,,F Y I ,, THE OZARK TRAIL DOES COME WITH A RING.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Dan,don’t burn 🔥 up all your inventory or little boss man will be getting some overtime that could make your pockets a bit more lighter than you would want 😮😊❤

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahaha...yeah the good thing is I do have a good supply of off-cuts and pieces that didn't make the final grade for quality to burn up.
