Yep, it be pricey, but perhaps the best one on the market.
Here is a comparison.
Campfire Comparisons

I would have liked to have had this in 2009 when I was up at Greenwater, and I saw the sign about 1/4 mile into the forest service road that said no campfires until further notice.
I got bit really good that trip at night.

Not surprising they did not include Camp Chefs Fire Ring in their testing. At a 1/3 of the price with the same performance If I was Campfire I would not include it either:rolleyes:

I agree this type of fire providers are great. We use it for boat camping, yard sales, just sitting in the back yard, along with the forest.

Same burn rate of 2 hours per gal on high.

Thanks for the link! Just added that one to my list, really like the amount of lava rock in there to maximize the radiated heat.

I've got a Fire Dancer as well. I used it in the Maze District. Since I bought it 4? years ago for fire bans, we haven't had one here in the CO high country. Chances are that will change this year with the crappy snowpack. I like the adjustable flame. We use it at home when we eat outside during the summer and roast marshmallows after dinner on the patio.
 
This is perfect, thanks for the review. I should recieve mine next week VIA UPS. This is going to be great for the outer beach so I dont have to lug wood out there and worry about carting out the hot embers.
 
The Camp Chef looks pretty cool, but I gotta call BS on this photo. It exaggerates the size.
The specs say it is 15" in diameter and 7" deep. The one pictured looks about 24" across. Compare the size of the hotdogs over the flame to the size of the fire ring.

You're probably right about that. My guess is that its photoshopped. There are a few visual clues, such as the difference in the grass around the grill compared to the rest of the area, how both visible legs of the grill seem to have the same highlights, indicating two light sources, despite the fact that everything else is clearly lit from the right side, leaving the left side in shadow. Image editors are notorious for this sort of thing. The goal is to get the image to look normal to most people at a glance. Proportions would be secondary.

Is this enforced only in WA? I've never heard of it in california. I mean we have "burn days" here in valley ( sacramento area ) which means you can only burn on certain days, unless its raining. But that doesn't matter in the forest. You just need a fire permit unless its a designated camp ground with a pit.

Sorry I'm coming in late on this. I was backpacking once in the 5 lakes basin (Tahoe National Forest) late in the year (September/October). On the drive in to the trail head the ranger stopped us. Told us that "no flame" was allowed--no campfires, no candles, no stoves. We ate cheese and cold cuts for three days. ugh!
 
Anyone purchase the Camp Chef pit yet? Looking at their middle priced one they call Redwood. Same 55,000 BTU output as their entry level fire ring. Amazon has the Redwood fire pit for $104 w/free shipping right now (temporarily out of stock). Like others have said, for the price difference against the Camp Fire In A Can at $250, it's probably worth a try. I've been happy with other Camp Chef products I've got. I've carried a converted washing machine tub fire pit since '06. Love it, but obviously big and bulky by comparison to these propane units.

With wood burning fire restrictions becoming much more frequent (and necessary) this option is becoming more and more attractive wanting a fire while camping. Spent last weekend up in Big Bear w/o a fire and it just was NOT the same.
 
we have fire bans here in BC also ,north of Washington
we went with this outland firebowl ,Costco sells them in the summer
http://www.outlandfirebowl.com/ you also can get a carry strap and lid for it

or this one ,looks the same .http://heininger5995.com/

we use ours all year round even just sitting in the back yard ,you do need some sort of lid because it does have rocks .
which you can buy or make if you take it out on a wheeling trip with you ,
it is a bit big and can be a pain in the ass to bring on some trips .
