I have a idea for a easy source of this style of box.

Care to share?

Also bump because fire restrictions seem to be coming early this year. A forest ranger told me that illegal fires are the biggest threat to the Fordyce Creek Trail staying open.

Also, I agree that the OP is overly butthurt, but I found this thread because I saw the Lavabox ad on IG and thought “that’s neat, how hard could it be to make?”

Use a chaffing dish as the box. Stainless steel with lids. There a a billion sizes but try to keep the low sides and larger foot print like the one I made.
Mine worked awesome on Spring Break, everybody loved it and it really made the trip becuase it was cold enough at night heat was needed to extend hangouts.

We lucked out and my buddy had a hose to run off the port on the side of his 5er.

The look on that kids face pretty much sum's up my opinion of this pathetic substitute for a campfire.

Bahahaha! Well said. I never feel like more of a suburbanite camping poser than when I bust out my (commercially built, even) propane campfire. But it's beyond handy when you can't have a real fire, or when you're an overgrown child. For me, a real campfire encourages me to sit out there alone while it dies down and sip whiskey for safety reasons. So, there's a bigger liquor hangover on top of the lung hangover.

Of course, the original and primary reason I bought it was because of the drought and fireban capabilities. But there are other benefits once you sacrifice all personal pride at the altar of convenience.

That's right. I used Marsellus Wallace to justify my pansiness. Fight me! :flipoff2:

He's a trip.

But there are "no wood fires" allowed in this RV park so here we are.

Probably would be worse with no fire at all. :homer:

How long can you burn on one tank?

It was 50 ish outside and raining definitely a party killer with no fire.

On this LP hose I bet we can get three to 4 nights on a 30lb tank, maybe more I'm not really sure.

Running it direct off a 20lb unregulated it drinks the fuel much faster.
 
Ya'll need to do a recessed connection port for flush sides of box...
