Gas is great for convenience sake. Temp control, instantly heats up/turns off, etc. I think charcoal or wood fires are great, but they have their own time & place.
Easier to control. No ash you gotta clean up, no ashes that can cause fire risk, no breeze causing the entire lawn to go up in flames, temp and size control etc
Neat for short glamping trips, not practical for anything else. Think about it, your in the woods. You can have a fire with wood. If you bring a stove and propane to cook, youd be literally burning through your cooking fuel by using this as a camp fire. It would be costly and very inconvenient if your soending more then a few days camping because youd need to go out to a town to refill the propane.
Bruh world's "FIRST" campfire??? As if army soldiers on deployment dont get small stoves with hexamine balls. Maybe not as flashy as this one, but they get the job done
So essentially they took the propane burner out the grill and stuck it in a ammo can and said its a portable fire. My buddy did this since he is homeless now with the old grill i had he had the whole grill with lid and no bottom legs. He can burn propane or wood he just unscrews the burrners and makes it a fire place
That thing is already invented in India and I have one of those at home. That is mostly used by street food vendors . You can get the Indian version for less price than you paid for that thing.
