When travelling and camping in our camper van, we often use a fire pit. You may already know, we often cook over a fire pit too, whether it be curry, steak, burgers or chicken. We use a mixture of charcoal and wood for that authentic smoke flavour but aside from cooking, there's nothing better than a campfire surrounded by family & friends with a beer in hand, especially if you're fighting mosquitos or midges!
We own a Kadai travel fire bowl, a Snowpeak folding fire pit, a Petromax Atago and an Amazon special.
They all have their own features & benefits and I'm sure there's something in this collection to suit most of you!
If you think there's a gap in our collection then let us know which addition you think we should add.
Tune in next week to see us cook something special over one of these pits.
I know it's easy to assume, all youtubers only talk about free stuff... we paid for all of this 😁

Mmm, don’t have any fire pits. Food for thought. Anyway, vans packed for three nights in Aberlour. Leffe, malt shall be drank with a nice steak.

Well I’ve got the amazon one and never used it. We mainly stay where you can’t have open fires. I love the look of the snow peak one, I was just looking at it in Keswick just before this video. One question though, which may or may not be stupid……..how does your clothes/down jackets etc fair up when near the fire? I would be worried about the embers. Also, do you use it under the wind out awning or outside of it when sitting underneath?
@Professionalmoochers
@Professionalmoochers 3 месяца назад
We’ve started looking specifically for sites which allow fires 😉 If you have properly dried wood, it’ll spit & smoke less, with a lot less embers but, we normally try not to wear a fragile jacket near it. Normally go wool or fleece. Under the awning shade should be fine but, you’d have to use less fuel, keep the heat levels down

Brilliant reviews,…..We carry a frontier stove, ( the cheap tent stove) its excellent for cooking, in terms of a cars iron or dutchy,..a bonus is its a good heat source and the smoke is ten foot above you. Ok, it’s no bush telly unless you leave the door open, but it feels safer too as it’s enclosed and the flue has a decent spark arrester.

We’ve toyed with the idea of getting a Glawning and a stove like that would a must have item for an awning, they look really good 👌🏼

Thankfully you have all four of the fire pits that I need. As such, Ruth won't protest too much when I tell her I just want one... The Petromax! Have you gone for the Ooni or the Gozney pizza oven. I'm already sending Ruth pics of the Gozney Dome in green. Yet again, your name will be mentioned in the bargaining process! 😆
@Professionalmoochers
@Professionalmoochers 3 месяца назад
Petromax is an excellent choice sir! Don’t forget to include the bag in your sales pitch, maybe a Dutch oven too 😉 I’ve gone for a black Gozney Roccbox, haven’t even opened it yet but I’ve made some dough balls so will be using it for the first time tonight 🤞🏼🧑‍🍳

The snow peak grill is both adjustable and 304 stainless steel. Whoever said it was made of chrome is either a liar or clueless when it comes to the art of metallurgical compounds. 😂😂
@Professionalmoochers
@Professionalmoochers 3 месяца назад
It’s the additional grill which goes ontop, which is chrome plated. The reason I didn’t invest the extra on it. The fire pit itself though, is really robust 👌🏼

I have the Atago, brilliant but of kit. I also use it for Dutch oven cooking, I also have the hot plate which is brilliant for al fresco breakfasts. The other thing I was dubious about is the fireproof 'cloth' oven cover but it’s surprisingly effective. So versatile and a brilliant fire pit - very efficient and probably the only one you can pick up and move it whilst it’s hot of the wind changes direction!
@Professionalmoochers
@Professionalmoochers 3 месяца назад
The hot plate does look very tempting 😍 Fireproof cloth?? I’m going to have to look into that! 😁
@mikelambrou4462
@mikelambrou4462 3 месяца назад
@@Professionalmoochers I looked it up, it’s actually called a convection dome! I bought the atago as a set which included the bag and the dome. Didn’t think I’d ever use the dome but it’s great, can use it as a smoker or to create an oven when using a small Dutch oven on the top grate etc. The hot plate I have is the one with the hole in the middle (to feed fuel) but also doubles up as a great burner to boil water for a brew while frying the bacon for breakfast butties!
