Last Updated on March 8, 2023 by Jack Ryan

Camping is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, when camping, one of the most important things to have is a good camping fire pit. A good fire pit will keep you warm, provide light, and cook your food. There are many different fire pits on the market, so it can be hard to know which one is the best for you. But don’t worry, we’ve done all the research for you! This article will discuss our top picks for the best wood camping fire pits we tried and tested.

HH home hut’s large fire pit is our first camping fire pit selection. Not only will this act as a firepit for your camping journey but also as a camping grill. There is another advantage to this fire pit. As this fire pit is placed above the ground, the heat from the metal bowl won’t just transfer to the ground; instead, this will warm up the surrounding air making you more comfortable. The mesh on this fire pit is convenient when not using the grill. This mesh cover will prevent burning embers from blowing out.

Here’s a fancy-looking portable camping fire pit if you are into looks. There are a few sizes and models you can choose from, even a tiny portable backpacking stove if you are an ultralight backpacker. All these fire pits have the same technology and stainless steel body.

This stainless steel Solo fire pit is a bit more special than the ordinary fire pit. There is no smoke(almost). Yes, you read it right. This stove has a unique double-wall design to maximize the airflow and the wood-burning process. Also, you will have no more half-burned woods to deal with.

There are a few cons too,

• You will lose the shiny inner layer after a few burns.
• The Shiny Outer layer also will lose after you use it for some time. 
• High price point compared to other camping fire pits. 

One of the most commonly used open fire pit due to the low price and the smaller size, yet it might be tricky for a beginner when setting up for the first time. These rollable steel mesh fireplaces come in various brands, and the majority of them have the same way of setting up. We chose the Dcola fire pit due to its quality, low price point, and the reviews left by consumers.

The Dcola outdoor fire pit is entirely made of stainless steel and only weighs about 680 grams. The best part about this fire pit is when you disassemble, you can carry this in a side pocket of the backpack without any hassle. The steel mesh is extremely resistant to heat, and ash or debris will not fall to the ground.

The Amazon basics portable folding fire pit is a four-legged fire pit with a design similar to the HH Home Hut fire pit mentioned earlier. Compared to the HH Home hut camping fire pit, this one is larger, has four legs, and weighs almost the same. This Amazon fire pit also contains a fire screen(steel mesh), foldable legs and can be used as a camping grill.

Fennex hexagon is another perfect camping fire pit for a lightweight backpacker. This german made fire pit only weighs about 3.9 Kg, and when disassembled, you can easily carry this in a backpack or under your seat in your car. Even a beginner can smoothly assemble this stainless steel mobile fire pit after a few tries. You only need to be careful about the hot ash and the heat radiating from the bottom of this open fire pit, as this can burn whatever is under the Fennex fire pit. We would recommend using a steel mesh or a sandy area to place this.

The Odoland Collapsible Campfire Grill is another excellent fire pit choice for campers. In terms of design and structure, this is somewhat similar to the Fennex hexagon yet equipped with more items such as a campfire grill and a supporting table(Supporting legs). Its low weight and minimum space requirement is really helpful to carry around with minimal effort.

The only downside to this fire pit is that there is a probability of accidental knock-offs even by the slightest force due to the low weight of this fire pit.

The Biolite fire pit is a unique camping fire pit with Bluetooth functionality. Yes, that’s right, this is a zero-smoke smart camping fire pit that allows you to control the flame’s size with your smartphone. The BioLite energy firepit weighs 9 Kg and has a 12,800 mAh rechargeable battery for a longer burn time. You can use either charcoal or wood as the fuel for this.

Another unique thing about this camp fire pit is its heat shield or a steel mesh around its body. This will prevent burning embers and ash from blowing out and gives a really cool look to the fire pit. A grill grate also comes with this that can place on the top of the open fire to cook food. On the Biolite energy official website, this firepit received 397 reviews with an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars.

Another three-legged fire pit but lacks the folding functionality; thereby, this won’t be a perfect choice if you are a backpacking camper or a person who tries to travel lightly. Recommend for someone who wants to go car camping or live in an RV. This fire pit is a bit heavy compared to the other camping fire pits(Weighs about 4.4 Kg), and as a result, this steel fire bowl is indeed sturdy. This elegantly designed fire pit can be used as a fire bowl, BBQ Grill, or outdoor heater.
