HOWL R3 Three-Season Radiant Propane Fire Pit
Here's the problem with most propane fire pits: they look like a fire, but the heat rises off the top and blows away, and everyone ends up back in the tent by nine. The R3 fixes that with a U-Tube BarCoal® burner, a stainless tube that glows at 1,100°F and throws radiant heat outward the way a bed of wood coals does. You feel it on your shins and hands, not just see it.
On top of that you still get HOWL's A-Flame®, a 24-inch flame, so it looks and feels like a campfire. One knob runs both. It reaches full heat in about three minutes and it's rated down to 25°F, which covers spring, summer and fall for most of the places our customers camp.
Built for Bad Weather
The BarCoal stays lit in 120 mph winds. The A-Flame can blow out around 60 mph, but it relights off the glowing tube. Self-draining burners keep it running in rain and snow, and HOWL's primary-air combustion works at any altitude. GroundCool™ keeps the ground just 5 inches below the 1,100°F tube cool. And like every HOWL, it's smoke-free with no embers or sparks and built for burn bans.*
Packs Smaller Than a Case of Beer
Fold the GullWing legs in and the R3 measures 18 × 12 × 5.8 in at 20 lbs, a one-hand carry that fits a truck drawer or camper cubby. The HOWL R3 HaulBag holds it and the hose together and keeps soot off your gear.

What's Included
R3 fire pit and 8-ft regulator hose. It runs on any standard 20 lb propane tank (sold separately). HOWL recommends a 20 lb tank for the R3 rather than a 10.
Camping colder than 25°F? The HOWL R4 MKii is rated to 0°F. Want the lightest option for mild nights? See the HOWL R1. HOWLs are certified as campfires, not stoves, so they aren't for cooking.
