(Small size)Portable Wood Burning Grill & Fire Pit X-MINI-PRO

Review Update – Fits 18-Inch Firewood PerfectlyI originally bought this fire pit because there’s a beach we love to camp on that requires you to bring your own fire pit and dispose of the ashes. It’s worked out so well that I now use it at other campsites too—I absolutely love it.One of the main reasons I chose this unit is because it’s long enough to fit the 18-inch firewood you typically find at campground stores and nearby gas stations. That’s been a huge convenience.Another major plus is that it doubles as a charcoal grill—and it works incredibly well for that. What’s worked out great for us is using charcoal to cook dinner at camp, then tossing logs on the still-burning coals right after cooking. The coals easily ignite the firewood, giving us a great campfire for the evening.Airflow is excellent, cleanup is a breeze (just brush and wipe it down), and it all packs up nicely in a thick, heavy-duty, well-designed carry bag. Highly recommend.

I have yet to actually use it but I didn't put it together as test and it is very sturdy and has a good design. Set up only took about 20-30 seconds and was very easy. I have no concerns about it actually holding up during actual use. The grill rack kind of latches into place too which is nice so you don't have to worry about it sliding around everywhere. Although I found it only does that well on the higher setting. Which honestly one inch of height doesn't make much of of a difference so that's I will only cook on the higher setting anyways just for it not to slide around. The bag it comes in is also very sturdy and thick and well made. Very pleased and very excited to go out camping and use it. Definitely wide and deep enough to fit a couple standard quartered logs in it too, at least the one I bought which was the 19" one I think

The media could not be loaded. I really like this product because it is easy to install, easy to clean and it is stainless steel. The only problem is that it is a bit heavy especially if you want to go camping or hiking. I really like this product because it comes with its case and you can easily store it. I recommend it 100% because when you have it stored you can put it anywhere and it does not take up space.

I bought this grill for a recent camping trip, and for possible future use on backpacking trips. That is why I chose the smallest size. And the size was perfect. The tiny little grill is roughly 6“ x 6“. It’s perfect for cooking two hamburgers, a pork chop, or maybe three or four hotdogs. I had planned to try making oatmeal on this grill, but both of the mornings that I planned to do that, it rained, so I ended up not cooking. Therefore, I still don’t know whether it will boil water or not.Because the grill is so tiny, the receptacle which holds the charcoal or wood is also very tiny and also gets narrow at the bottom. So I’m not sure you could put enough fuel in it so that it would get hot enough and stay hot enough to boil water. It certainly could, but I don’t know for sure.In spite of being so tiny, this grill is really quite heavy for its size. That is good, because that means it is nice and sturdy, but on the other hand, I don’t think it’s something I would take backpacking, when I have to carry it all day. Camping at a campground, where everything is carried there in a car, would be fine.So, the materials are sturdy. The base is made of very heavy, well it looks like wire, but it’s far too heavy to call it . there are several pieces which need to be unfolded and assembled in order to set up the grill. The instructions are clear, and set up is easy. However, because everything folds to create a nice small size for packing up, I kept feeling like, if I needed to move the grill once it was set up, but there was some danger of it folding up a bit. I was very careful putting on and removing the grill section, to be sure that I didn’t bump anything out of place. I didn’t, the grill stayed properly assembled, but that is the one change that I would make - the base at least needs to lock in some fashion so that the grill could be picked up and moved if need be without worrying that the base might fold up and drop hot coals where they don’t belong. I move the grill a little bit after it was all set up and with the charcoal in it. It was a very windy day, and the matches kept blowing out before the charcoal could light. so I picked up the whole thing and set it inside the back of my van, lit it, and immediately moved it back outside onto my little table. It worked fine, but as I said, I felt like I had to be extremely careful.So, the pros are that this grill is exactly as described, very small and very compact. It folds up into a small carrying case and all the component parts are very sturdy and well-made. The grill works as described.The cons are that the base does not lock into place and although the way the parts fit together does hold the grill in place reasonably well, it feels as if it could shift out of position if care is not taken. And the grill is quite heavy, so it might not be the best choice for a backpacking trip, although it is a nice little grill for cooking small meals when camping.If you were thinking of purchasing this grill, read the measurements and description carefully so that you understand how tiny it really is. It was perfect for cooking for one person, and I am happy with it for the purpose that I planned to use it for.

I got this for my screened in porch coffee table. I wanted to be able to have a fire that smelled like wood, and not those little gas ones that are for tabletop. I bought the small seven inch size. It came well packaged and in a canvas carrying bag which was inside a box.It was very easy to assemble all the pieces worked perfectly and I had a nice little fire and it smelled like wood. I washed it and dried it like they said it's in the directions, but the stainless steel stays tarnished once it's heated up, which other reviews have stated.Because this is on a wood coffee table, which is on a wood porch. I bought a fire retardant mat to protect the wood. I also bought a small home fire extinguisher in case things got out of hand.But, no big issues; it was beautiful. The only thing I noticed is that the grill top warped a little bit from the heat. I tried to show it in the picture but I don't know if it came out very well. Not a big deal, but I don't know if it will get worse with use. I've only used it once. I enjoyed everything. I would definitely get this again. I paid just under $35. If my husband and I start camping again, I might even get the large one. We have large portable fire pits already, but this compacts, and it is much easier to carry around.The coffee mug is a ten ounce mug just to show you the size of the grill.As a side note, I somehow mysteriously lost the insert with holes. I have reached out to the company to see if you can buy replacement parts. I will update this when there isnew information
