The Concord Dragon's Breath is a 12 by 12 inch propane fire bowl, 7 inches tall, weighing 16 pounds before you add the included 20 pounds of lava rock. The number that matters is 200,000 BTU, which is several times a typical portable propane pit and produces flames up to about 3 feet. It adjusts down to a simmer for a normal evening. The frame is fully powder-coated heavy steel, and the regulator's control knob sits away from the fire box so you are not reaching over flame to adjust it. A lid with a built-in carrying handle covers it for transport and weather. A 1-inch U-pipe burner spreads heat evenly rather than concentrating it in the middle. Best fit: camping, tailgating, small patios where a wood fire is not allowed, and anyone who wants heat without smoke or ash cleanup.
Pros
- 200,000 BTU with roughly 3-foot flames, then adjusts down to a simmer
- No smoke and no ash, so nothing to clean out and nothing in your clothes
- Control knob sits away from the fire box, so you adjust without reaching over flame
- Lid with a carry handle is included, so it packs for camping or tailgating
Cons
- At 200,000 BTU it goes through propane fast, so a 20-pound tank will not last as many evenings as a lower-output pit
Frequently asked questions
What size propane tank does it use?
It runs off a standard 20-pound propane tank via the included regulator. At full output it consumes fuel quickly, so plan on a spare for longer trips.
Do I need to buy lava rocks?
No. About 20 pounds of lava stones are included, which is what spreads the flame across the bowl.
Is it safe on a wooden deck?
Use a heat-resistant mat underneath and follow the clearances in the manual. The bowl radiates significant heat downward at full output.
Can I cook over it?
It is built as a fire pit, not a grill. It is fine for s'mores on skewers, but there is no grate for cooking.
