A portable wax campfire for outdoor use where fires are permitted

Is this the right fit?

Best for
An outdoor flame where local rules and the manufacturer permit it.
Skip if
Open flames are restricted, the surface is not heat safe, or you need indoor use.
Check before ordering
A wax fire is still an open flame. Confirm local fire restrictions, clearances and the exact pack size; never assume a burn ban permits it.

This Radiate portable campfire is a wax-fueled open flame in a can. Consider it only for outdoor locations where the manufacturer’s instructions and local rules permit its use. It is not an exception to a burn ban. Check current restrictions, heat-safe placement, required clearances, the exact pack size and extinguishing instructions before buying or lighting it. Never use it indoors or leave it unattended.

Pros

  • Compact alternative to carrying a wood fire setup

Cons

  • Still an open flame subject to local restrictions and manufacturer safety instructions

Frequently asked questions

How long does one can burn?

Roughly two to three hours of burn time, and you can put the lid on to snuff it and relight the same can on another night.

Can I cook or roast marshmallows over it?

It produces a real flame and people do roast over it, but it is a soy wax fire rather than a wood fire. Follow the manufacturer's guidance on food use.

Is it allowed during a campfire ban?

Rules vary by park and by ban level. Many restrictions target wood fires specifically, but always confirm with the ranger station before lighting anything.

Does it smoke?

Far less than a wood fire. Reviewers describe light smoke at lighting and snuffing rather than continuous smoke while burning.
