The Howl R1
THE MOST PORTABLE, PACKABLE PROPANE FIRE PIT.
Can you toss it on your back and fly off a cliff?
Yep.
How light is it?
11 pounds, about the same as two chihuahuas. Exhaustive research has found that a very cute two-and-a-half-year-old can carry it clear across camp.
How big is it?
Think of a shoebox or a 6-inch stack of printer paper. That’s it. The R1 fits in Decked Drawers, RV cubbies, van garages, Aluboxes, rooftop cargo carriers – really anywhere you can think of.
Does it have folding legs?
You bet your BTUs it does. The R1's Gullwing legs flip out for a steady stance at camp, then fold in for tight packing.
THE MOST FUEL-EFFICIENT FLAMES.
How do exposed flames make your tank last longer?
When you hide your flame at the bottom of a box, you have to crank the fuel just to get the flame to appear above the walls. That drains your tank. Since the R1 has no walls, every bit of fuel you burn becomes light you can use.
What size tank should you use?
We recommend a 10-, 11-, or 20-pound tank. Which one you choose just depends on your space requirements and how far it is to your next resupply.
Is the flame adjustable?
Yep. The R1 comes with an infinitely adjustable pressure regulator, so you can adjust the flame height to your exact needs.
How can it make taller flames with less fuel?
When you were a kid, you probably put two lighters together and got a surprisingly tall flame. The R1 is like that on steroids. 160 precision micro-emitters make 160 tiny flames, which all band together to stretch for the sky

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Do your products work with all van models?
Yes! Most of our parts specify compatibility with Mercedes Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, and Ford Transit platforms. Check each product page for exact fitment. Still unsure? Shoot us a message — we’re happy to confirm before you buy.
How long does shipping take?
Orders usually ship within 2–3 business days. Transit time depends on your location, but most U.S. customers receive their order within 5–7 days. You’ll get tracking info as soon as it ships.
Some items may ship separately depending on vendor, inventory, or warehouse location — so you might receive multiple packages for a single order. You’ll get tracking numbers for each one.
Do you offer returns or exchanges?
Yes — we accept returns within 30 days of delivery for unused, uninstalled products in original packaging. Just contact us and we’ll help get the process started.
Please note: Some products ship directly from our vendor partners, and in those cases, the final decision on return eligibility is made by the vendor. We’ll always advocate for you, but policies may vary slightly by brand.
Can I pick up my order locally?
At this time, all orders ship from our warehouse — we don’t offer local pickup. If you’re working with our van build team, parts can be coordinated into your build directly.
Do you offer bulk discounts or fleet pricing?
Yes! We work with upfitters, outfitters, and van builders nationwide. Reach out to us with what you need and we’ll get you a custom quote.
