-
Outland Fire Bowl
This propane fire pit has been keeping us warm and smoke-free since 2014. Now, it also feed us some delicious meals with our “hacks”.
-
Cooking Grate
This 19 inch heavy duty grate holds all your pots and pans AND can be used over a wood fire with the included legs. (When you’re feeling nostalgic and don’t mind some smoke.)

17" Cast Iron Skillet
Who doesn’t love some classic cast iron cooking? This skillet has enough surface area to feed an army… or a family of 4+ people. Also has walls tall enough to prevent flame-up when cooking greasy, delicious meals.

Auto Ignitor Kit
This hack should probably come from the factory! No more hunting lighters or singeing hairs… just push the button and light ‘er up!
-
Rim Magnets
Don’t have a welder? Grate sliding around on you? Here’s a bolt-on solution! Simply lay on your grate, place this around the rim, mark their location, then drill and bolt them in place. (Careful, not too tight; they’re fragile!)
-
Carry Bag for Grate and Skillet
This padded bag is actually for cymbals but fits the grate and skillet perfectly! (Availability is off and on but find one of similar size.)
-
Fire Pit Cover
While it isn’t a very rugged cover, it does keep the lava rock dust from sifting out all over your rig. A must have if you’re carrying it inside a rig or trailer.
-
Propane Tank Table-Top Cover
If you’re going to have a tank sitting around it might as well serve a purpose, right? This cover helps insulate the tank in cold weather AND had a rigid table top. Pretty handy!
-
Old Fashioned Percolator
You’ve seen it do its fair share in season 1 and 2. This is a great combo for heating your water right on the firepit too!
-
Smaller Skillet Option
We’ve used this guy in the past and it makes for another great option for cooking on the grate. The square shape makes bacon a bit easier too! ‘Cause, if you’re not eating bacon… are you even camping? ;)
-
Lava Rocks
A recent addition for Season 6… these rocks REALLY help with heat retention compared to the included rocks. Just keep in mind they’re a bit heavier!
