Abstract
A portable fire pit includes adjustable height telescoping legs that provide a cooking height, a campfire height, and a storage height. When in the storage position, a majority of the lower leg portions are disposed alongside the sidewall or intermediate the upper flange and the bottom of the fire pit to provide a compact profile to the fire pit for carrying and storage. The fire pit includes a handle that allows a person to carry the fire pit with a single arm at the user's side. When the legs of the fire pit are in the storage position, a user can pick up the fire pit by the handle and place it in a vehicle or trailer for use in a different location. An airflow cone is provided above the fire box with an angled wall.
Claims18
A fire pit comprising:
- a bottom wall and a sidewall that define a fire box inward of the sidewall and above the bottom wall;
- the sidewall having an upper edge and a lower edge;
- a flange located at and engaging the upper edge of the sidewall;
- the flange having an overhanging portion above the fire box;
- and
- an angled wall positioned between and engaging the sidewall and the overhanging portion of the flange to define an airflow cone at a top of the fire box.
A fire pit comprising:
- a bottom wall and a sidewall that define a fire box inward of the sidewall and above the bottom wall;
- the sidewall including an inner sidewall spaced from an outer sidewall to define an airflow channel;
- at least three telescoping legs;
- each telescoping leg having an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion;
- portions of each of the upper leg portions being located between the locations of the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall;
- the lower leg portion of each leg being selectively movable with respect to the upper leg portion between storage and extended positions;
- and
- when in the storage position, a portion of the lower leg portion being located between the locations of the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall.
A fire pit comprising:
- a bottom wall and a sidewall that define a fire box inward of the sidewall and above the bottom wall;
- the sidewall having an upper edge and a lower edge;
- at least three telescoping legs;
- each telescoping leg having an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion;
- the lower leg portion of each leg being selectively movable with respect to the upper leg portion between a storage position, an extended position, and a fully extended position;
- when in the storage position, a majority of the length of each of the lower leg portions are located intermediate the upper and lower edges of the sidewall;
- and
- when in the extended position, at least some of the length of each of the lower leg portions are located at a position that is lower than the lower edge of the sidewall;
- when a leg is in the fully extended position, all but a short length of the lower leg portion of the leg is located at a position that is lower than the upper leg portion of the leg;
- and
- when a leg is in the fully extended position, the lower leg portion of the leg is pivotable between a first position parallel to the upper leg portion of the leg and a second position outwardly with respect to the upper leg portion of the leg such that the lower leg portion of the leg is not parallel to the upper leg portion of the leg.
A fire pit comprising:
- a bottom wall and a sidewall that define a fire box inward of the sidewall and above the bottom wall;
- the sidewall having an upper edge and a lower edge;
- at least three telescoping legs;
- each telescoping leg having an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion;
- the lower leg portion of each leg being selectively movable with respect to the upper leg portion between storage and extended positions;
- when in the storage position, a majority of the length of each of the lower leg portions are located intermediate the upper and lower edges of the sidewall;
- when in the extended position, at least some of the length of each of the lower leg portions are located at a position that is lower than the lower edge of the sidewall;
- the sidewall including an inner sidewall spaced from an outer sidewall to define an airflow channel;
- a heat shield spaced from and located below the bottom wall;
- and
- the outer sidewall defining a plurality of air openings positioned lower than the bottom wall and higher than the heat shield when the fire pit is supported on a support surface by the legs to provide airflow through the sidewall into a space between the bottom wall and the heat shield.
