Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe

4.7

$160

The Outland 893 Deluxe is the default portable propane fire pit recommendation across camping, RV, and patio review sites for one simple reason: it works, it's CSA-certified, and it costs half what its rivals charge. At 23 lbs and 19 inches across, it fits in a truck bed or a small patio corner and runs 7+ hours on a 20-lb tank. The reviewer at YuenX scored it 4.35/5 across performance, ease of use, and value after long-term ownership testing.

Strengths

— 4.8/5 across 17,000+ Amazon reviews — one of the most reviewed fire pits on the platform
— 58,000 BTU output in a 23-lb package you can actually load in a truck or RV
— CSA-certified for use during most fire bans — keeps you in fires when wood pits are banned

Watch-outs

— Manual ignition with included flint — no push-button starter
— 19-inch diameter is on the smaller side for groups of more than 4-5 people
— Does not produce the radiant warmth of a wood fire, especially at lower flame settings

Ranked #2 in Best Fire Pits

Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883

4.5

$280

The Outland Mega is Outdoor Gear Lab's favorite portable propane fire pit, scoring 82/100 in their 17-pit test and landing just behind two Solo Stoves overall. At 24 inches across with 58,000 BTUs of output, it bridges the gap between a camping firebowl and a true patio centerpiece. The pre-attached 10-foot hose, CSA fire-ban certification, and 7-9 hour burn time per 20-lb tank make it the easy pick when you want fire without firewood.

Strengths

— Outdoor Gear Lab ranked it #3 of 17 at 82/100 — the top-rated propane pit in their 2026 test
— 58,000 BTU output measured at 600-700F surface temperature, enough to warm 5-6 people
— 10-second push-button ignition works in any weather from 30F to 80F

Watch-outs

— Radiant heat does not match a true wood fire — the reviewer at BackyardToasty said 'For weekend fires where I want the full experience, wood is still king'
— Manual ignition only (no battery-powered starter), so you light it with the included flint each time
— 20-lb propane tank is the practical fuel size, which is not included and needs storage

How they stack up

Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe

Pick the 893 Deluxe over the larger Outland Mega 883 when portability or budget matters — it costs roughly $120 less and packs to half the footprint, but uses the same 58,000 BTU burner. Pick the Mega over the 893 when the pit is going to live on a patio full-time and you want the larger flame ring. Versus the Bond Manufacturing Aurora at a similar price, the 893 wins on review volume and ecosystem accessories (covers, hose extensions, natural gas conversion kits all available from Outland).

Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883

The Mega 883 is essentially a scaled-up Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe — same 58,000 BTU burner, same 10-foot hose, but 5 inches wider, 11 lbs heavier, and built to live on a patio rather than ride in a truck bed. Versus the Solo Stove Yukon 2.0, the Mega gives up real flame ambiance and radiant heat in exchange for instant ignition, zero smoke, and use during fire bans.
