Portable campfire in a can

Abstract

This portable campfire in a can invention is comprised of three components: the canister, the burner and the canister base. These components are integral one to the other and designed to be used in combination with each other in order to achieve designed proficiency. The portable campfire in a can invention is easy to use, compact, clean, safe, and easily transported. The fuel, firewood or manufactured fire logs, is burned in the vertical centered position. The fuel is kept vertical and centered by the log support fingers. Thus providing 360 degrees of combustion. The cylindrical burner shape creates draft necessary to pull concentrated air through the air intake holes thus creating a chimney effect creating maximum combustion. The canister, when placed over the burner and attached to the canister base, smothers the burning campfire. This extinguishing system ensures that the campfire is safely extinguished. The canister and canister base when attached contain the burner and become the self-contained carrying case, allowing for safe clean transportation and storage.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A portable campfire in a can comprising: 
 a canister assembly moveable between a closed position closing an open top of the canister base assembly and an open position exposing the canister base assembly and the burners for use;    a canister base assembly that supports both the lower burner unit assembly and the attached centering ring;    an upper burner unit assembly which fits into the lower burner unit assembly; and    a lower burner unit assembly that accepts the upper burner unit assembly.    
     
     
         2 . A portable campfire in a can comprising: 
 a canister assembly moveable between a closed position closing an open top of the canister base assembly and an open position exposing the canister base assembly and the burners for use;    a sealing ring incorporated into the open end of the canister assembly to assure the sealing with the canister base assembly; and    a group of catch mechanisms used to assure union with the canister base assembly.    
     
     
         3 . A portable campfire in a can as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the canister base assembly includes a sidewall, a bottom wall and an open top.  
     
     
         4 . A portable campfire in a can as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the centering ring is fixed to the canister base assembly.  
     
     
         5 . A portable campfire in a can as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the burners rest on the canister base assembly.  
     
     
         6 . A portable campfire in a can comprising: 
 an upper burner unit with perforated sidewall and open top and open bottom;    a group of log support fingers mounted on the inside of the perforated sidewall;    a group of handle holes located around top and bottom of the perforated sidewall; and    a group of burner support tabs extending around and outward from the perforated sidewall.    
     
     
         7 . A portable campfire in a can comprising: 
 a lower burner unit with perforated sidewall and an open top and closed bottom; and    a burner base plate affixed to form a closed bottom.    
     
     
         8 . A portable campfire in a can as set forth in  claim 1  including a barbeque grill assembly, which can be attached or removed from the upper burner unit assembly.
