Compact Portable Fire Pit

Abstract

The disclosed technology includes a portable fire pit. In one example, the portable fire pit includes a housing defining a housing cavity and an opening to the housing cavity, and a burner positioned within the housing cavity. The housing includes a front wall that defines a length of the housing, a sidewall that defines a width of the housing, and a base. A distance between the base and the opening defines a height of the housing, and the height is greater than the width. The burner includes a first arm coupled to a second arm in a spaced apart configuration, and a plurality of holes on a top surface of the first and second arms. The first and second arms extend parallel to one another and to the front wall.

         7 . The portable fire pit of  claim 1 , wherein the burner is positioned within the housing cavity such that the plurality of holes are at least 2″ from the housing. 
     
     
         8 . The portable fire pit of  claim 1 , wherein the burner is positioned within the housing cavity such that the burner is closer to the opening than the base. 
     
     
         9 . The portable fire pit of  claim 1 , wherein the burner is positioned within the housing cavity such that the burner is at least 3.75 inches above the base. 
     
     
         10 . The portable fire pit of  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a plurality of supports extending from the base. 
     
     
         11 . The portable fire pit of  claim 1 , wherein the front wall of the housing comprises a plurality of apertures. 
     
     
         12 . A waterproof portable fire pit, comprising:
 a housing defining a cavity, the housing comprising:
 a front wall, 
 a rear wall opposing the front wall, 
 a left side wall extending between the front wall and the rear wall, 
 a right side wall opposing the left side wall, 
 a base extending between the front wall and rear wall and the left side wall and right side wall, and 
 lid coupling components coupled to the left side wall and configured to couple a lid to the housing to seal the cavity with a waterproof seal, 
 wherein the front wall, rear wall, left side wall, and right side wall form an opening to the cavity; and 
   a burner positioned within the cavity, wherein the burner comprises a first arm and a second arm parallel to the first arm, wherein the first arm is spaced apart from the front wall a first distance and the second arm is spaced apart from the rear wall a second distance, wherein the first distance and second distance are the same.   
     
     
         13 . The waterproof portable fire pit of  claim 12 , wherein the burner is positioned a distance from the base that is at least half a height of the left side wall. 
     
     
         14 . A method of manufacturing a portable fire pit, comprising:
 removing a coating from an ammo can;   forming an aperture in a side of the ammo can;   forming a burner with a first arm and a second arm parallel to the first arm;   forming a plurality of holes in the first and second arms;   positioning the burner in a cavity of the ammo can;   coupling the first arm to a coupling received within the aperture; and   coupling a port to the coupling, wherein the port is positioned outside the ammo can.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising adding a heat resistant material layer to the ammo can. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the first and second arms comprise a first pipe and a second pipe, and forming the burner comprises coupling the first and second pipe so that the first and second pipe are parallel.
