Vertical campfire device

Abstract

A vertical campfire containment device comprising, a circular top ring, a base member smaller than the circular top ring, plurality of vertical support members, and plurality of support legs. The vertical campfire containment device provides a structure where wood and other solid fuels are placed into and burned. The vertical nature of the containment device allows individuals to quickly create a campfire that is raised off of the ground allowing the ample supply of oxygen and moving smoke higher and away from the individuals surrounding the fire.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to campfires and more specifically to a device that is adapted to contain a campfire above the ground to allow for added oxygen flow and smoke dissipation.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Conventional campfire or fireplace fuel holding structures consist of a ring structure or grate structure to contain the fire from spreading in a campfire setting and supporting the fuel and preventing collapse in a grate setting. Traditional campfire rings are designed to be placed onto the ground and the wood or fuel is placed within this ring keeping the fire contained within this area. Despite these rings simplicity, they hold the fire low to ground, allowing the fire to be at the feet of user causing the smoke from the fire to rise towards the head and respiratory system of the user. This makes the traditional campfire less desirable due to the discomfort smoke causes.[0005]Traditional fire ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention provides a vertical campfire containment device comprising a top ring, and a base member smaller than the top ring. The top ring and base member are spatially connected by a plurality of vertical support members, wherein the connection results in a funnel

Problems solved by technology

This makes the traditional campfire less desirable due to the discomfort smoke causes.

Due to the uneven shape of wood, stacking wood on these styles of grates can be difficult and, still further, becomes dangerous as the wood burns and can topple over creating an additional fire hazard.

This type of vertical support is not ideal as it does not support smaller logs or kindling and still may become dangerous as wood burns and falls off the support structure.
