Product Description
Some of the best outdoor memories happen around a fire. The City Bonfires Portable Fire Pit makes it easier to bring that warm bonfire feeling to patios, campsites, beach nights, picnics, and backyard evenings without hauling firewood or cleaning up ash afterward.
Handmade in Maryland, this compact tabletop fire pit uses food-grade soy wax and plant-based briquettes to create a smokeless flame in a reusable steel tin. At just 4 inches wide and 2 inches tall, it is small enough to pack along for outdoor adventures while providing a total burn time of approximately 3–5 hours.
Light it for an evening outside, extinguish it with the lid, let it cool completely, and relight it another time until the fuel is used. It can also be used as an outdoor cooking source, making it especially fun for roasting marshmallows and turning an ordinary evening outside into s’mores night.
Whether it comes along to the campground or simply lands in the middle of a backyard gathering, City Bonfires gives families an easy way to add a little firelight to the moments they want to linger outside.

Built for Real Outdoor Use
Campfires have a way of slowing everyone down. They invite one more story, another marshmallow, and a few extra minutes outside after the sun disappears.
City Bonfires brings that same gathering point to places where building a traditional wood fire may not be practical. Keep one ready for backyard evenings, camping weekends, lake days, tailgates, or spontaneous s’mores nights when the family decides the day outside is not quite finished yet.
Things to Know
- Outdoor use only: City Bonfires specifies that this product must only be used outdoors.
- Use a heat-resistant surface: Place the fire pit on a flame-resistant, level surface or trivet. Do not place it directly on furniture, glass, wood, cork, or other flammable surfaces.
- Live flame: Review all included safety instructions before lighting and supervise use appropriately around children and pets.
- Do not move while burning: Never touch or move the fire pit while it is in use.
- Extinguishing: Replace the lid to extinguish the flame, then allow the fire pit to cool completely before moving it.
- Reusable, not refillable: The fire pit can be extinguished and relit until its 3–5 hours of total burn time are used, but the manufacturer states it is not refillable.
