Ignik Outdoors

I love how well the 5.0 Growler fits my truck camping load out! After purchasing my first tank and case I bought a case for my 20 tank. After that I met some of the Ignik team at Expo in Redmond, OR where they had the limited edition 5.0 tank covers and I had to swoop one up quickly! I really appreciate yall being local, your excellent customer service, the great quality products and knowing that your business is family oriented. Keep up the great work!

I thought this looked great in the photos, well, it looks even better in person. The craftsmanship, materials, and quality are next level. IMO, the perfect way to carry, transport, and store my FireCan Elite. Happy to support a product made here in the USA. Thank you Adam, and Ignik.

This little growler got here ans got filled up the same day. Brought it home to test out a new camp stove. Not only did it work, the small size is perfect for me to have on my overnight kayaking trips. All in all super excited to have it.

With all the fire restrictions, this little gem is perfect

Great quality, nice design, and protects my gas cylinder and my car interior from damaging each other.

Great product!! Love the convenience!! Quality build.
Best camping equipment purchase I've made so far.

Worth the extra money. Perfect size.

Your FireCan will fit perfectly in this well made case. The bright orange color means you won't misplace it and compliments the colors of the Deluxe FireCan. The padding of the case protects not only the FireCan from damage but it also protects outside items from the FireCan.

the typical round propane fire pit. Lugging around a 22 inch firepit was just too much work and weight, so I investigated "ammo can" firepits and came across Ignik Firepit. I knew that I wanted more than the basic unit as I wanted to be able to cook on it too so I opted for the Deluxe model. As luck would have it they were on-sale for Father's Day so I took the plunge. I had a chance to use it 2 days ago and it worked perfectly. I cooked chicken thighs, and later we made s'mores on just the fire-box. I added the moon rocks which made for a nice toasty setting.

Just got my elite yesterday and I'm trying it out on my patio.i use half the moonrocks with gas on low and flame is perfect. I would recommend this to anyone well built perfect little fire pit. cant wait for travels it is awesome.

HI, THIS IS VERY GOOD RELAXE. WARMTH, RELAXE
IF WEATHER IS COLD, YOU GET READY TOPSID HEATED BLANKED.
AND SO, YOU HAVE TASTE GOOD CAMPING,

I needed to help keep the tank protected during transport. From the van, to the canoe, to the campsite! It works perfectly. An added benefit was how it keeps the tank quiet! No more metal clanging and banging!

I have the Firecan Elite. As I live in Canada, I got to choose between the Elite and…well…the Elite, but given the choice I would pick this model anyway. That said, I can understand some of the gripes and complaints, as the other two models do not give off the same BTU’s as this model (rated in Canada at 58,000 BTU). I am located in Southwestern BC (Lower Mainland in the Coastal Mountain Range) and over the last three years we have experienced open fire restrictions and outright fire bans from mid May to about end of September. As such we rely heavily on propane fire pits. I am a Scout leader, and within my group we have numerous different models of propane fire pits, some with Lava Rocks and some without. My old fire pit (a locally produced product that I purchased about 12 years ago) used Vermiculite to diffuse and spread the flame, which performed poorly compared to Lava Rocks and subsequently only produced about 29,000 BTU (half of what the Fire Can Elite and other fire pits that use lava rocks puts out).
Our Venture Scout group just came back from a large regional camp where I got to use my Fire Can for the first time. When I first pulled it out I got a lot of comments from other leaders about how tiny it was and the impression that it was going to be basically useless. After using it for three nights in temperature down to about 8°C (about 45°F) they all changed their opinions and numerous other leaders and fellow campers were intrigued by it. We had it on the lowest setting and were able to keep a group of about 10 people warm. Ideally this may not be the best choice for a larger group, but it is more than adequate for a family or 4 to 6 and had no problem keeping our 10+ group warm. It isn’t perfect, but it is definitely better than some fire pits out there. I don’t know how well it would work without the lava rocks, but as I have already had experience with fire pits with and without lava rocks I wouldn’t even try without.
The issues I found with it (what I would like to see changed or improved upon in future models)? First, the hose is too short. I would like to see it at least 8 feet long, and possibly marked with bright colour. I plan to add yellow duck tape to my hose in an alternating (hazard) pattern so it can be easily seen. I do have some concern with the unit being so small if someone were to walk into the hose it could easily tip over the unit. Especially with the shorter hose floating off the ground. I really like the orange silicon feet for when the main feet are in the closed position. It helps to prevent it from sliding around in the back of your vehicle (when it isn’t jam packed with all your other camping gear😉). The problem is they do come off quite easily and you have to be careful not to lose them. My third gripe is with the ends of the unit. The sides have a cut out diamond mesh pattern which visually stands out as well as allowing better radiant heat, but the ends are solid and you can feel the difference with the reduced heat. It would be nice if some of the diamond mesh could be incorporated on the sides to better distribute the heat, making it more usable.
I will note some of the changes you have already made with the Elite (over the original) is a better regulator allowing for higher BTU, the addition of a control knob on the unit as opposed to just controlling it from the tank valve, and moving the inlet pipe to the short side where it is better protected by the legs of the unit. Although it may help to recess it some (if possible).
As I said earlier, we had no problem with 10 people around the unit (except those relegated to the sides without the diamond screen). That was when using the lowest setting. If it was colder the flame can be turned up and doing so definitely gives off considerably more heat but also would burn through the propane much quicker. From our experience we estimated this should last at least 6 to 7 nights (about 4 hours each night) on its lowest setting.
When I first brought this home, my wife immediately asked why, as I already had the other (older) fire pit that I never use anymore. My response was as it was so big, it was too inconvenient to lug around. Not to mention the excess amount of room it took up in my vehicle and the low output. The Vermiculite was also easy to spill and make a mess. These are all problems that the Fire Can Elite overcomes and I look forward to camping with a camp fire once again.
Once I get more experience and use out of it I will update my review, but for now I definitely recommend this product, particularly for families and smaller groups.

Bought this late last summer and worked fine me for one day on our first camping trip. Just got into day three of a three week trip and it doesn’t work. The unit not stays on with the control valve pushed in, which means a sore thump and the choise of either a small flame or no hair left. Looks like the fancy Canadian version’s thermocoupler is a problem. So much for bringing a fire pit during a April trip in northern Canada.

I love this little Fire Can! It puts out a good amount of heat with the FireCan Rocks in there. The ground underneath stays cool too so I don't have to worry about what surface I'm using it on. We used it for an after work evening climb session along with the Gas Growler 5.0 Deluxe and it was the perfect set up. Easy to use, super portable. This will go with me everywhere. I think it will be a perfect little fire for the parking lot at the mountain too and takes up way less space than my portable fire pit.
