Choose the Right FireCan for You: OG vs. Elite vs. Deluxe
The Fresh scent of pine streams through your rolled down window while your trusty adventure mobile bumps rhythmically along down a rocky dirt road. A smile spreads across your face in anticipation of an amazing evening with loved ones, sitting around a fire and enjoying the fresh air. Then, you spot a familiar sign approaching, featuring Smokey the Bear, and your heart sinks as the fire danger arrow points firmly in the orange zone… Very High Fire Danger. Suddenly, your weekend camping plans feel threatened by the dreaded burn ban.
We’ve all been there - excited for a weekend getaway, only to face restrictions that put a damper on your campfire plans. But maybe you are new to the world of camping and outdoor adventure, wanting to learn more. If burn ban levels and their restrictions are an unfamiliar topic, it’s a good idea to do some research before heading out on your first trip. If you are here in Washington state with us at Ignik, or not, be sure to check out the Washington State Parks for a breakdown on Fire restrictions . For a deeper understanding of what all the colors on the good ol’ Smokey’s sign even mean, the National Forest Service is a great resource. Before you leave, check the fire restrictions in the area you’ll be heading to because it can vary from one part of a state to another.
If the burn ban is bringing you down, fear not! Ignik has crafted the perfect solution: the FireCan Portable Fire Pit collection. With three distinct models, choosing the right FireCan can feel overwhelming with such amazing options, so let’s break it down together. Before we get too deep, if reading isn’t your thing, I have the perfect FireCan Comparison Video if you’d prefer a cinematic learning experience.

At the end of the day nothing beats a wood-burned fire, staining your clothes with the smell of sweet memories in the great outdoors. I don’t know about you, but my childhood guilty pleasure was sniffing my favorite blanket for a week after a camping trip to huff every last molecule of that charred wood smell out of its cozy wilderness embrace. So, trust me, we get it. But when we’re choking on dusty, smokey air out here in Washington every year, wildfires running rampant on previously untouched land, it makes you think that maybe it really is time we Give Up The Campfire, and bring in the FireCan.
No matter which FireCan you pick, you’re set for unforgettable camping adventures. Embrace the outdoors with the warmth of a safe, controlled fire, and create lasting memories with family and friends!
