REAL BARCOAL HEAT. PACKED DOWN TO FIT WHATEVER YOU CAMP OUT OF.
The HOWL R3 Campfire is built for three-season camping when the forecast is anybody’s guess.
It makes BarCoal radiant heat small enough to live permanently in your truck, van, camper, or DECKED drawer. Fold the legs and it's smaller than a case of longnecks – about half the packed volume of the R4.
This is the middle HOWL: serious heat without stepping all the way up in size or price.
The U-Tube BarCoal rips at 1,100ºF, throwing radiant heat just like wood coals, but without smoke, embers, or ash.
The A-Flame gives you fully-exposed flames, that leap taller with less fuel. One knob runs both burners, so setup is simple: unfold the legs, hook up the tank, light it, and settle in.
The R3 stays lit in wild winds, monsoon rains, whiteout blizzards, and any altitude on earth. It’s UL certified for safety and built for Stage I and Stage II burn bans, wherever gas fires are allowed. Just check your local regs.

THE MOST PACKABLE RADIANT FIRE PIT.
Can it really live in your rig?
Yep. The R3 is so small you'll actually bring the thing. It fits in DECKED drawers, van garages, camper cubbies, trailer boxes, gear lockers, or whatever corner of your rig still has a little air pocket.
How light is it?
20 pounds. Light enough to carry in one hand. Heavy enough to take a beating.
How big is it?
Smaller than a case of longnecks. It's 18 x 12 x 5.8 inches with the legs folded in, or half the packed volume of the R4.
Does it have folding legs?
You bet your BTUs it does. The R3’s GullWing legs flip out for a steady stance at camp, then fold into the frame so the whole fire pit packs down flat and tight.

WORKS IN GNARLY CONDITIONS.
What does it do in strong wind?
The BarCoal’s air intake is completely concealed, so the system is unaffected by 120 mph winds.
The A-Flame windscreen protects the base of the flame from gusts. And if the flame does blow out, it relights itself from the BarCoal’s hot exhaust.
Does it make you warm in wind?
Up to 20 mph, yep. Above that, the R3 keeps burning, but you'll probably want a jacket.
How does it work at altitude?
Perfectly. The R3 keep cranking at any altitude on earth. Air density changes with altitude, but the momentum of the BarCoal fuel jet draws in the correct number of air molecules regardless of air density.
You get clean, complete combustion from Death Valley to Pikes Peak.
What if it rains or snows?
No sweat. The BarCoal and A-Flame burners are self-draining. Even after days of precipitation, they light right up and make you warm. If you get a surprise foot of snow overnight, brush off the HOWL and fire it up.
Make Me Warm
ACTUALLY WARM. LIKE “SCOOT YOUR CHAIR BACK” WARM.
Why don't normal propane fires keep you warm?
Because they only make flames. Flames make hot air, which rises and blows away, leaving you cold.
What makes a wood fire warm?
Coals. Wood coals throw radiant heat. Your body absorbs that radiant energy directly, which is why a good coal bed makes you warm even when it's windy and the air is cold.
How does BarCoal keep you warm?
The steel U-tube hits 1,100ºF and shoots out infrared rays with the same frequencies as wood coals. As your body absorbs those rays over time, your molecules vibrate faster and faster, making you warm.
Does more BTUs mean more heat?
Nah. A BTU rating just tells you how much propane the thing burns. It says nothing about how much heat reaches your body. On max, the R3 uses 64,750 BTUs of fuel per hour. But the real story is the BarCoal turning that fuel into 1,100ºF of radiant heat you can feel.
