A campfire in a metal fire pit is just the thing to take the chill off — and maybe toast some marshmallows.
Now you can tote one along for cold-weather car camping or tailgate parties.
The Corral 26-inch Copper Folding Fire Pit has collapsible legs, a removable screen cover to contain flying embers and a lifting tool for handling the hot screen. Everything fits neatly into the included canvas zippered carrying case, which has built-in handles.
When you're ready to light your fire, just add some wood, and maybe some fire-starter chips, and light 'er up. Sparks can still escape, so don't use it in windy weather.
Corral Copper Folding Fire Pit (item SOR1000), $175, teakwickerandmore.com, 866-263-8325.
