Pros

- Single listing, no variants — the star is a read of this exact bowl
- 304 stainless burner and a named certifying agency at a budget price
- Cover, carry kit, lava rock and a 10-ft hose included; 23 lb
Cons
- No igniter — you light it with a lighter, and three of the ten newest critical cards did not know that
- Low-flame and regulator complaints: 'only works on low', 'flame stopped getting high after 2 uses', a knob area that caught fire
- Carry straps 'way too loose'; the lid has no handle
- Not returnable per two owners; five of thirteen visible cards are from Mexico, Canada and the UK
Low flame and the regulator — 'Lit fire bowl for first time and have had low flame issues continuously… also caught fire underneath knob adjustment' (Feb 2026), 'Flame stopped getting high after 2 uses' (Jan 2026), 'Only works on low… changed out regulator' (Dec 2025), 'fussy with different propane tanks'. Second theme: no igniter — three owners expected one. Third: loose carry straps, no lid handle, not returnable.

Pro review “The Firebowl line of portable and no-mess propane fire pits from Outland Living is simple to use and performs exactly as expected. Each has a 58,000 BTU output and generates great heat without the embers, ash, smoke, or maintenance of a wood-burning fire pit.”Good Housekeeping's 'Best for Camping' entry is the 24-inch Mega; this quote describes the Firebowl line. What differs: the 893 is the 19-inch Deluxe — same 58,000 BTU burner and build, a smaller bowl and 23 lb against 34 lb. OutdoorGearLab (updated March 2026) says it tested the Deluxe too and prefers the Mega for most people.— Dan DiClerico, Good Housekeeping Institute Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab, Good Housekeeping

Record
- — Carded as the best propane fire bowl: 4.8 stars across 17,773 on a single no-variant listing, the propane pick that recurs across the testing outlets, a 304 burner and a CSA-tested model number at about $160; its tail is low flame and the igniter it does not have.
✓ Safety: no active recall — CPSC SaferProducts API queried 2026-09-06 by ProductName= ('fire pit', 'propane fire pit', 'fire bowl' and the brand name): no recall of a residential propane fire bowl or concrete fire table 2023–2026; the 2025–26 tabletop-fire-pit recalls are the ethanol 'flame-jetting' class, a different fuel. Propane: outdoor use only; every manual carries the same carbon-monoxide warning, and the manufacturers' shelter clause (a roof with no more than two side walls, or three walls with 30% of the perimeter open) is the definition of 'outdoors'. Outland's manual (per our research read; not re-read by us) puts the bowl on a non-combustible surface and not under an overhead combustible surface.
