What is fire pit and how does it work?

First of all for beginners who doesn’t have fire pit and never used before, let me explain what is fire pit and how it works.

As the name suggests, a fire pit is a stand for starting a bonfire.

Do I need a gear to start a bonfire?

If you are wondering this, I can confidently say that the answer is, “It’s definitely better to have one.” About Ecology I Learned Overseas, bonfires have a slight impact on the natural environment, and bonfire stands are used to limit that impact. It can be made smaller.

In Japan, If your campsite doesn’t have a built-in fire pit or fire pit, you’ll basically need one.

Also, depending on the type of bonfire pit, there are models that have secondary combustion. Secondary combustion is a model that is suitable for cooking bonfires because it can produce higher temperature firepower by re-burning the smoke and gas produced by burning wood. In addition, many secondary combustion models are compact, making them suitable for solo camping.

There are also large differences in shape, from rectangular models to trapezoidal models, from ones with a solid base to easy-to-assemble bonfire stands and ultra-lightweight types. Bonfire stands vary depending on your preference and purpose.

There are over 100 types of bonfire stands available in Japan, varying in size, material, shape, and function.

Belkroot’s En., which we would like to introduce this time, is unusual among the many bonfire stands because it is circular, and it is a stylish and fashionable bonfire stand that is a little different from other bonfire stands as it can be stored compactly!

The most coolest fire pit “En” from Belkroot

Among the many bonfire stands, the one I would like to introduce this time is En., which is sold by Belkroot. The brand Belkroot seems to have the meaning of mountain expert, and it is a state-of-the-art camping gear brand that sells gear for hardcore campers and expert campers.

En. was released a few years ago after raising funds through crowdfunding, and at first only those who invested in crowdfunding could obtain it, but now it’s officially sold on Amazon, so it’s easy to get started.

When I first found this bonfire stand, it was difficult to get into a campfire and the only way to get in was by buying it at a high price on Rakuten or Amazon, so I was reluctant to buy it, but this year I finally got my long-awaited En. did!

The most famous circular bonfire stand is probably the Coleman fire disc. This is a product that is always available at home centers and famous outdoor shops.

Unlike bonfires with corners, circular bonfires don’t have to worry about which way to put the firewood in, and they look great and are perfect for having a campfire. The biggest advantage of a circular bonfire stand is that you can enjoy a bonfire intuitively with a feeling similar to an real ground fire.

I think the fire disc is also a good bonfire stand, but I don’t think it’s innovative in any way. However, what about this En.?

It is a circular bonfire stand and can be folded compactly. In the end, it can be stored in B4 size and weighs 595g, which is quite light.

I thought this folding feature was a truly innovative idea! In addition, the appearance and the trivet system make it feel like a bonfire stand that incorporates minimal elements and functionality, which will stimulate the hearts of campers.

My impressions after actually using En

My impressions after actually using En. were, “It’s amazing!” I’m also impressed that it can be stored in B4 size. What attracted me most was its appearance.

You can find out how to assemble it by looking at the official website, but it is intuitive, so you can easily assemble it after reading the instructions first.

One of the reasons why it is recommended is that it has a trivet system, which makes it easy to place the frying pan when cooking.

I personally think that the biggest advantage of En. is that you don’t have to worry about placing firewood. With a rectangular bonfire, you have to be very careful about which direction to throw the firewood on.

The bonfire pot I used before was rectangular and compact, so I had to be careful about the length and angle of the firewood, but the En. is circular no matter what angle you put it in, so the firewood won’t fly out. (And it looks great!)

Another thing I like about En. is that the circular part is small and can be stored together. Honestly, the idea of making a round bonfire stand smaller by folding it in 1/4 increments made me want it the moment I saw it. It’s a gadget that really tickles a man’s heart.

The last thing I would like to point out is that the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you get grill marks on the griddle and the more flavor you get. I personally like this. The official website points out that it may deform due to heat, but I don’t notice it after using it. I think it’s rare to find a bonfire stand that doesn’t change shape because it’s an assembly type bonfire.

In fact, in recent years, various upgraded versions of the En. Please take a look and choose the item that suits your camping style!

That’s all for Belkroot’s introduction to En. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact us!
