Telescope Collapsing Fire Pit

This fire pit provides both heat and entertainment to people wanting to spend time outside. It is compact and portable, while still large enough to burn full sized logs.

Design Details

Technology

Chimney starters are devices that help catch coals on fire for barbecues without the use of lighter fluid. They use a empty lower chamber that can be filled with paper or fire starters to rapidly light the coals. This fire pit uses similar technology to help light logs that may be damp or cold, with a lower chamber separated from the body by a grate.
