Large fire pits require a lot of maintenance, which is why this compact and lightweight option from Solo Stove is so great.

The resulting fire will be largely smokeless and hot, and when the pit isn’t in use, Dad can fold up its legs and store it in the included portable carry bag.

You can buy the scratch-resistant tumbler in one of five elegant colors, and at under 7 inches tall, it’s the perfect size to throw in a bag for a day out.
