At only about 14.5 pounds, including lid, the Tye Works Fire Pan is less than 1/2 of the weight of traditional “outfitter” fire pans, without sacrificing features or performance. You can’t drive a truck over it, or use it as an anchor, but it will light up your nights for many years. Fire Pans are required on many wilderness rivers. They protect soil and contain the ashes following the “leave no trace” ideal of wilderness camping. The Tye Works Fire Pan has been tested (in various configurations) for years on river and camping trips. It is now ready for the rest of the world to enjoy. The Light Weight Fire Pan by Tye Works measures 17″ x 23″ (inside dimensions) and stands 5 1/2″ off the ground. Its 3″ lip meets Forest Service (USFS) and National Park Service (NPS) regulations. The pan itself is light gauge steel reinforced on the bottom. The legs are heavy gauge, square aluminum tubing and bar stock. The adjustable grill is perforated steel sheet, with a 3/8″ rim around it to keep your hot dogs from rolling off into the sand. Legs and the grill easily disassemble to fit inside the pan. A heavy gauge aluminum lid keeps everything in its place. Tye Works Fire Blankets (not included) also fit inside the disassembled pan. Please be aware that firepan requirements vary by river. Check before you arrive at the put in. Use of a Fire Pan is not a substitution for common sense fire management practices. Always pack out your ash.
