Steel Fire Pan with Aluminum lid by Cambridge Welding

Fire pans are usually required on overnight river trips that are managed by the NPS, NFS or BLM. Cambridge Welding fire pans are designed to both contain a fire and provide a cooking surface. Steel Outfitter Fire Pans sit off the ground on stands, have adjustable steel grills and outrigger shelves strong enough for a couple of large pails of water or Dutch Oven. Reasoning behind having the legs is to keep the fire pan off the ground as heat scorches the ground and nothing will grow there for about 7 years. The grill and legs fit inside the pan the whole unit stores and packs easily. Cambridge Fire Pan includes the lid. All pans are Forest Service approved for all rivers, including the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Some folks have ask for the lid to be attached to shield off the wind see option below.

Grand Canyon Requirements: Fires

Noncommercial River Trip Regulations, revised April 6, 2010
Gas stoves (propane, white gas, etc.) with sufficient fuel for cooking are required on all trips. Charcoal briquettes may be used for cooking. Wood fires may be used only for warmth or aesthetics. From May 1 through September 30, all wood MUST be carried into the canyon from an outside source. From November 1 through February 28, driftwood from along beaches may be used for warming and aesthetic fires. Gathering of wood from any standing or on-site fallen trees, dead or alive, is prohibited. All wood fires must be contained in a fire pan measuring 300 square inches; the lip of the pan must be 3 inches high on all sides. Charcoal briquettes may be contained in fire pans 12 inches x 12 inches x 3 inches. All ash and fire residue must be carried out of the canyon. Trips launching from October 1 through April 30 must carry an approved fire pan. Wood or charcoal fires are not allowed outside of the river corridor beaches.


The legs on the fire pans only came about the when "no trace camping" was introduced. The reason is that when you burn on the ground nothing will grow for 7 years after. Read about "Leave only Footprints, take only Pictures" , no trace Camping.
