Partner Steel Mini Fire Pan - Camp fire pan
This is a Mini Fire Pan, has no frills, just a simple steel box made from 14Ga soft steel. One side slides into the other, making an open fire pan that measures from 15 to 25 inches long x 13 1/2 x 3 1/4. With the pan closed, it is a compact 15 x 13 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. It is intended to be placed directly on the ground with rocks under the fire pan. Reasoning behind having the rocks is to keep the fire pan off the ground as heat scorches the ground and nothing will grow there for about 7 years. All pans are Forest Service approved for camping on all rivers, including the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.

Size: 15 to 25 inches long x 13 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches
Compact size: 15 x 13 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches
Weight: 15 lbs.
Grand Canyon Fire Pan 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.
