Today I will be sharing my Wolf and Grizzly Fire Safe Review. I am not sponsored by Wolf and Grizzly and I purchased the Fire Safe with my own funds (links in this article may be affiliate links, if you purchase an item through these links I may earn a small commission that helps support the channel).
I was in the market for a portable firepit. It needed to be small and light enough to fit in my backpack. Enter the Wolf and Grizzly Fire Safe. It is a portable fire pit that is lightweight and easy to assemble. The M1 grill accompanies the fire safe and allows you to cook with your Fire Safe. I tested the Fire Safe in many different weather conditions on several camping trips and I wanted to share my impressions.

First Impressions of Wolf and Grizzly Fire Safe
My first impression of the Wolf and Grizzly Fire Safe was that it was high quality. It comes in a sleek black carrying case that unzipped like butter. The Fire Safe comes in two pieces. It’s so easy to assemble I could probably do it with my eyes closed. The Fire Safe is made from a high quality stainless steel that looks as if it will stand the test of time.
The first time I used the Fire Safe was on my snow fort campout in snowy, cold conditions. I went to the woods and processed a bunch of wood, then built my first fire in the Fire Safe. One thing to keep in mind is that you will needed small pieces of wood for building a fire in it. The dimensions are less than a foot square, providing a small footprint. That being said, I had no trouble cutting wood to size. Once the fire is going, you can use larger pieces of wood.
Wolf and Grizzly have a sister product called the M1 grill that is manufactured to be in tandem with the Fire Safe. I purchased it as well and used it in my testing. The M1 grill is of similar high quality and is easy to use. I cooked several meals using the Fire Safe and M1 grill and loved how everything turned out.
You can also use charcoal with the Fire Safe, but I did not test it. I purchased the Fire Safe primarily for wood fires, but it is nice to know that I can use charcoal in it as well.
As far as cost, the Wolf and Grizzly Fire Safe is not cheap. As of this writing, it cost $89.95 on both the Wolf and Grizzly website and Amazon. The M1 grill goes for $99. You can purchase both in a bundle on the Wolf and Grizzly website for $189.95.
Tips for Using the Fire Safe
When using the Fire Safe with wood, be sure to have lots of short pieces. The wood burns faster when it is smaller so you will need more wood. You can use larger logs, just use your judgement. DO NOT put water directly onto the Fire Safe when it is still hot. This could warp the stainless steel and void your warranty. Wait until the Fire Safe cools off and then dispose of the ashes in a responsible way. When I used the M1 grill in conjunction with the Fire Safe, I would out the grill frame over the Fire Safe right away and build the fire under it. That way, I would ensure it would fit over the Fire Safe and not be blocked by a log or stick.
Final Thoughts
I am IN LOVE with the Wolf and Grizzly Fire Safe. This company has hit the ball out of the park with their high quality products. I would 100% recommend the Fire Safe. Its small size, high quality construction, and ease of use are the main factors contributing to my recommendation. While the price is a bit high, you need to consider that you will only ever need one of these; as long as you take care of it, the Fire Safe will last a lifetime.
