I believe no other camping gear has undergone as many design iterations as the portable fire pit. Available in various shapes and sizes, these warmth-radiating units have evolved significantly. With camping season at its pinnacle, we’re seeing a surge in innovative designs, many emerging from platforms like Kickstarter. One standout, though not widely hyped, is the Bush Telly retro-inspired fire pit, which caught my attention for its deserving appeal.
The retro-inspired fire pit not only enhances your outdoor experience but also adds a touch of style to your adventures. This is possible courtesy of its elegant design, which is an instant conversation starter. “Designed to look like a classic telly, it’s a nostalgic nod to the Aussie bush. Only this one runs on timber, not electricity,” the makers state.
Beyond its aesthetic prowess, the Bush Telly serves a functional purpose, too. Unlike traditional fire pits that send warmth scattering in every direction, the Bush Telly is engineered to push heat toward the user. This means I can sit back, relax, and feel the cozy warmth without constantly shifting my chair around the fire.
The Bush Telly comes with an optional stainless steel grill plate, which instantly turns it into a campfire cooking station. Not to mention, it’s made from durable materials and designed to be easy to clean, two must-haves for any piece of camping gear that’s going to survive my trips. It isn’t as compact as the Disco smokeless fire pit, but it folds flat requiring little space in the car, leaving room for other essentials like my tent and cooler. It can fold into a canvas storage bag, which keeps everything tidy and organised.
It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the likes of BioLite FirePit or the Solo Stove. While those are great options with their own high-tech perks, the Bush Telly leans into its charm and simplicity. It’s less about futuristic gadgets and more about blending nostalgia with practicality, a combo that’s hard to resist for someone like me who loves a good mix of old and new.

If you’re like me, someone who gets a thrill from discovering unique products that blend style and substance, I think you’ll love The Bush Telly. It’s not every day you find a fire pit that’s equal parts functional, portable, and downright cool to look at. I’m seriously considering jumping on board as a backer because I can’t wait to see this thing in action on my next trip. If you’re curious, I’d say head over to the Kickstarter page, where it can be preordered at an early bird price of $182.
