It’s  camping season, campers! Time to start rolling out the sleeping bags, filling up the canteens and preparing for a summer of wieners and s’mores.firering

An Ohio-based inventor has created a personalized way to enjoy those evenings by the campfire. Van Dyke’s Portable Fire Ring is made of four panels that interlock to form a square fire ring. Personalization appears on all four panels. Van Dyke’s Portable Fire Ring can be customized with your family name, city and state or other message.

Letters and characters are cut in the steel with advanced waterjet technology. This produces fine detail without weakening the steel like some other processes. This helps keep your message crisp and clean for the life of the fire ring.

The Van Dyke Portable Fire Ring also comes in its own travel case. No fuss. No muss.
