Glastonbury, CT (May 29, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — PACKFIRE announces the upcoming launch of the Ember™ 10-inch Fire Pit and the Ember Surface Guard™ Protective Mat, expanding the brand’s lineup of portable fire solutions. Launching in early June 2026, the Ember™ delivers on warmth and atmosphere of a real wood-burning fire in a lightweight foldable design, while the Surface Guard™ protects heat-sensitive surfaces.

Built for the beach, the tailgate, the float trip, the overland camp – places you couldn’t get your last fire pit to. Ember™ is compact enough to move from a patio table to the campsite, beach, tailgate, or on your next fishing trip. Designed with PACKFIRE’s Clearburn™ smokeless burn system, Ember™ recirculates airflow to reburn smoke before it escapes — cleaner burn, more heat, less rotating chairs.

“Like our signature PACKFIRE fit pit, the Ember was designed for the moments that happen after the big adventure — after the long bumpy drive, the chilly 4 am sunrise hike, the long-awaited hunt, the wet day on the water,” said Jeff Polke, Founder at PACKFIRE. “People still want the experience of sitting around a real fire. Ember makes that possible in a compact form that packs down flat and sets up in seconds.”

Constructed from durable stainless steel and aluminum, the Ember™ features a foldable, tool-free design that packs into a portable carry case for easy transport and storage. At just 7.4 pounds combined weight with the carry case, Ember™ was meant to fit in your rig overstuffed with gear for weeks off the grid. Fits behind the rear seats. Sets up before the sun goes down.

Key product features include:

• Smaller 10-inch size to fit into the tight spaces in your rig
• Clearburn™ smokeless burn system for hotter burns and cleaner flames
• Foldable stainless steel and aluminum construction
• Tool-free setup with included stand and wood-burning chamber
• Carry case included for easy transport and storage
• Burns kindling and small wood pieces for a real wood-burning fire experience

To complement the Ember™, PACKFIRE is also launching the Surface Guard™ Protective Mat, made of a durable silicone material designed to help shield tables, wooden and composite decks, patios, and other outdoor surfaces from radiant heat and ember drop. The 13-inch Surface Guard™ is lightweight, flexible, easy to clean and is specifically sized for the Ember™ 10-inch fire pit.

The Ember™ 10-inch Fire Pit and Surface Guard™ Protective Mat will be available beginning in early June through PACKFIRE.com and select retail partners.
