Cooking in the great outdoors usually means building a fire and lots of firewood, but the 'EcoFire' camping BBQ is designed to eliminate the need for lots of timber to cook and power itself.

Emitting 90% less smoke than a traditional fire, the 'EcoFire' is powered by twigs and uses the additional power of a [power bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trail-series) to keep the unit hot.

Although designed for life on the go or in the bush, the 'EcoFire' camping BBQ is also ideal for utilizing in a backyard or other outdoor space where traditional BBQs or fires just aren't possible to use. Available now for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-smokeless-fire-pit), the 'EcoFire' BBQ is an efficient way for users to create a fire without all the associated emissions.
