The original regulator with the red dial on top was too flimsy. It broke, leaving the dial to just spin without turning on the gas. This new regulator with a solid metal separate valve is so much better. Just a heads up that it makes a little more noise than the first one, but I like that. I know right away that the gas is flowing.

I did not know what to expect when I received the box. It went from wow! To totally amazed at the quality of the fireplace. You can see the quality and care building them. It's easy to set up or put away, saves a lot of space because of the design. Works great, easily adjustable flame, and looks so good. The only minor improvement would be to use better zippers on the bag, but otherwise, we love it.

We have a camper, and the lavabox is a perfect addition when there's a fire ban. Used it last night, it is well made and throws a lot of heat. Great value compared to others which don't include a bag and other addons

TLDR: The team at Lavabox not only makes an awesome product in their Hekla combo, but their customer service is among the best I have ever experienced. Massive thanks to the Lavabox team, we love our Hekla!

I purchased my Hekla just before Thanksgiving and have had nothing but positive experiences with the folks at Lavabox; purchase was very easy and was shipped quickly. The combo arrived the day before Thanksgiving, and I was excited to try it that night, the system is very easy to set up, but I was disappointed at the height of the flame as it seemed very low compared to photos and reviews I had seen.

I sent a note to the team at Lavabox that night expecting I would hear back sometime the following week, but my experience truly surprised me. I received an email from Syotr on their staff Thanksgiving morning, as well as confirmation that a new regulator had been shipped to help fix the fire height issue. This team goes the extra mile to ensure that people love their purchases and it really shows. Moreover, the range and heat that the Hekla puts off for such a small piece of equipment is incredible. My wife and I use the firepit regularly and she has now freely admitted that, “it is the single best piece of camping equipment,” that I have ever purchased. Safe to say, there is no higher praise than that.

Thank you Lavabox team!

I’ve been using the Lavabox portable camp fire for a while now, and it has easily become one of my favorite pieces of outdoor gear. The build quality is excellent — solid, durable, and clearly designed for real outdoor use. It lights up quickly and produces a clean, consistent flame without the usual mess and smoke of traditional campfires.

Heat output is impressive for its size. It keeps you warm on cold nights and works perfectly for cooking or just creating a cozy camp atmosphere. The portability is another huge plus: it packs down small and is light enough to carry anywhere, whether you’re camping, overlanding, or just having a quick fire in the backyard.

What I love most is the convenience. No gathering wood, no smoke in your clothes, and no ashes to deal with. It’s truly a “grab and go” fire solution.

Overall, Lavabox exceeded my expectations — safe, powerful, and extremely practical. Highly recommended for anyone who wants the comfort of a real fire without the hassle. Perfect for both camping and everyday use.

Bought a Hekla a couple of years ago. It's been great in the summer when there is always a burn ban and in winter when you really want to crank up the flame for heat (more-so than that other Scandinavian sounding but Chinese made fire pit). On my last trip the red plastic regulator dial broke. The folks at Lavabox have since moved on to a new hose design with a proper brass valve and sent me this new one. They really stand behind their product. Thanks guys!

Wow, the Hekla definitely does not disappoint. This is an item that I would never live without. Make sure you grab yours. great quality excellent materials, and amazing customer service.
