Especially designed to use with the Biolite portable FirePit, the Biolite FireMat is built to reflect radiant heat, making it an ideal solution for decks, patios, lawns, and other sensitive surfaces. Perfect for camping, it can protect the picnic table provided on your camping site, or your own fold-up table. It can also be used as a heat shield between the grill and your camper when the only level ground you have for grilling is too close to the camper exterior. The FireMat packs up easily and is ready for your next burn.
