Exactly!
And it really does work great, packs up well, etc. We actually have started to prefer it over the smoke and have sort of used it exclusively.

Only downside is when your kids don't watch their marshmallows and they fall into the lava rock....
Old school firepit was better for that...
And by kids I mean our 16 and 23 year old...

You hit on everything I was going to mention perfectly.
I have had the LavaBox for a couple years and loved it but I just received the Ignik as a gift this spring and honestly I’ve been using the Ignik more due to all your reasons but mainly due to my 10# tank lasting longer. Make sure to get the rocks they sell with it.

The fire rocks or the moon rocks?

I bought the optional bag. Everything fits in it well. Pack it up like anything else.

I missed the bag option but it came with a carry handle. I just threw it in the back of my truck.
I would suggest the bag though as I'm sure it makes everything easier.

We have been running this camp chef pit for a lot of trips back home in colorado when there is a big fire ban. Its nice that its totally fire ban legal. We often run it with a 11lbs propane bottle that hardly takes up much space, it last us brought 15 hours of burn time.

We recently bought the Outland Living Fire Cube. It's a little smaller than their fire bowl and square which makes it easier to pack. We considered the Lavabox, Ignik, and other similar options, but this won out for us. We just used it on a weeklong trip in New Mexico (no fire bans, but we opted to use this instead of a wood fire). With a 20 lb tank, we were able to use it for a while each evening and morning.

I have owned a "Camp Chef" brand propane camp fire pit for a decade or so. The model I have is an older version of this one I think:

Works pretty good!

I did this many years ago.

Maybe a bit small for what you want but this Ammo box Firepit from another thread looks like a nice solution.

Stupid simple.
Galvanized trashcan lid. The 1/2" aluminum tubing has 1/16th inch holes drilled every 2 inches to let the propane out and the end is hammered flat. The aluminum tubing is held to the pan by 1/2" Electrical Metallic Tube (EMT) fasteners. The part that extends from the lid is about 12" too long. I just never bothered to shorten it.
I just put right inside rock campfire rings when they have them or make one and tear it down afterwards.
I have one of these. I like it, but I'd get the Deluxe version that's also made to cook on if I were to do it again.On my last trip, three diff people had this unit. Worked pretty well. I think I’m going to get one too.

I actually just picked up the Elite version.
FireCan Elite Fire Pit
The next evolution of the FireCan, with more power, lighter weight and more control, lets you take your campfire further. MORE HEAT – CSA Certified, a powerful OVER 50K BTU/Hr. heat output. MORE COMPACT – Tucked-away Quick-release connector and Flame controls on the FireCan. LIGHTER & MORE...
ignik.com
The deluxe adds unnecessary complexity and is too small to “cook” much more than a couple of hot dogs or hamburgers. Then you are going to have a greasy, smelly mess. No thanks.
BTW, never pay full retail for Ignik they are constantly on sale. Picked up the Elite for $185 during Labor Day sales.

Some of our friends had one of these recently in northern MI and I thought it worked very well so would recommend as well.
