BioLite FirePit+
Want to enjoy the warmth, smell, crackle and feel of a wood campfire without any of the suffocating smoke? Biolite’s FirePit+ is your smokeless solution. Their portable fire pit’s patented air flow system ensures hyper-efficient flames and clean combustion, so you don’t have to worry about it getting in your eyes or on your clothes. Designed for a variety of outdoor activities, their high-tech design allows you to cook dinner, roast marshmallows, or simply kick back and relax all at your own convenience.
Using either charcoal or wood for fuel, it has a durable enamel coating and larger perforations within the mesh, allowing a more radiant heat for those cooler nights. We also love that this versatile charcoal grill has four fan speeds to choose from, allowing you to control the size of the flames, and the removable grill is ideal for hibachi-style cooking. Best of all, the unit includes a rechargeable battery to operate the fan and a free app to control the fire pit via Bluetooth. – AU$446

Available in a variety of iterations, the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer features a 60-minute chronograph, 24-hour subdial, and touch-activated power reserve indicator.
