Which flat pack fire pit does the Zutto fit?
The Zutto currently fits the Snow Peak Pack & Carry Takibi M, L and XL. It also fits other flat pack folding fire pits, such as the Campingmoon, Darche, King and Bigfoot Bushcraft fire pits (as long as they are over 13" x 13").
The Zutto comes with a carrying bag. Additionally, all its components (minus lava rocks) fit in the original carrying bag that came with your fire pit for the Takibi L, XL and for the M, though without the cooking grate. It also fits in the larger carrying bags of the other brands of fire pits as long as they are the larger sizes (such as the Campingmoon MT-045 and MT-055).
We are working on a version that will also fit the Snow Peak Takibi S.
If you are interested in a custom 18” version for a Takibi XL, please contact us directly to discuss details and pricing (we would recommend a larger propane source than the standard 20lb tanks).
Are lava rocks really necessary?
The lava rocks help disperse the flames and make a huge difference in radiating and retaining heat. As a matter of fact, it makes such a difference that we never use our Zutto without them.
Not all lava rocks are created equal. Landscaping lava rocks for instance are often full of moisture, not sized properly, have other rocks in them (which can be dangerous when heated). If your lava rocks were exposed to moisture, make sure you dry them off slowly with a low flame before cranking it up.
How long does a 20lb tank last?
The best answer we can give is "somewhere between 4hrs and over 15hrs." Though the burn time is obviously affected by the size of the flame, it is also affected by outdoor conditions and tank sizes. We don't recommend using a tank smaller than 20lbs as smaller volumes tend to drop pressure much faster. One 20lb tank would easily last for a few evenings of modest use, even with some daytime cooking. However if we were camping with others and wanted a larger, more "social" flame, we would bring two tanks (or ask someone to bring one too) so they can be swapped should that need to happen.
We have found that the best size flame is around 6" (15cm) in size.
Can the Zutto be connected to natural gas?
This is kind of a tricky question. We designed the Zutto to burn efficiently with propane, which has a much hotter flame than natural gas, is much heavier and benefits from the air mixer component. That last piece is unnecessary for natural gas and could mix too much air with the gas before ignition. For these reasons, we can’t recommend connecting the Zutto to natural gas.
We are working on a separate connector that could allow switching from one fuel source to another.
Which propane tanks are compatible?
The Zutto uses a standard QCC1/Type 1 connection (or LCC27) at the regulator end of the hose. Other countries might have different thread sizes and an adapter would be required for the regulator hose to fit on your tank. So far, people have been able to find adapters online.
Please refer to the following reference: standard connector use per country.
Please note that quick-couplings (also known as bayonet) don't seem to have adapters available.
So far, here are the adapters that we know work:

Using the Takibi with propane gas through the Zutto is incredibly convenient and practical.. It’s great to have the option of propane in areas where wood fires aren’t allowed. The setup is easy, and it’s easy to store, making it a fantastic addition to any camping setup.
We decided to get the Zutto Fire Pit on a Saturday afternoon for an upcoming camping trip that started on Tuesday at the Moro Campground in Newport Coast, California. The campground didn’t allow firewood or charcoal, which meant we couldn’t use our usual Snow Peak fire pit unless we got propane gear. With time running out, I emailed Zutto at 1 PM, explaining our situation because the website indicated that free shipping would take several days, and we wouldn’t receive it in time.
To my surprise, Guillaume Dutilh from Zutto replied almost immediately. He was incredibly helpful and offered a solution by personally dropping off the fire pit to UPS by 3 PM that same day. He even arranged a great shipping rate for us, and, true to his word, we received the fire pit on Tuesday, just in time for our camping trip.
The Zutto Fire Pit worked perfectly at the campsite. We used it both for cooking and as a bonfire, and it was incredibly easy to set up and use. Everyone enjoyed sitting around it, and it was much more convenient than dealing with firewood. Cleanup was a breeze, too—no ashes to deal with, which made it even better.
Thanks to Zutto for providing such a great product and exceptional customer service. Guillaume truly saved our camping trip, and I highly recommend ordering directly from the official Zutto website. The other retailer I emailed never even replied, but Zutto was quick, efficient, and reliable. Talk to Guillaume—he’ll ensure your event goes smoothly and make your trip amazing!
Excellent product! When camping, I always want a fire. Since we seem to have 2-3 months of burn bans in the PNW, I invested in the Zutto to add to my large Snow Peak Fire pit. I'm glad I did! Very easy to hook up and my daughter was pleased we could still do S'mores. Well worth the investment. Also, they shipped it fast, and have very fast/responsive customer service. A great purchase all around!
I absolutely love the Zutto Fire with the flower pattern design! Its aesthetic appeal is stunning and adds a unique touch to my outdoor setup. I've paired it with the Snow Peak Takibi Grill, and it's a match made in heaven. The addition of the Field Oven makes for a perfect combination.
One of the best features is how the Zutto hose and burner pack perfectly inside the Field Oven, which is a delightful added bonus. I use a small 5lb (1 gallon) propane tank, and it lasts for about 2-3 hours, which is more than enough for my needs.
Cleanup is a breeze, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the Zutto Fire with the flower pattern is an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor cooking game!
Great product, very easy to use and adds more campfire joy
