Abstract: A food warming apparatus for use with an open outdoor campfire or fire pit, the apparatus comprising a substantially vertical heat collection element shaped to act as a substantially vertical support element connected with a substantially horizontal warming tray element having openings to dissipate heat and provide temperature variability across the surface of the warming tray. The substantially vertical support element is of a curved panel shape extending upward from the ground and serving to both shield a user from a fire as well as conduct heat upwards from a fire to the warming tray and food or food containers placed thereon. The apparatus is made of a fire resistant, durable, and at least partially conductive material such as metal. Embodiments include those made for larger family size fire circles as well as small lightweight and foldable embodiment suitable for transport and camping.
