It's probably a pack of this stuff. My mom buys them and keeps them around for the grandkids. Mystical Fire Flame Colorant Vibrant Long-Lasting Pulsating Flame Color Changer for Indoor or Outdoor Use 0.882 oz Packets 6 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFVLVI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gyLOBbDCMC71X

There's one to the right you can kind of see. It looks like Fire Bricks, you can get them through Amazon. Top layer appears to be held together/on with some sort of steel L shaped "rail".

Lucky me, the company that produces them is where I live, might have to see if I can get some direct!

Just used this same one for a backpacking trip. Worked great and grilling on it was super nice after enough coals accumulated. 10/10 would recommend if you need something light.

Edit: it might be cheaper on Amazon

If you want hard brick, its on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Rutland-Products-604-Fire-Brick/dp/B000UEYZ4S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500563383&sr=8-1&keywords=fire+brick

For Soft brick, maybe this one: https://www.amazon.com/EuroTool-Fire-Brick-SOL-485-00/dp/B012C5ZIAC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500563409&sr=8-1&keywords=soft+fire+brick

She should have stayed at her old place. I live in an apt and ever since I came about these *fire pit stone skull things, I've been wanting them. Her swipe ups could have done well if she got them before she moved but guess she was waiting for a sponsor and got the most basic things (maybe she was given a budget/could only shop certain accounts)

*i know my link is amazon but I was too lazy to search ebay but I'm sure they have these.

You can buy fire color changing packets for like $1.50 from most stores that sell camping equipment, usually they're by the cash registers.

I have this one and love it.

FIRESIDE OUTDOOR Pop-Up Fire Pit | Portable and Lightweight | Fullsize 24 Inch | Weighs 7 lbs. | Never Rust Fire Pit | Heat Shield NOT Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G9NY6G8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CV058057BKK9F889P8W3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have one of these, works well for the size, though its a little annoying that standard wood lengths like you’d find at a store are too long. If that’s your wood source, would recommend cutting lengths in half before leaving.

Not exactly what you're asking for- but if you end up somewhere with restrictions, look into this propane fire pit. Obviously a real fire is better, but mine has saved many camping trips as these fire restrictions become more and more common. $60 on Amazon with prime shipping.

This one looks to be the correct size and has real pictures to show the size and use. Probably something very similar to this.

There are 25 pages of "camping grills" on amazon

this one is very misleading while they didn't bother with as much terrible photoshop, the dimensions in one picture really call into question the other pictures, especially the one with food on it. They are grilling cocktail sausages and mini steaks maybe.

The FIRESIDE OUTDOOR Pop-Up Fire Pit is by far the best one I have ever used. It is solid when assembled, easy to clean and store in its bag, surprising the metal does not break down easily. We use ours on grass with the optional heat shield and never burnt the grass.

If you have lots of fires and think the colors are as awesome as I do you should look at this product. ( I am in no way shape or form endorsing this stuff) I have used it and thought it was cool. https://www.amazon.com/Mystical-Fire-Colorant-Long-Lasting-Pulsating/dp/B00AFVLVI4

They are called Human Fire Pit Skull Gas Log. Can be found on Amazon

Don't know why you got down voted, this is real. You can buy the packs off Amazon that you toss in the fire to get multicolored flames

These.

The GasOne stove connector would be used on a tank like this one.

I'm not sure what a "Malta" style connector is but if it's like the old POL (Prest-O-Lite) connectors there are adapters like this one.

And an adapter hose https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P7H13Q4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not that I don;t appreciate marketing and innovation, but I have a generic 5lb tank I bough years ago. Something like this....

https://www.amazon.com/Flame-King-YSN5LB-Propane-Cylinder/dp/B077BLDL7T?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

​

That seems very pricey for a basic propane tank that sits in a milk crate, but this is the snow peak group, so make an IGT adapter for it and I'm all in :-)

Also, don't buy the Gas Gowler. That is a ripoff kit sold at MEC and REI that is nothing more than a $50 5lb Flame King propane tank with a carrying case and a $10 ACME to throwaway adapter hose.

You can build the same thing for $50 cheaper:

We have one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GH8984N/
Got it after we were on a trip with someone who had one. It packs down well, cools off very quickly, and is super light. In winter the radiant heat out of the bottom is great. We use it whenever there is no fire pit at the site or whenever its sufficiently snowy and/or wet that an existing fire pit would be less than ideal.

Camp chef portable propane pit

There’s a lot of portable fire pits on the market, but this is the only ring style that has folding legs which makes it super compact when transporting. Only recommendation would be to buy a better hose, like a metal one with a regulator.

I read about this before it was happening. I really wish I had the resources to get a bunch of those packets that make fire change color. Glue the packets into some books and throw them in. Then when the fire turned purple and green I'd scream "We've awoken the demons! Run for your soul!"

This!
