lol you’re not going to create a reverse heat island by buying a pool. My sister lived up by Desert Shores. It was still hot as hell.
You might want to invest in those little mister lines you can attach to building like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00166J3ZA but make sure you take care of it. The water out here is extremely hard. It will need to be cleaned or you’ll have clogged lines in a month.
If you’re worried about the dryness you need a humidifier for inside your home or relocate to Florida
This is my solution - frickin’ love it

I love goats. I still want one, but my neighbours might not like that LOL. Have a calendar .
Oh I will add to this, my favourite soap
Ok, I am adding this mountain goat bag
OMG and this tee shirt!!! I may want to get this for myself some day hahaha
Hahahaha and this warning sign!
ok, I'm done, lol
Thanks for the contest!
The days of campfires are over and have been since before I was a teenager. Most backpackers have lightweight portable stoves and most car campers have propane camp stoves.
Campfires are great for large, established campgrounds like state and county parks, but they have no business being at dispersed sites or in the backcountry except in emergencies.
Here is a great alternative to an open fire if you just want a fire for the sake of having a fire.
I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion.
Amazon has a bunch of different collapsible pits for easy transport. Not sure if that is what you are asking for but here a a few that I found: Campfire Defender - OR - KUAICHAI Portable Fire Pit
I have never used something like this before but they both have good reviews so...
Heating the whole tent would probably be better done radiatively instead of heating the air. The classic canvas tent with wood stove heats mostly by radiation for example. On a related note why not use a wood stove?
The heater that you linked looks like it isn't an infrared heater. It has IR heat tubes but those heat tubes are used to heat up air with a blower inside that big box. Basically you want something that looks like it would be a good flood light. That heater is a giant box with a little window in the side. Not a good flood light. If it has a fan you probably don't want it either. This is also 1500 watts and looks like it would do a much better job.
If you're looking for a cheap lightweight option, I picked up one of these and it's great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WG73GGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OthRDb0BX8WK7
I have
They all work really well, but IMO the effects can be short lived and you frequently have to get up and wet them again. The PVA cooling towel seems to work REALLY well, I think it has something to do with the gel like consistency of the fabric. I think these are good things to have around. My heat intolerance is really bad, so every little bit helps.
Also, I have an Embr Wave device, which I find brings short bursts of relief, but it takes a while between sessions and needs to be charged often. They’re also a bit pricey.
Cold showers help a lot. When I’m overheating, even cold water doesn’t make me jump like it normally would, it feels very soothing. It’s just about finding the right temperature.
Keep cool objects against your carotid arteries (basically just keep cold or cool items on your neck).
Fans help. Use a plastic spray bottle filled with water and mist yourself. I’ve tried one of these and I actually find they work really well for me
There's kits like this one, if you have a propane tank with a regulator, you could make your own burner i suppose. I'd never recommend that though unless you know what you are doing.
I wouldn't want to deal with that either. And I love a good camp fire.
So, build something on the cheap w/ propane. For example, I spotted a really sweet washing machine tub propane fire pit, mounted on a rim stand. It created just the right heat and ambiance, without any mess or worry of unintended infernos. Just add a propane kit.
How old are you kids? Have they been camping before? Plenty of stuff to make them comfortable and happy. These Mystical Fire Packets are great and my kids (6 and 4) really look forward to using them. Good shoes, plenty of snacks and treats, maybe their own cookware. If your kids are older maybe you don't need to go this route. I just try to make trips as fun and exciting as I can for my youngsters to get them interested.

possibly these? I cant find regular decorative glass outside of that link and mosaic tiles are too thin
Like /u/rpitchford says, you want an On-Demand Diaphragm Pump
FYI you need approximately 1PSI to lift 3 feet, so to lift your 20' will only need ~7PSI. That's child's play for most any diaphragm pump.
Most likely your fireplace, even though it's wood-burning, is piped for a natural gas log lighter or gas fireplace insert. There may be a capped pipe similar to this inside the firebox somewhere.
Your square shaped key is the universal standard for that kind of natural gas line, and there's a valve behind the wall.
According to this "expert", the PP and LL on your key stand for "PricePfister" and "Log Lighter"
How about a fireproof mat?:

Found this..
This is the one I would use.

You need one of these portable campfires. Not the same, but better than sitting in the dark.
Added to my wishlist. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M0HTKB6/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687562&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00C2THAFA&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0TKVR3F78DQ1AN50VMA4

Is he full Shar Pei, how heavy are his wrinkles (can he pant effectively) and how lean/fat is he (the leaner the dog, the better)?
Being in the desert does mean low humidity is helpful in that his panting will be more effective, however it's AZ and the heat will be high.
How shady is the location? He will need good quality shade. Having a small bit of shade while the area surround him is baking, won't do him much good. The best would be some good sized trees (trees do provide a cooling effect) with some areas never getting hit by sun. If not that, he'll need a good sized area (not just a patio umbrella).
I'd consider one of those temp car tents like this one: https://express.google.com/u/0/product/9240326482241299587_14428592836010735232_10891564?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=tu_cu&utm_content=eid-lsjeuxoeqt%2Ceid-vqiqlmovzs&gtim=CPDum5vduN757QEQxoSjzPzR76prGLC1oL4BIgNVU0Qo4LiD5gUwrOKYBQ&utm_campaign=10891564&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-tXlBRDWARIsAGYQAmeOgM_voPrV24p_kJNuMo8n8tpWCwU4j8SwNK-PUDI7O4lVnQclaEkaAm65EALw_wcB You can roll up one side to improve the ventilation and keep one down if needed to maximize the shade. I'd also consider putting shade cloth - either over the tent if heat is coming through the fabric, to use as a side to allow better air circulation and/or additional shady area.
Shade cloth: https://www.amazon.com/Puppy-Aluminet-Shade-Cloth-Panels/dp/B00KGFJU32/ref=pd_day0_hl_199_8?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00KGFJU32&pd_rd_r=ec3cd2f8-602b-11e9-a944-2f3383ee933a&pd_rd_w=5Nmtq&pd_rd_wg=oRdtD&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=18VNP5RYP9DZS2EP2W2B&psc=1&refRID=18VNP5RYP9DZS2EP2W2B
I'd definitely get him a wading pool and keep the water a clean as possible. Put a tarp on the ground around it so he doesn't get dirty. While he may not care to get into it now, that level of heat may change his mind.
I would also make sure to have a hose around. With that low humidity, wetting him down will absolutely help. You will need to do it often.
Alternately, and perhaps better would be a misting system like this https://www.amazon.com/MistyMate-16030-Patio-Outdoor-Misting/dp/B00166J3ZA/ref=asc_df_B00166J3ZA/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=194003459169&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14037802612619025603&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005779&hvtargid=aud-643574997066:pla-312625313697&psc=1.
A fan may help in that a breeze will help his panting to be more effective, however, blowing super hot air isn't so great.
if you can get an insulated dog house with AC or Evaporative cooler that would be fantastic.
