We’ve used it in the back yard several times now. Firewood a couple of times and hardwood charcoal another time for s’mores. It works well with several pieces of wood and smoke is cut down considerably. It is not ‘smokeless’ as the website would have you believe. The smoke does not lazily drift around, but goes straight up. As the fire dies down and the flames get smaller the smoke increases. The fan is kind of loud in the 3-4 settings, and can rattle the fire pit. Mesh is a nice feature for fire visibility. Certainly an improved fire pit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is not smokeless on any setting of fan speed. Got it for Fathers Day and not impressed. Will be sending it back as fan rattles at high or max speed. Not as advertised. Burned 4 pieces of firewood and smoked the whole time in my face on max sped of fan.

Hey I just got it and won’t use it until fall. Can’t say much about it except it feels and looks flimsy. The handles could be of better quality. The thread for the screws on one side were worn out. I’ll let you know after I tried the whole thing out.

Have used someone’s for a weekend and loved it and am sure I will love having my own. Wish it automatically came with the solar charging cover but that’s life :)

I purchased the fire pit for my son and his family while working from home and watching it being used on the Today Show. They absolutely are in love with it and have been using it weekly.

I’ve built fires my entire life and this thing is a game changer! Best purchase I’ve made this year for sure. I love it and keep it in my truck when I travel also cuts down on the amount of fire wood I use when camping or just hanging out on my deck.

Just not worth the money. The hum of the motor may annoy some. I’ve yet to enjoy a smokeless fire. Even tried kiln dried wood.
I think I’ll use it more for cooking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far I love it. My kids love it...my wife hated the price. There was still some smoke though it made it possible for everyone to get warm on a cold night. That being said, there's no way that anyone would be able to sit downwind of any other campfire so close without being smoked out. I'm sure I will have to use some high heat black paint in the future if/when rust arrives. Overall great so far.
