This is a great fire pit! Puts all fire pits to shame. With the Built i fan, It made sitting around the fire pleasurable again. Without the smoke in your face, it becomes a great experience. It was also great for cooking which I thought was so cool.l We cooked all day on it and at night, sat up and curled up beside it for heat. It was easy to clean and cooled down fairly quickly for storage which was also a surprise.
I just wish it could generate its own power like the smaller brother to this thing.
This Fire Pit is the perfect size for me. My place in Maine is not suited for a typical boulder-based, in-ground fire pit; too many overhanging trees and fallen leaves. I love the convenience and, for me, the safety of my Fire Pit.
I have had many Boilite stoves to date, I currently own 4 and the biolite firepit is by far the most entertaining, easy to use, satisfying, and fun to watch stove I own. I have used it for many meals now, as well as, many camp fires. It works great, construction is good... Small issue with a loose handle , but a washer fixed the issue. Super backyard fun.
