Hi just purchased the product it is great. However it states to hit the powerbank once to activate bluetooth to connect however the app does not find the firepit. The light illuminates for 2-3 seconds than turns off and app cannot find it
I saw this on TV and ordered one right away. When I received the fire pit the fan did not work and it will not charge. After doing a bit of research I found out that many people have had the same issue. I guess biolite charges top dollar for something that doesn’t work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We bought our FirePit in November of 2018 on a road trip from Ontario to Alabama. We decided on the FirePit because the camp site we were staying at didn’t allow on ground fires, and the Biolite firepit offered the perfect solution for us. We thought it a bit of a splurge at the time, but the FirePit paid itself off over and over. In March 2020 our energy pack/blower stopped charging. We contacted the company and showed proof of registration. Thinking we were getting a new blower we were happy with the resolution. But when a brand new complete fire pit arrived, we were ecstatic!! We will forever be loyal to BioLight, we’ve already added the Solar Home system to our camping/emergency kit.
Love our new Biolite! So portable, and easy to use. We’ve had campfires, and cooked on it with no complaints. Wish the cover that came with it had handles- for better portability. But overall a great purchase.
Love using this firepit at the park. Cooked up some burgers using a foil serving tray as a lid, and then ate around the campfire. It also cooled down quickly enough to transport back home.
I love my FirePit! We had one trial with just wood and then 3 lump charcoal BBQs: marinated flank steak, hamburgers and chicken thighs. All were fantastic. Note: I am now the griller in the family (never liked using the natural gas BBQ). Thank you from a very satisfied customer. Regards, K A Hewett-Hicks, Ottawa, ON Canada
