A very nice product. It burns seasoned wood with almost no smoke when set on 3-4. Green Bio mass not so good. But I knew that going in. Has long run time when fully charged. 16" wood is best. Pellets won't work. It's not a campsite roaring fire. It is an under the carport or on the back porch fire pit, it's also good for public campsite. Very nice to see the fire all the way around. It has it's place.
This is awesome!! Do not listen to the poor reviews. Mostly people who don't follow the Instructions. Used about five times and no rust or wear. The fan motor Works great! It keeps the smoke down and everyone can enjoy the fire. This is a great product!!!
Solar charger seems not working even under direct sun light.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Borae! Thanks for writing in. Sounds like this is something that we can help you out with. If you go over to bioliteenergy.com/pages/contact one of our product specialists will reply to you within 1-2 business days.
I’ve had this thing for a year and I absolutely love it. I’ve never seen a fire pit this portable and the fan keeps the fire going no matter the conditions. I’m a carpenter so I burn clean scrap wood as well as firewood and landscape waste.Are use it to cook on and my kettle is always ready to go.
I am more than happy with the purchase of the firepit and the solar charging cover. The blower provides a smooth clean burn and works perfect when cooking with wood. The battery pack has come in very handy during power outages I have no complaints about this product. The BioLite team is dedicated to their customers and to their mission. I will purchasing products from them in the future and appreciate their working for an extended period of time during shipping and delivery issues. Thank you BioLite.
I really wanted to like this product, but after a year (and maybe 4 times used) the unit is rusted out, and the cover is starting to disintegrate. Would like to see an enamel coated version of this (like Weber grills) for better durability
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
