It's a mobile firepit/grill. And it's awesome

I used this the first time to cook a steak to try it out, one of the best steaks I've cooked. I used it with my nephew to roast s'mores and then just sit by the fire with the family. I just showed it off on a camping trip starting it 15 minutes after everyone else started their grills. We were done before everyone else and didn't have to worry about the coals flying off while we ate. The fans burned everything down into dust which was easy to dispose of. Super awesome product!

Love it!

It worked exactly as advertised. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because the charging cable for the battery pack was faulty, but I have a collection of cables and easily found one that works perfectly. I am more than satisfied with this and plan on getting lots of use out of it.

Great little fire pit
on July 30, 2019
Posted by: Josh M
This fire pit is exactly as described. The fan was great for getting the fire started and I only needed to keep it on low to get the reduced smoke effect I wanted. I didn't feel like I needed to keep feeding the fire more than normal, which was a concern of mine. The only thing I am disappointed in is that the carrying bag is not the one shown in the pictures and in fact doesn't have carrying handles.

Wonderful Gift

This was a great gift for my son who is in the Navy and a former eagle scout. He loves hiking and camping and this is perfect. Makes a nice smokeless grill for outdoor space at his apartment as well.

Surpassed expectations

This is a badass fire pit.
It works exactly as described and it’s obvious that Biolite has put a lot of R+D into this product. Their videos aren’t modified to exaggerate things.
Highly recommend.

It does produce less smoke than a standard fire pit, not completely smokeless all the time but quite good.
It also uses approx 1/2 the firewood compared to a typical large truck rim fire pit.
I only burnt 5 bags over 3 nights.
I could burn that in 1.5 nights easily in a regular fire pit to get this good of flame height.

That being said, with a bag of firewood being $10 each up here in Canada, when you do the math, and use this fire pit a fair bit all summer like I plan to, it basically pays for itself.
It’s pretty much free when you factor in the fuel savings. No joke.

One thing that surprised me is the run time.
I was under the impression that low would be a little flame and high would be a large flame height. Low lasting much longer than high for run time.
Well I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a “max” setting tends to keep the flame height lower, and a lower setting will allow for larger/higher flames and a longer run time!
It’s badass to see the phone app show that there is still 23hrs estimated run time left, after running for a good couple hrs.
There are ZERO issues running this thing all night. ALL night.
Very happy about that, was expecting to have to charge it up half way through the night but I was wrong.

Impressed

Let me tell you, if you are a BBQ/Firepit lover you will never want to leave the side to this thing. Its' sooo good, as a firepit itself and as a BBQ it does miracle. And it's never been easier to start a fire. And as far a the battery goes, it's working really well, we have been using the BBQ 3 imes in the past week for about 3-4 hours each times and still the battery is working perfectly. If my husband and I would have known this product before, cooking would have been a different story. And the BBQ get cold after 10 minutes so you don't have to wait an hour like most BBQ. I would be purchasing it every week if we had to.
It's a really gift also so someone who likes camping!

Fantastic

Used the FirePit for the first time on our camping trip in Voyageurs National Park and it couldn't have worked better. Fire started right up without having to baby it at all. Had hot cooking coals within minutes. Turned fan off and cooked hotdogs, burgers, and pork chops on the grill. Then threw some more wood on and turned on fan and fire roared back to life. It worked better than I could have hoped and saved so much time cooking dinner. Used way less wood than traditional fire too, so saved time collecting wood. Ran the fan for at least 4 hours a night for 3 nights and battery only down 1 bar. Would highly recommend this product
