When I first received it my daughter brought it to my work and we started it up in the shop. It was amazing. Now I want more to use when we are camping. I am hooked on BioLite.

works as expected

I figured the fire pit would work as advertised. the reason I didn't give it 5 stars was It does not give off much radiant heat. on the lowest fan setting it will give off smoke but more radiant heat. at the higher settings smoke goes away and so does the radiant heat. At the top 2 fan settings the fan noise is very noticeable. I also was able to pick up the fire pit and move it while it was burning and the handles were only slightly warm. not that is a plus in my book. So I like it and give it 4.5 stars. PS I wish it would charge the battery like my basecamp stove does.

Great Product - Context is King!

My wife bought this for me for Christmas. We already own the pizza dome set up so I'll admit that I'm a fan to start with. That being said don't expect to build a bonfire at sit 5' away, it's not made for that. Regarding the 'smokeless' feature, follow the directions as closely as possible and you'll have great success. So far I've started with a charcoal base because I was cooking both times. It's perfect for when I'm just cooking for the two of us. No need to fire up the big grill, plus you can get the same results with less wood. smaller wood works best but when you have a bed of coals you can put a decent sized oak log on. Now, just a couple of minor Quality issues. The cooking rack needs another thicker metal rod welded down the middle. The small diameter rods want to warp. Not a deal killer for me but seems like a slight design fix or thicker rod would be in order. Also, the recharging slot on the battery pack on mine is just a tiny bit out of alignment. I have to wiggle the cable plug in a bit gingerly. The mounting internally probably needs to be a bit sturdier. As for heat, get a good base of coals then make sure you are using good, seasoned(i.e. dried) wood. Different woods burn with different characteristics. I happen to like oak because I also smoke with it but it burns pretty hot. I think you could sit a couple of feet away and still feel the heat, I could anyway. Battery does produce an efficient burn! I love mine!

Great camping fire pit/stove.

I needed a small packable fire pit for camping and overlanding. This fits the bill perfectly. Perfect for small camps and cooking. I recently spent 4 days in Anza Borrego and it was well used. This is not designed to replace a backyard fire pit. Only complaint is the cover, I wish it there was a full zippered cover to aid in transportation and tieing down to a roof rack.

Great Customer Service

I got my Pit about 4 months ago and have had a few fires in it and I have to admit I am a bit of a fire bug so I like to make HOT fires. with that being said it did a great job. The battery pack went out on me and would not take a charge even after trying the battery reset. I emailed Biolite on a weekend and to my surprise right away Monday morning I had a response (Henz the Great Customer Service) they were very polite and very helpful with my issue. I did what they wanted and it didn't work but they warrantied the battery pack and I have received the new one and plan to use it very very soon! Thank you Biolite for your Great Customer Service and keep up the great work cause in this day and age good Customer Service is hard to find and even if you guys had a moderate product which you don't its great the Service provided by your people would make up for it.

One of Biolite's best products.

I was very excited to try this fire pit out after watching a couple videos on how easy it was to operate. I have never seen anything else on the market. It is perfect for tailgating, surf trips, beach days and pretty much any glamping trip. Perfect for San Onofre days! A must if you like to camp cook/bbq meals and have a mini portable camp fire for sunset. I also love how effectively and efficiently the fire pit burns the wood with their air intake system which can be regulated by the different fan speeds.

Powerful Portable Firepit
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: Anonymous
I bought this fire pit to use at our remote Alaskan cabin. I like the portability and small footprint. I also purchased the solar carrying case and would highly recommend. The fire pit has the ability to run nice and hot if you are looking for warmth and then at lower levels for cooking. We are very happy with the grill aspect and the see through screen that allows you to watch the fire burn. We didn’t think we would use the remote phone app, but it’s ease of use won us over. Can’t wait to use this again and again.
