I love it
on July 27, 2018
Posted by: Garrett B.
I love campfires. At least, I thought I loved them.
I've done a lot of car camping and a decent amount of backpacking. Campfires have been a huge part of that. When I saw this firepit on Kickstarter, I was instantly hooked because they promised to fix the only thing I didn't like about a campfire - the smoke. I really don't love smoke in my eyes and honestly I don't love smelling like smoke.
I am extremely pleased. I've used this about a half dozen times so far. I have to say that I don't want to go back to an open pit campfire again. Each time has been a really pleasant experience all the way from starting the fire (the low fan setting makes this easy) to the fact that there is very little smoke throughout the life of fire. I say very little because I have gotten some smoke, but it is so much less than a typical fire and it is also because I overfilled or blocked the vents.
I love the portability of this, and I love how it performs. The mesh design really is cool for watching the fire, but you also get great flames out the top.
The battery seems great too. I'm still on the original charge after about 12 hours of use. Mostly on low, but definitely some turbo in there too (just for fun).
I haven't cooked with it yet, but I want to soon.
In my experience so far, the firepit works best with smallish split pieces of wood and does require maintenance, just like any other campfire. But it makes having a fire fun and easy and I hope to continue using it for a long time.

Great for cooking

I've used my FirePit twice now. Both times for cooking. The fans make a huge difference in how long it takes the charcoal to ash over and be ready for cooking. Easily cuts the time in half if not more.
I also have the solar cover and it did a great job charging the battery pack. When I first got my FirePit I picked it up from FedEx and I went straight to my camping trip. I was able to use the fans by solely charging the battery using the solar panel.

Great Fun with the FirePit
on July 26, 2018

We use it on a weekly basis (FirePit Fridays) and everyone loves it.
Favorite part is the Hot to Cold process. Dump the hot coals/ash and turn the fan on HIGH and it's packed up and in the solar cover in under 10mins. Charge it up and its ready to go again.

Efficient fire, lovely glow
on July 26, 2018

I was one of the Kickstarter crew as I love BioLite products. I've used this several times on my back patio (but can't use it on the wooden deck) and in the driveway. The fan helps the flames burn quickly and efficiently, and as long as your wood is dry there's very little smoke, just like the other BioLite stoves. Cooked sausages, steaks, and s'mores over it with the kids. The solar cover charged up the battery, and after 3 hours of use, the battery did not show any drain.

Hot little shit
on July 26, 2018

I backed this on Kickstarter and read a few negative reviews (on Kickstarter) before I got mine, so I was a bit nervous.
However none of the issues happened with mine.
Battery pack fits perfect
All pieces were there and fit perfectly
App works great
Quality is outstanding
Legs are level
Fan isn’t too loud

This was my first Bio lite product and I’ve been sitting in front of it for about 30 minutes and already love it.
Gets hot if you want or the flames can roar if you want.
Solid product and would recommend

Great little pit

Everyone I know loves this thing. It's easy to tote around, creates delicious flavors in meat and veggies and keeps you warm while not usi g up a crazy amount of wood. 0lus there's no moving around as the wind turns because there's no smoke, apart from when you start up! The fan lasts even longer than advertised, and the fire looks super cool. I can't say enough good things. Love steaks cooked with cherry wood!
