The fan is poor quality and is not tuned. Vibrations and noise ruins the siund if fire and soarks. Almost no raditation heat is escaping the cage. Complained to the shop, Outnorth, but they did nothing when thay had the motor unit in fir inspection. Not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Jakob, we're sorry to hear that your FirePit' fan is causing trouble. The fan should be barely audible over a conversation around the fire. Please reach out to our team here: https://www.bioliteenergy.com/pages/contact and we'll help resolve this for you!
Bought it a year ago.. Also had a battery issue where after 6 months it no longer charged.. The company immediately sent me a new one.. I hope this one lasts because it was an expensive item and a great idea.. Cant wait till they come out with the one that self charges the battery like the camp stove
I am using it for two years, I take it everywhere and use it on my backyard. It is charging fine, my first one I had to return because of charging and the ventilation starting problems. Only problem I see is the grill starts to wear out and there is no parts for sale and the walls of the pit are rusting bad and I have to brush them often, I hope they will offer replacement parts soon!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great firepit. It works great and astonishes me everytime I use it on how the simple the flow of air from the fan keeps the fire going. Highly recommend.
Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I was debating going with the Solo Stove equivalent for our backyard but the Biolite is leaps and bounds better. Thanks for making a great product!
It doesn’t work. Battery arrived dead and will not charge.

This product is amazing. I moved to a big city where there are a variety of rules about fire pits in back yards. Not only did this give me the campfire experience it met all the regulations and I could keep my windows open as it produces very little smoke. I put the pit on my new composite deck with the fire mat and no damage to deck at all. I would highly recommend this product
