This fire pit is a lot of fun. I’m continually astonished by how I can make a raging fire fast just from the twigs that fall from our oak trees. After the fire dies down to glowing embers, it’s perfect for marshmallows. They cook fast, and it’s easy to get them brown all the way around. With a regular campfire, I usually end up setting them on fire. All the wood burns down to a very fine ash - very easy to dispose.
There is little smoke and I can enjoy a beautiful flame. It burns so well without doing anything, so I don't have much fun taking care of firewood. But I love it because it's so easy to enjoy the flames. Every weekend, I enjoy beer while watching the flames in the backyard.
