Excellent fire pit. If you use the Tiki pellets, it definitely is smokeless (or VERY minimal). We love that we don't smell like smoke afterwards. If you use regular wood, it still does produce some smoke, but I think if you use very dry wood, and keep the log below the top of the rim, it is still much less smoke. The heat goes upward, but also outward, which is important for us. (I have read reviews of other smokeless firepits where the heat only goes up.) It is not super light, but not that heavy - 1 person can still move pretty easily. Clean up is easy, and the embers are gone quickly. It isn't cheap, but worth it. I would recommend.
