Great fire pit - puts out a lot of heat and we've used it to stay warm while gathering outdoors during COVID in Maine, even in the 20s-30s. It burns incredibly efficiently with very minimal smoke, even when filled with firewood - very hot and the logs burn vigorously but evenly and slowly. You can even see the super-heated air re-igniting excess smoke around the rim, really cool. My only complaint is that the fire bucket itself could be a little bit larger to accommodate more wood, but I can get about pieces of firewood in there if I arrange them the right way as I'm adding. I always end up with some wood above the rim, but the "smokeless" design still actually seems to do a decent job at eliminating most of the smoke.
