I love my fire pit. We had our first fire last Friday. It was so enjoyable and having an unseasonably warm evening made it all the better. My only criticism is the poker which is too flimsy and difficult to use to lift the screen to add more wood. We finally used the opposite end and that helped. A friend said it reminded him of chicken legs. Next time I’ll use a heavy potholder. One nice feature is that the fire bowl can easily lifted out so during snow and rain it won’t rust. Despite the poker issue it’s  a lovely pit and will hopefully last a long  time.
