First time fire pit buyer and this really misses the mark. 1-Good luck finding fire wood that is small enough to really fit a couple of pieces in this comfortably to burn evenly. 2- No Spark Screen! I didn't even think of this. Someone else wrote that it is deep enough that sparks aren't a problem but I burned a couple of the smallest pieces of wood I could find and sparks were flying everywhere, and burned holes in my outdoor rug.
