I love this fire pit! Now I can enjoy a fire year round on my deck. It was very easy to set up. I added the lava rocks that came with it, connected it to propane and turned it on with the knob and built-in igniter. No having to use a match to light. It's really easy to light. I can adjust the flame height. It actually puts out a good amount of heat from the flame. I sit out all the time with friends enjoying my deck now.
