Really love my new Ranger fire pit! It’s the perfect size for our Brooklyn back yard. With the stand in place it left no discolored bricks underneath. Because of the recycling heat system it puts out very little smoke, even less than the charcoal bbq. That’s a good thing because I’m surrounded by many neighbors who may not care to smell a bonfire. It’s manageable size makes it easy to clean too. Just wait until it’s completely burned out and cooled then flip it over to dump the ashes. After that it’s got a great carrying case to stow it away. I haven’t tried it yet but the Ranger stove would undoubtedly be perfect for car camping and tailgating. 
As a side note the beautiful stainless steel will discolor as you use it. This is completely normal and imo adds to the character of this versatile outdoor accessory.
