I watched so many reviews... was so skeptical about what this stove can do but decided to spend the money and do it. Christmas Day I opened the Yukon up and we lit a fire. The smoke at first was a bit disappointing and felt like a little more smoke then I expected. But the next day we went to a buddies and made a fire in his “fire pit”. After that I realized how much less smoke the Yukon puts out. I love it! It’s the best buy of 2019. So impressed with the Yukon and looking to buy another
