This thing was actually larger than I had expected! It works great, not only not emitting a lot of smoke but also completely burns all of the wood coals so there is not a lot of residue to clean out. The functional design is really good as well, simply removing the top ring really changes the aerodynamics and hinders the firepits performance. They did their homework on this and I'm sure they'll continue to grow and improve. Hint(find a round glass table cover and it works great as a patio table when not burning in it)
