This is the best burning fire i have ever had in my backyard. So easy to get going and before you know it you have a perfect flame going in your backyard without smoke chasing people around the circle. A little smoke at first but nothing like the fires I used to have before the Yukon. I do wish i came with a cover or spark screen with the price you pay. Highly recommend, still haven’t emptied ashes but will most likely be a 2 person job.
