We have only had our Yukon for 24 hours but have used it twice. It is very easy to start fires in because of the airflow. I was able to start it each time with one match and minimal starter material.

I have to say that it puts off way more heat than I ever expected. I loaded it up half full and it was more heat than we could handle being within 5 feet of the Yukon. If you want to be close to the fire you will need to make it smaller or consider using one of the smaller fire pits.

In filling it half full, I had about one hour of fire due to the efficiency and heat intensity that solo has mastered.

I would buy this again in a heart beat. One thing to keep in mind is that the Yukon does not come with a cover. I would recommend buying an outdoor cover for it because it is way too big to bring in at night to keep the moisture out of it.
