This propane fire pit is great! There's plenty of heat for cooking s'mores and keeping us warm on cooler nights. The electric starter does not work on our unit, but we are able to light it with a candle lighter, so it's a minor inconvenience. As others have mentioned, there are not enough lava rocks included to cover the burner, so we are going to buy more. One tip - before covering the fire pit after it has cooled, we place a serving platter upside-down over the fire bowl. Once the cover is on, the serving platter provides just enough of a dome to make rain water run off of the top. Otherwise, the cover sags into the fire bowl and collects water.
