I highly recommend this fire pit. I like the cross-hatch pattern around the pit which keeps my legs warm. The bowl size is great- it allows for both small and larger fires, and there is plenty of room to allow you space to move logs around. The only con, which isnt a deal breaker in my opinion, is that there is no way to remove the ashes without tilting the whole fire pit. Would be nice if the base had a catch or something. It includes a mesh cover, fire pit cover, and poker to move the wood around with. For the price, look, and everything it comes with, its a great deal!
