Love the look of this fire pit; however, on chilly nights would be helpful to have MORE flame.... The one coil through which the flames travel has its holes pointed inward instead of straight up (of course there may be a practical reason why).  Maybe if there were multiple concentric coils, more heat would be emitted?   I had to change my rating on this after 1 1/2 years.  The cover did not protect it from the elements and when removed after the 2nd winter, the ¨concrete¨ was all cracked/broken away/disintegrated.  For the price, considering the low flame and lack of sturdiness, it was not worth it.
