This is the most incredible “portable” fire pit! I bought this for my husband as a present and the first time we used it was camping with friends.. the first night another family had a pit as well, and we lit theirs because it was “bigger”. After about an hour of getting smoked out the husband of the other family said alright fine let’s try out your “smokeless” fire pit. The heat was on.... all the husbands were standing around critiquing if it was really putting off less smoke. And let me tell you how impressed EVERYONE was.  After the fire gets started there virtually is no smoke, and not only that... The amount of heat that this little thing puts out is incredible! Also there is no need to “poke the fire” it just keeps on burning!! If your thinking about it at all, do yourself a favor and get one! It’s a little bit of a splurge but it’s worth every penny! After one weekend camping with the little guy I came back and bought the Yukon for our permanent backyard fire pit.
