This is a fabulous fire pit for a small backyard in the city.  My yard isn't small, but the pool takes up a lot of it, so it's perfect for the patio.  I live in a city that allows firepits but people can still call in to complain.  With the Solo Stove putting out virtually no smoke there's no reason for anyone to even know we have it on.  The way the fire appears at the top with the air flow holes is mesmerizing!  Fantastic firepit - can't imagine using anything other than this.
