First time using the Yukon fire pit and what I noticed. It lit very easily with damp wood. The fire pit had a very even burn that was hot. It was 55 degrees out and the flame was intense to watch, but sitting back a few feet the heat was very minimal unless u stood up.  Thats when u could feel the max heat output from this fire pit. The next time that I use this fire pit I plan on not using the stand that came with it. On cooler nights I like to feel the heat on my face but on the hot days of the summer the stand will come in useful. I would like to add that would burnt up very well so there was very little ash to clean up afterwords.
