But the difference was remarkable once we built the fire the way Solo recommends.
There wasnt any visible smoke, and we couldnt smell burning wood.

It also includes a removable ashtray that simplifies cleanup, but that comes already in place.
Thanks to the removable ashtray, we also found it very easy to clean out.
We found that the large bowl comfortably holds about eight pieces of wood.

Assembling this fire pit proved to be straightforward, with clear instructions that we found easy to follow.
After the initial setup, we didnt have any trouble starting or keeping a fire going, either.
The best thing about this fire pit is that it doubles as a grill.

We set up this propane fire pit on our deck and enjoyed low heat evening campfires throughout the summer.
With the flame lit, we felt even heat all around the fire pit.
It fits in really nicely with the rest of my outdoor decor!
The fire pit arrived almost entirely assembled, which was a pleasant surprise.
It also includes a pellet adapter, and we found that smoke production was almost nonexistent when burning pellets.
This is a very small fire pit, after all, so the fire is a little delicate.
With a nearly smokeless fire blazing, we had a great time gathering around this fire pit.
Once lit, this fire pit provided an overall pleasant and even warmth.
We also enjoyed grilling hot dogs on the fire pit.
We assembled the unit in about 10 minutes.
In terms of wear, we noticed that the inner bowl blackens with use.
Other than that, the stainless steel construction has held up very well.

Overall, this is a great smaller option to enjoy in the backyard or to take on camping trips.
If you want to avoid using firewood, consider theLatitude Run Outdoor Fire Pit Table.
Even though it uses propane as fuel, it produces a lot of heat and doubles as a table.

We also noted the instructions' clarity and whether or not the fire pit included all the necessary tools.
We also evaluated the difficulty of achieving and maintaining an even flame.
For wood-burning fire pits, we evaluated the difficulty of disposing of ashes.
Both steel and aluminum fire pits tend to be durable and easy to move.
On the other hand, cast iron fire pits are heavy but very sturdy and tend to be rust-resistant.
For instance, dry and dense firewood tends to generate the best key in of heat output.
