thermomate Large Outdoor Fire Pit for Patio Backyard, 17x16.5 Inch Stainless Steel Round Bowl Wood Burning, Smokeless , Portable Camping Fire Pit

The fire pit will change color after the first use. I personally like the look, but it won’t look clean and stainless after using it. This is a great fire pit for tailgating or camping. It burns the wood all the way through, which makes clean up with the removable inside easy and quick. The flames that come out of the top when it’s fully blazing give off some good heat, but other than that it’s not the most radiant pit. It would keep 4-5 people warm if they’re standing around it, but when the flames are coming out of the top, they get long and can move around a bit. I was going to purchase a Breeo Y series but didn’t want to spend $500 for a tailgating fire pit. This one feels very durable and I imagine it will last a long time of taken care of. I had it sitting on the grass and burned for about 2 hours with no sign of heat left on the ground below it the next morning. I would recommend this fire pit to someone who wants a portable option for tailgating or camping. You’d probably want a larger pit if you regularly entertain lots of people in your yard and want a wider pit that allows people to spread out more.

The firepit is well made and the inner fire container seems to be pretty heavy duty. It comes with a cover and poker which is nice as other brands sell those separately. I have used it several times now and it works much better with shorter pieces of very dry wood that do not extend past the upper vent holes.It does smoke like you would expect a campfire to do until the wood really starts burning. Once the heat convection airflows gets going the smoke is minimal and flames are pretty intense, almost like a gas firepit. Burns the wood completely with very little fine ash leftover.The inner container has handles on top but it would be nice if there were handles on the outer container as well so picking the entire firepit would be easier. As other have mentioned a lid would be nice to have as well. Overall very happy with the purchase and the product pricing vs. some of the other brands.

The size is a bit smaller than I had wanted, but it does work well. Wood is burned completely, smoke is minimal and the cover is nice. Very easy to transport.

This little campfire fire pit is perfect for RV camping. Its made very well with nice thick stainless steel construction. The easy to remove insert makes it easy to remove the old ashes. This fire pit burns hot due to the way the vent holes in the bottom of the drum makes sure the fire is getting plenty of Oxygen. the size also makes this fire pity easy to transport.I highly recommend this fire pit. Believe me I was worried also after reading all the negative reviews. but this fire pit is the real deal.

It's a very nice fire pit, good size for home and portable for campouts. It burns wood very nicely and emits warmth. The exterior does get hot.

Haven’t had an opportunity to use yet but it looks nice and sturdy.

I've had this fire-pit for a few months now and it functions very well. Keep in mind that as you sit by the stove, you will not observe the fire the in same way that you do with an ordinary camp-fire. Sitting round the stove allows you only to see the top portions of the flame, and not the glowing coals and embers (unless you are standing over it).Rain water is unlikely to cause damage but it will accumulate at the bottom of the pit - so you you just tip it or whatever and get it out. Mildly messy, no big deal. It does come with a cover but the cover sags during a rain and water accumulates. For the cover to work well you will need to make a lid to fit under it to prevent sagging. Probably best to store the stove inside for the winter if feasible.

I bought this around a year ago and really liked it. I only used it one time and the second time I used it was on New Year’s Eve and after that use the whole thing turned from a nice chrome color to a copper brown. Secondly it was smoking like crazy and I was hoping it would be little to no smoke. It’s just okay.
