Bottom Line

This simple fire pit was specifically engineered to create efficiently burning, low-smoke fires.

Pros

Great heat output and great fire experience. Double-wall design maximizes airflow and burning process. Bottom vent holes let oxygen feed the fire while channeling warm oxygen between the walls of the stove and back into the fire. Efficient burn means little to no smoke. Singular construction requires no setup. Heavy-duty carry case included. Measures 14" H and 19.5" dia.

Cons

Prone to rust, so be sure to get a cover to keep water out. Consider drilling drainage holes in the bottom.
