Hot!

This held up surprisingly well for being so compact! Our fire burned for a lot longer than expected and produced much less smoke than a ground fire. I’m sold!

Great lightweight pit, scorches ground underneath

The pit is lightweight, easy to setup and allows you to have a really nice, decent size, low smoke, warm fire. The mesh allows the heat to push outwards too instead of being funneled straight up in the air. What's even crazier is the mesh around the outside stayed cool to the touch, even cold dispite the incredible hot fire sitting in it. My one complaint is that the mat did not stop the ground scorching like expected. The morning after we picked up the mat that was under the pit and the ground underneath was completely scorched. I think there needs to be something else under the middle of the fire or the mat needs to be raised so there is an airgap under it. Unfortunately most places I camp I cannot leave a scorch mark, so I need to figure out how to fix this or the pit will not be usable.

Worked surprisingly well

This is a simple design and large. A good balance of lightweight and sturdy. We had a nice campfire in it over a weekend with the goal of minimal impact on the grass beneath the fire. When we left, the grass under it was scorched some but should recover on its own fine. The only challenge was attempting to cook foil meals. Not as easy to rake over some coals compared to a fire on the ground.

No stickers, poor form.

Just received it today and only have one complaint so far: it didn't come with any stickers. The fire pit itself looks excellent. It's surprisingly lightweight, folds down to about the size of a camp chair, and seems very well built. The frame construction feels stout, the mesh is much finer than I expected, and overall it appears like it's going to hold up well for years of use. The included fire blanket is a nice touch. Honestly, the mesh is so fine that I have a hard time imagining anything large enough to start a fire making it through, but I appreciate the extra layer of protection and I'm sure it'll come in handy. My only real criticism is the elastic bands used to secure everything when folded up. They're frustrating to put back on and feel unnecessarily cumbersome. That's an easy fix with a couple of small cam straps, but it seems like a strange design choice on an otherwise thoughtfully designed product. Overall, I'm very impressed with it so far and can't wait to get it out on a camping trip. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it didn't come with any stickers. This is a serious oversight that should be corrected immediately.
