Is it really smokeless?

It uses secondary air to reburn smoke, so it smokes far less than a plain bowl once the fire is hot. Expect some smoke at startup and with damp wood.

What size logs does it take?

The 26-inch bowl takes standard firewood, roughly 16 to 18 inches long. Split logs light and burn cleaner than whole rounds.

The steel is painted, not stainless, so standing water will cause rust over time. Cover it or store it when not in use.

No. Plan on buying a cover and a screen or poker separately if you need them.

Yes, if you keep clearance from walls and furniture. It gives real flame and heat without a gas line, but it is not a tabletop size.
