How big a fire does it hold?

The bowl is 33 cm across and 27.5 cm tall, so it takes short split logs and small fuel. It is a small fire for two to four people, not a large blaze.

Does it really reduce smoke?

The open bowl and vented walls improve airflow, which can cut smoke compared with a solid drum. Smoke still depends on dry wood and wind, so expect some.

Can I use it on a wood deck or grass?

The base gets hot and there is no heat shield. Use it on bare ground, gravel or a fire-safe mat, and keep it away from dry grass and deck boards.

How long does it take to set up and pack?

It unfolds and locks together in a minute or two without tools. Packing takes longer because the metal must cool completely before it folds into the bag.

What comes in the box?

The fire pit and a wear-resistant storage bag. No grate, lid, spark screen or ash pan is included.

Will the stainless steel rust?

201/304 stainless resists rust better than plain steel, but it can still corrode if stored wet. Dry it fully and keep it in the bag in a covered, dry place.
