Use as is with small fires only.
by Music nerd (3 out of 5 stars)

Wonderful product that lacks appropriate heat defusion between the end of the grill and the battery/fan pack. First unit burned out after the second night using the fire pit. Sent back to amazon and ordered replacement plus a heat shield. My solution may not be the prettiest but it should help eliminate battery burn out. Oh and biolote doesn't offer replacement battery/fans

Awesome...when taking variables into consideration
by DorkinDworkin (4 out of 5 stars)
December 7, 2018

We've had ours for about 6 months now and use it every other week or so on the patio and a few times at the beach/camping. There's little to no smoke once you have good combustion (look it up, not joking, understanding this will help you realize that most complaints are due to variables and not the device itself). We've had about 6 friends buy their own once they hung out with our firepit. So maybe we're doing something right. (See below)
1. Fueling the fire: Use well-dried wood (not heavy wet/dense wood). We use birch wood. Pine would work, but not oak etc. The cords at HD are small and easy to manage. This makes the most substantial difference in experience.
2. Building the fire: Be a good boy/girl scout and start your fire small and build it incrementally. This reduces smoke and gets to peak combustion faster.
3. Managing the fire: Adjust the fan as you add new logs and logs burn down... duh (see combustion). Try to keep the logs a few inches from the metal plate that's on the fan. The smaller birch wood cords make this very easy. We use a 24 in metal fire stick to turn and move the logs during our burns.
4. Build quality: we've had no problems with the fan or battery but were in the early deliveries so perhaps something has changed. So far so good. We did experience rust as we are in a marine environment, so everything metal rusts that's not stainless. Our solution; I sanded down the box and then repainted it using black "Header paint" for car exhaust manifolds. This is serious high temp paint and it has held up pretty well since. 90% reduction in rust.
5. The App: We've never used the app. Never put it on our phones. Seems kind of silly and there's nothing worse than looking at your phone when you're at a campfire. Lean it, push the button, manage the fire. That's half the fun.
6. Cleaning/Storage: Easy. We let it burn down, then the next day I dump the ash into the trash. I flip the cover and use it more like a bag and put it in our outdoor bins. Keeps it all nice and tidy.

Hopefully, this is helpful. Giving it 4 vs 5 because of having to repaint it. Otherwise it'd be 5.

Easy to use worried about longevity
by Daniel S. (3 out of 5 stars)

Fire pit works very well, I'd say 90% smoke reduction. The unit is rusting where the fire has burned off the paint and it is relatively thin metal, so I'm worried it will rust out in a year or so.

Battery unit does not turn on or charge
by RetroSpec, LLC (1 out of 5 stars)
November 20, 2018

Product works good as a fire pit but the battery energy unit does not work at all will not take a charge will not turn on or anything honest very first outing in a campground. No phone number to called BioLite even though they tell you if battery unit does not charge to contact them. Sent two emails, no answer no reply this product is not worth the money that they're asking for it

So hot it warped
by Philip S. (1 out of 5 stars)
January 26, 2019

Warped under it's own heat after about 4 uses. Now it's useless as a camping item and has been downgraded to burning scraps. Feeding air for a clean burn is a great idea, but that makes it hotter meaning the metal can't be so thin or it will warp. It was a waste of money for me.

Wonderful quaint patio addition
by NikkiD (4 out of 5 stars)
September 9, 2018

Wonderful small firepit. Smaller than I thought, but nicely sized for easy handling and carrying. Love the mesh sides so everyone can see the flames. Currently using smaller birch wood, which fits nicely. 3 pieces to start, then we add more wood as they burn down. The adjustable fan keeps flame and embers under control. The 2 highest fan settings are pretty loud, but we haven't needed them. Low and medium fan settlings are perfect and nearly noiseless. The Android app closes unexpectedly often or sometimes can't find the firepit to connect to. After a few tries, it works. Overall, I'm pleased with the price and features. App needs work.

Definitely Smokeless... after initial start up!
by Tampa Pool Pro (4 out of 5 stars)
December 15, 2018

Update... everyone else is right. The Bluetooth Unit gets very Hot! Definitely a design flaw! Burned my hands trying to remove; as it was starting to melt and burn. Removed (1) star for poor design in that. Otherwise, still Smokeless! Ok... I don't normally do reviews on Amazon. I did not get this product for free.

After 45 minutes of initially starting it up, having a roaring flame going... There was a little smoke initially dot-dot-dot as expected...but once it gets going, there is absolutely no smoke... The heat is intense enough for me to move back 3 feet from the burner. Needless to say I'm very happy with the product. Now... let's see how long it lasts!

Still smokes/Noisey but is still a good idea and product
by Delilah Panio (3 out of 5 stars)
October 27, 2018

Please don't get the 3 stars wrong...it will burn tho ha down nicely and is portable.

However...using only dry wood and charcoal to start...it smoked no matter what setting it was on.

The battery will last only a couple hours if on the High setting...and it didn't seem to charge fast (overnight for direct plug in to electric socket) and the Solar...maybe to keep it topped off once charged...otherwise good luck on cloudy days.

It is beautifully constructed and pairs very well with my IPhone to check battery status or changing air speed.

I like it... but honestly... it's too noisy and Smokey for anything other than a tailgate or camping overnight on a sunny weekend.

Should call this a "RustPit"
by Megan E. Hubbard (1 out of 5 stars)
July 7, 2019

I was sooooo excited to purchase my BioLite FirePit. The ability to have a portable campfire that can burn both wood or charcoal AND you can cook on was a perfect solution for our camping needs. In theory, this Firepit is amazing. It does lite easily, looks pretty, burns both wood or charcoal, and has an easily adjustable rack for cooking. We have made S'Mores, Hotdogs, Foil packs and even steaks on this. Unfortunately, it rusts. Badly. We've used ours on three camping trips in 3 months. I'm so disappointed in how quickly it rusted. Instructions say to wipe it down if it gets wet. Which we do. But let's be honest. When camping, things get wet. A lot. I really wanted to love this Firepit as it checked all the boxes for me, but it looks like it's going to be a $200 rusty piece of trash instead. If BioLite could make this out of a more durable material (perhaps stainless steel) it would be a win. For now... it's two thumbs down.
