Pros Easy to ignite, no smoke, can be used indoorsLow smoke, ultra portable, versatile due to multiple fuel typesPortable, inexpensive, included stand and fire ringSuperior airflow system, burns super clean, removable ashtrayGreat heat output and lightweight design, easy to transport and carry
Cons Bioethanol fuel can be pricey and other alcohol based fuels do not burn as wellCan be difficult to light when igniting, too small for substantial warmthNot very durable, subpar ash panExpensive, does not disperse heat outwards as much as we'd prefer, stand required to keep from burning your deckWill burn through wood quick, does not come with a cover
Bottom Line Inexpensive, fun tabletop pit that leaves no mess and is very easy to useA great way to roast marshmallows at the table or for styling a backyard event, but not the best for warmth and comfortA great value choice for those who want to try out a smokeless fire pit without emptying the walletA top-of-the-line smokeless fire pit built with efficient burning and longevity in mindA thoughtful design that combines great heat and easy to clean features
