Pros Easy to ignite, no smoke, can be used indoorsLow smoke, ultra portable, versatile due to multiple fuel typesLarge volume, burns hot, easy to igniteGreat heat output and lightweight design, easy to transport and carrySuperior airflow system, burns super clean, removable ashtray
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 warmthDifficult to clean, not very portableWill burn through wood quick, does not come with a coverExpensive, does not disperse heat outwards as much as we'd prefer, stand required to keep from burning your deck
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 large volume pit highlighted by its warmth and smokeless burnA thoughtful design that combines great heat and easy to clean featuresA top-of-the-line smokeless fire pit built with efficient burning and longevity in mind
