    Nice...

    I have been around several of the "Driveway/backyard" type metal fire pits....Yeah...they smoke like any campfire.....And always seem to be blowing in your face :picard: This always takes the fun out of the social gathering.....
    The unit in the video does make good use of the forced draft effect to clear the smoke....

    Using the pellets make a very handy and clean way to have a very nice fire for the backyard gathering .
    Unless you have a good supply of well cured wood on hand the results are not as likely to be as good as shown....
    High moisture content wood is going to make a lot more smoke....

    We have one of the Orange clay "Terracotta" fire pits on the patio.....Some clown added 2" river rock cemented to the surface of the thing.....Bad plan....Rain seeps into the area behind the rocks...turns to steam then the rock fly off with explosive force.....
    WE do not use it any more....

    The metal unit is nice...

    My suggestion would be to wash it out well after the fire is out and the unit is cold.....Then get it indoors (Garage or shed...DRY PLACE) to prolong the life of the metal....
    The corrosive action of the ashes and water....gonna really shorten the life of the unit if left out.

    Don....Thank you for sharing....:yes:
