Absolutely love this product, I use it almost daily! Would have been nice to include a warning to burn outside on first use. Definitely put off a odor/fumes that were not great. Never had that problem again!

Took my portable fire pit on vacation to Oceanside this past week and it was a hit!! Made s’mores and it lit up our our patio perfectly. It’s clean and best of all it’s smokeless!! It will certainly be traveling with us everywhere we go!

We ordered 2 of these, one for a gift and one for our own use. It's a tad bit on the pricey side, but we made smores the first night and my husband made 3 smiling all the time. Really a neat item to add to your creative dining pleasure. Very easy to use. Would definately recommend. Just need some other ideas besides smores to cook on it. Very pleased with mini fire pit. Well made and packaged sufficiently.

AWESOME - so simple yet everyone can’t stop staring at it! Seller is also excellent customer service. The stone came with a all hairline crack and it was easy and simple to receive a replacement. I have a feeling this will be a popular gift this year!

I considered making a concrete alcohol stove, but after a few attempts and cracking under the heat, I decided to pull the trigger on this Colson alcohol stove. It arrived quickly, was packed very well and is attractive for those of us drawn to the simplicy of grey concrete. I filled it and lit it right away and it worked wonderfully. Because you cannot blow out the flames, it must either burn out or be "snuffed" out. I found the American Metalcraft TRVR5 Cast Iron Silicone Trivets, 5.05" Length x 4.95" Width, Black here on Amazon and it is the "PERFECT" fit for the Colson stove. It also looks fantastic on top of the stove. The flame is just as high as the one on my propane fire-pit, it gives off a surprising amount of heat, the bottom has a thick pad to avoid marring the table-top or any other surface you place it on and I forsee it lasting forever. If you really want to buy a well-made, high-quality alcohol stove and can afford the price, I think that this is the one to buy.

Indoors s'mores dream come true. I love this thing! It works well. The rustic look is nice, and it does not get too hot in the outside after use.

My wife loved this for our 8 year wedding anniversary gift. We even cooked s’mores on it!

I was worried this would not be safe with two little kids but it’s worked well for it’s intended purpose of making smores. Very easy to use and I love that the flame doesn’t last too long but long enough. I haven’t used it indoors yet but I do feel it’s safe enough. I believe the price of this has skyrocketed over the winter and I probably wouldn’t pay the inflated price.

Cute little fire pit. There's a slight smell when you first burn alcohol in it, but it's brief and expected for a new product. You really don't need anything special for it, just some rubbing alcohol. As long as you sit it on a clean, even surface before burning it won't burn too hot under. We've even roasted marshmallows over it and had a pretend campout with our kids indoors when the weather was too bad to go outside. It burns just long enough for fun. And when we've lost power we can use it as a light source and if we use it in a smaller room it can help keep warm.

This was a gift to my wife. She loves it. On these cold days this is great to have since we don't have a fireplace. Easy to light using the recommended isopropyl alcohol along with a lighter/torch. I see reading others comments they tried biofuel. That is not recommended by Colson. The flame lasts almost 30 minutes. It does get warm on the bottom even though it has some padding there. A trivet or coaster works well. I bought a gallon of alcohol so we wouldn't have to buy so many little ones. Amazon sells them and so does Walmart.
