Pros
- Six-person size at the same output; 'looks impressive for use at home on a patio or deck'
- Single listing, no variants; 9,403 owners
- Same maker, burner and kit as the best-overall pick
- OutdoorGearLab put this model on an infrared thermometer — one of two outlets that instrument the BTU claim at all
Cons
- Same output as the 19-in spread over a bigger bowl — it is not more heat, it is more flame to look at
- 'Could not get much flame out of it, and almost no heat' (May 2026); vapor lock if the tank valve is opened fast
- One owner's unit put flames out of the housing and hose after a year
- The cover 'puddles'; not returnable per two owners; missing lava rock on one delivery
Low flame for the money — 'We could not get much flame out of it, and almost no heat. We used up a 5 gallon bottle of propane' (May 2026), 'Does not put out much heat' (Dec 2025), three tanks tried before it lit (Feb 2025), vapor lock unless the valve is opened slowly. Second: a housing/hose fire after one year (May 2026). Third: a cover that puddles, not returnable, lava rock missing.

✓ Safety: no active recall — CPSC SaferProducts API queried 2026-09-06 by ProductName= ('fire pit', 'propane fire pit', 'fire bowl' and the brand name): no recall of a residential propane fire bowl or concrete fire table 2023–2026; the 2025–26 tabletop-fire-pit recalls are the ethanol 'flame-jetting' class, a different fuel. Propane: outdoor use only; every manual carries the same carbon-monoxide warning, and the manufacturers' shelter clause (a roof with no more than two side walls, or three walls with 30% of the perimeter open) is the definition of 'outdoors'.
