The Bonfire 2.0 is a double-walled stainless steel backyard fire pit designed to burn wood with much less smoke than an open fire. Owners a year or more in generally still like it, though many learn it is reduced-smoke rather than smokeless, eats wood quickly and throws less heat sideways than they expected for the price.
