Love the Radiate! Simple to light and the fire is up to max size fairly quickly...certainly quicker than a traditional wood campfire; regardless of any fire starter that can be used. At the max the flame gets up to a few feet high with no wind. I have not tried it placing multiple Radiates next to each other to see if that makes the flame higher. Do not be deceived, for the size this thing puts out some heat. Dead winter in the Pacific Northwest and I can sit outside for ~30mins and be comfortable a few feet away from a single Radiate. It will certainly keep your legs very warm if you’re a few ft away from it. I’d say 3 to 4 people could comfortably sit around it and all get plenty of heat. Virtually no smoke and what smoke there is, it is a neutral to pleasant smell...certainly will not make your cloths stink. And it resolves the biggest discomfort of traditional fires: where any wind change can result in a face full of smoke and burning eyes. Wind changes are now pleasant as it just gives you a boost of heat without stinging eyes. Without question, the easiest and most convenient part of the Radiate is putting the fire out! Just slide the lid right over it. ***Beware: there will be lots of smoke that will billow out once the flame is extinguished*** The instructions say to not use indoors and I would absolutely adhere to that, even though I’d love to light it in my garage. If you are like me and do not necessary enjoy extendedly long camp/bonfires, don’t appreciate smoke hitting your eyes with a wind change, stinky cloths afterwards and the hassle of putting out fires/dealing with embers, I would say the Radiate would well worth a try! So far the most enjoyable use I have found from the Radiate is sitting around it with a good cigar!
