Concrete Tabletop Fire Pit - Ethanol Fire Pit, Fire Bowl, Mini Personal Fireplace for Indoor & Garden - Bio Ethanol Fuel

decent little desktop fire doohickey

Great ambiance for the room. Easy to use. Bought several for gifts

We live in a Philly townhouse and don’t really have a backyard fit for anything huge - this is small enough to fit but large enough to be fun! I’ve used isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, and even citronella lamp oil! All work well, but the citronella oil is most definitely NOT smokeless (also the oil needs a strong lighter, use my little kitchen torch; the others don’t need a torch but it doesn’t light easier). Just make sure to clean thoroughly every between fuel types. I found out the alcohol is less dense than the oil and sinks, but also has a lower flashpoint so as the oil heats and burns, the alcohols droplets boil and explode… flammable exploding vapors… just clean thoroughly between fuels and you will love it!

Probably my worst purchase on Amazon ever. Fully loaded with recommend fuel, maybe last an hour if I’m lucky. I have about 75$ invested so far, probably better off picking twigs from the backyard to get a better burn time. My advice, don’t purchase this. WASTE OF MONEY!

I bought this one and another brand I like this one better it looks nicer and it came with a flame extinguisher (just a little cover) handy

I got this for my husband and he really enjoys it. We have used it pretty frequently since buying it for s’mores and to just to warm up. We are in an apt and it is perfect for the space we have. The price was kinda the only thing that sways me just because it’s like a cup of cement and a tin cup that holds the alcohol along with a little “marble” piece it sits on. We’re still going to probably buy a much bigger one once we get a house but overall it’s great and a nice talking piece when we have guests.

Obsessed. Worth every penny

Its ugly, to be honest, but the reviews on a similar one said it cracked from the heat, and none of the reviews for the Roundfire said that. My first fire went out about 10 minutes ago, and these are my impressions and experiences. I started out with about 1.5 inches of 70% alcohol. It would not light or it immediately went out, so make sure you put enough fuel in. I added more alcohol, maybe 3 inches total. I was able to light it after 5 tries, but that amount only burned for around 20-25 minutes. I should have timed it, so I could say exactly. I had 6 to 8 inch flames, measuring from the top of the unit. There was a good amount of attractive, mesmerizing flames, and it does put out heat to the immediate area. The exterior of the concrete didnt get hot right away, but it did halfway through and is still hot after about 15 minutes. I put it on a silicone honeycomb disc, but no heat transferred from the fake marble base to the disc. Maybe with a longer burn time it would, I dont know. The bottom edge of the marble is ragged, with small chips. I didnt notice that at first. Im not sure if the base will hold up, but you could put the unit on a piece of flat stone of some kind, or some other heat-resistant surface to protect the table you have it on. The bottom line is, I dont think Id buy any of the ones cheaper than this one. If money is tight, this unit probably functions as well as more expensive ones because they all use a stainless fuel cup inside something made of concrete, stone, marble, etc. For double the money, you can get a nice-looking marble one, but I balked because there were several metal outdoor fire pits that cost less than the marble tabletop one. Slightly apples and oranges, but you can get this Roundfire indoor unit plus an outdoor pit around 22 + both for the price of the marble one. While I was writing this, the concrete cooled enough to put my hand around the unit and leave it there. Last thing is the fuel didnt completely consume -- the flames extinguished themselves with about 1/8 inch of alcohol left in the cup. So it seems the alcohol-burners are all about volume. Take care that you follow the instructions to NOT re-fuel while hot! It must cool down first. Flaming alcohol or bio-fuel splattering over you and household surfaces would be very UN-fun. This is going to be true of any of these burners, I expect.

Got this for a birthday gift and it was a pretty big hit. Its heavy, good quality, and will probably last forever

This thing is so much fun. I will be getting it of use out of it
