Well sadly, I returned this item on July 27th,2026 I never opened the box so I can not really comment on how it functions. It might be good for camping or to take it to a park. Not something that an older person might do. Unless you have very enthusiastic people in your life to enjoy such an item.

This is a well built little stove. It is made of steel and is put together well. I believe the chimney could be a lot longer, however, that would not allow for it to break down and fit inside the stove for travel. I appreciate the small fire blanket that was provided with this stove it will come in handy! I really enjoy the tine cut outs of fire around the bottom if this stove- thats just fun! The way the side shelfs turn up into handles for transport is also an interesting idea. Over all, I would recommend this item to others.

This is a cute outdoor chimnea. We plan on trying it out once it cools off a bit more here. It was well packaged and easy to take out and set up. It can easily be done by one person. This will be perfect for the backyard and camping.
