That's because you have people commenting who don't know what the frick they are talking about. Either that or they don't know how to build a fire..

Neither of those have ever stopped anybody from having an opinion and sharing it loudly. Seems the opinions get louder the less folks know.

Love mine. Bought the bonfire then a few months later the Yukon came out. Wish I had that one.
Like others have said once it gets rolling it’s pretty much smokeless.

I have a Bonfire and love it.
I was getting a fire going a couple weeks ago and the neighbors were doing the same. Their kids were very excited to tell me that they had just gotten the same fire pit as me.
Keeping up with the Joneses is real.

I prefer and open pit over my bonfire. It's a cool novelty pit, but I don't find the heat anywhere near that of a traditional open firepit.
Never had a really problem with smoke when building small fires anyway so not sure if there is some great improvement.
Like someone said, all the firewood will be gone, it is good at burning.

I have a yukon
Looks great ( i had a local custom metal shop cut a weatherproof disc to go over the top and then i put on a $2 handleb that i got at lowes
My problem is....smokeless is still dependant on the wood
And i have yet to get a fire hot enough to burn with out ash and....then it becomes a pain to get all the ash out because the only way i know how is to pick it up and dump it over. Pics of the double fire look great though
I will also add...there customer service was great (ordered directly from their site) my original had a ding in it from delivery but was needed it for a gathering. They told me to go ahead and use it ..just dump the ash out before i return it. And they sent a new one with a return slip for the dinged one
So overall i would give it a 7. If you can get it truly hot enough to burn the ash...then 9 or 10

I too have the Bonfire and my only real complaint is its a tad small for most split wood you buy off the side of the road. But after a couple bourbons I have a good reason to fire up the chainsaw. 
Pro Tip:
Get the large round (1" thick wood disk) from Home Depot and a couple casters. The Bonfire fits perfectly on dat and you can move it around to where you want it.

I used the Lite backpacking/camping. Works great. Not sure how well it scales up to their bonfire ones though.

I bought the Bonfire pit ~4 years ago.
As others have noted, it only burns clean after it heats up. But after that it's great. Good clean flame with little to no smoke. And nothing left afterwards but ashes.
I prefer a wood burner as I like the sound of crackling wood as it burns. Very soothing.

We have an open fire pit in our backyard, and once the fire gets good and hot, it doesn't smoke all that much. It takes about an hour for it to get up to temp though, so I have to plan ahead a little to get it good and going if we're having people over.
Of course, it also depends on the type of wood and how seasoned it is. I have found that well seasoned oak is the best. But if the wood is still a little green, it's going to smoke/steam no matter how hot the fire is.

I’m looking at pulling the trigger on the Yukon size solo stove fire pit. Should I ask this in the outdoor board? They have a couple of sizes and say they are smokeless using real wood. Hoping for some feedback. TIA..
We also have the Yukon and it is awesome!! As everyone else said, it takes s as a about 30 mins to being smokeless. We eve have a brick enclosure around it and it still works like a charm!

Naw. But weld two old tractor trailer rims together with zip ties and you have a beast of a fire pit. I go through a lot of zip ties for some reason.

My 25 dollar fire pit I built with bricks is better plus it looks manly and it burns big pieces of wood and I could put a spit on it if I wanted.
You can have your solo girly man warmer pit
