Be prepared to chop all your wood into silly little pieces with this fire . They are typical of an average fire been advertised as the best think since sliced bread . Nothing is more painful than a fire with a small firebox . We have all been in that position where you have to bank up the fire but have to work around what’s all ready in the box and that piece that will do the job nicely just won’t go . Get a decent firebox people you won’t regret it like you will a small one .
