Flame Genie Wood Pellet Fire Pit

I installed this into my existing outdoor wood fireplace as a replacement for the smoke and hassle of dealing with a regular wood fire. First, this produced an amazing fire easily and smoke free. In addition the heat output was way higher than with regular wood. I would have given a 5 star rating however the fire only lasted about 40minutes. After that you have smoldering ashes albeit with minimal smoke. I heaped in some additional wood pellets and initially just got smoke. At this point I was pretty disappointed. However I then realised that to light this I needed to pour on additional fire starter fluid (generously). I ignited this easily with a lighter and within a few seconds the flame took hold and the smoke cleared quickly. A minute later the flame was roaring again. Again it didn't last too long but I cant blame the product for this as I did get the smaller size so it could fit my existing fireplace. If you don't have a size restriction then go for a bigger size if you want additional volume for more pellets and therefore a longer lasting fire.

The delivery was superfast as it was coming from the US and the price was fantastic! The flame genie was bought as a present and it was quite the surprise! Will definitley buy again!

Let me start off by saying that the experience of ordering from Amazon had been great. The product however, not so much. I have had my eye on this flame Genie for over a year. I loved the idea of not having to keep wood stored in my yard to have a backyard fire, and the flame looked so cool on the product videos. I finally decided to purchase this and could not wait to try it out. I will say that this product, at least for me, worked exactly as advertised for the first 30 to 40 min. After that it was a bust, could not keep the flame going no matter what I tried. I tried adding pellets in small amounts, larger amounts and even throwing them in one at a time, I was always left with a smoldering pile of wood pellets. I really wanted this to work, over three nights and three different brands of Premium hardwood pellets the results were all the same........ worked as advertised for the first 30 to 40 minutes and then could not get the "flame genie" to flame. I cannot stress how disappointed I am about this product.

The brasero is absolutely amazing. Takes around 15 minutes for it to get to the full effect. Only thing negative: the packaging and shipping was inadequate for an item this price. It was shipped in its commercial box, which had no padding whatsoever, resulting in bumps, dents and paint scratches as shown in pictures.

The flame Genie was anything but smokeless, The pellet is not a consistent burn, God forbid there is even a draft of air, the flame disappears and the smoke show begins.I tried using the fire pit on 5 different occasions and was smoked out of House and home.My neighbors thought my house was on fire! I followed every instruction and even watched video's before delivery.The concept is interesting but is not a stable burn, If the pellets get just a little bit of wind the flame go's out.If you like your neighbors, do not use this product in a neighborhood setting.returned the product, and sad because I really wanted it to work.
