This is a great product. It worked really well on a recent campout and helped us to leave no trace while still allowing us a source of warmth and a way to roast marshmallows for s'mores. I like that it collapses and saves valuable cargo space in my vehicle that I couldn't do with a traditional fire bowl. And it really does hold up virtually all the ash. Only the finest ash powder slipped through and that's easily mixed into the underlying dirt when everything else is cleaned up and packed away. When packing it back up, do be careful how the screen is wrapped around the legs because it is possible that the screen mesh, while durable, could get pinched and punctured with the corner of the square bracket that holds and supports the legs. And while it can certainly support the weight of the better part of an average bundle of firewood, I wouldn't go crazy on loading it up. A few split logs, as shown in the product pictures is plenty sufficient.
