I just found this conversation. I was fixin’ to post up the very same question. I’m contemplating buying one of these myself, and was wondering how many people that have one would buy one again? I think we would get a lot of use out of it. I always wake up around 4 in the morning and would like to make a big pot of coffee over a fire but hate trying to get one started that early. I also like the idea of having a fire in the evening and when we’re ready to go in for the night just turn it off instead of having to let it burn out or putting it out by dumping water on it.
