I bought the fire bowl for my summer fire / Verfeuer- / Stockbrot / UVM actions. Yes, it is lousy to sooty - so please do not unpack on the living room carpet. However arises when considering the later use to the question: What do I need a clean brazier ??? Contrary to some reviews my dish was wonderful burred. The dish is super. The price top. For the entire wall unit, I recommend to buy more 100 cm, but for the campfire evenings perfect !!
