This thing is 100% five stars. Just was up camping in the El Dorado national Forest. Wood fires were allowed and we initially lit a wood fire, we decided to fire up the Howl just to try it. It kept us warm, the ambiance was nice, and I can't believe how little propane is used over the weekend. We had it cranked all the way up and we easily have a third of a propane tank left. Although it looks like the ghost trap from Ghostbusters, it is actually an amazing campfire. Love it.
