We purchased this to use in our screen porch as we didn't know if a propane based firepit would be safe. The Gel based fire bowl works great and as promised. The delivery only took a couple of days and the setup took about 5 min. We tested our new firebowl tonight and it was very simple to operate. We poured the gel into the two compartments and lit each side using a bic scripto lighter and the gel lit up instantly and created a very nice flame and crackle. We used one 29 oz bottle total split between the two sides and got approx 2 hours of burn. The firebowl looks great and works very well. The flames are not huge or create much for heat, but definitely create a nice "ambiance" fire for sitting around with friends or family. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing, no hassle fire in an area that doesn't allow for a wood or propane based fire.

I love this fire bowl. It is great because it comes with a cover and a snuffer to extinguish the flame. It looks like a quality product and looks great outside on my patio. I am planning to order another one.

I have a smaller patio where propane and wood burning not allowed, this fire bowl fit perfectly. When the bowl was filled with gel and lit, it threw off some heat but this fire bowl is meant for ambiance. This made the fall weather much more enjoyable! Just remember to measure the gel fuel according to how long you want the fire to burn. If you have to put it out early, the remaining gel is useless and won't re-light. The gel fuel bottles last a long time, we've used it several times and have barely gone through two bottles.

Honest reviews on Real Flame Hampton Fire Bowl

We've been wanting a fire pit for some time now but were hesitant due to the possibility of sparks from a wood fire. This fire bowl is a great substitute. It sets up very easily (just three screws) and looks really nice. The fire it produces crackles just like a wood fire and produces a little heat (although that was not our reason for purchasing it). It makes for a nice gathering spot. It is also very nice that it comes with a cover which fits perfectly. Only negatives: there were no instructions in the box; screws were too short and had to be replaced with our own; even though it's Amazon Prime eligible, it took a week to arrive (the fine print says it may take 1-2 extra days, but it was more like 5). The "grey" color is really more of a tan, but it looks like stone and that wasn't a deal breaker.

First off, those rocks sit on a tray on the top. The majority of the bowl is empty. So I ask, why is this $200? Maybe all materials cost $80 tops.

Biggest issue though is the fuel. It's a gel and it's sold in a can. Pouring it in ends up with gobs of the gel on the rocks and not the little wells it needs to go into. Then one can lasts maybe 20 mins. So save money and use %70 alcohol instead.
