We previously had a small table top fire pot but can't find the canisters for it anymore. So we ordered this little beauty along with a case of alcohol. The blue pot is very pretty, came with pretty blue stones. Easy to assemble. The flames are very pretty and much higher / better than our old pot. It lasted about 45 minutes. We read all the reviews and so we were prepared for the flame to shoot up fairly high and expected to hear a pop when most of the alcohol was burned off . Sure enough, that did happen. When it did, we placed the cover over it to smother the flame. It worked great (so far), we use it on the lanai. We get 3 or 4 uses out of 1 bottle of alcohol.
