I bought the RANGER 15" SOLO Fire Pit for ME! We have a beautiful inside fireplace that my husband frequently lights, but the logs are heavy, the bending is a problem and the fires never seem to light well for me. The RANGER is the perfect size for the our patio, the logs needed are much smaller and thinner and the fire lights almost instantly. It is very easy to clean and store. Once the tiny fire starter burns and the twigs catch fire, little or no work is needed except for placing 3 to 4 logs every now and then. They burn more slowly, no smoke, and heat our area just fine. The 19" would have been too heavy for me to easily clean and really not needed for just the two of us.
