Do smokeless fire pits give off enough heat?

This is the most consistent criticism in the data. High-trust r/SoloStove and r/camping posts repeatedly note that the airflow design sends most heat straight up rather than radiating outward, so you feel less warmth at chair height than with a traditional open fire. Larger-diameter models (Yukon, Breeo X24) radiate more to the sides than the smaller portable pits.
