Do these pits put out enough heat to keep you warm?

This is the most common criticism in the data. Multiple high-trust community threads (r/camping, r/SoloStove, r/Breeo) note that the upward airflow design that suppresses smoke also directs heat upward, so you often have to sit close. Larger pits radiate more, but reviewers warn most smokeless designs trade ground-level warmth for cleaner flames.
