People, people! Please do not attempt to use a portable fire pit indoors! A very smart otherwise friend just made a very bad mistake.
Oh dear. Did they burn the house down or just give themselves smoke inhallation?
No persons or felines harmed. Nor purportedly furniture. I fear for the floorboards.
Did they at least get a visit from some firemen?
@Catfish @RustyRaven Oh dear.
By any chance, did this otherwise smart person have a few drinks before deciding that bringing the portable firepit inside was a good idea?
Nope. It was an intentional plan & new purchase. The cunning part lacking.
@Catfish Okay, so you have to tell us the full story.
What possessed your friend to do this? Why did they think an indoor fire without a chimney was a good idea?
My knowledge is limited. They are being deliberately oblique about just how bad it got. However they have been soundly told off by many, many people.
I wish I had one of those and a proper yard to put it in... Marshmallows and bevs
