The Yukon is much bigger and requires more firewood to get it going enough to enjoy the benefits of the reburn that reduces the smoke. Unless you are planning on entertaining more than 5 people all the time and/or have access to unlimited amounts of firewood, the Bonfire is the sweet spot in sizing.

Popular Mechanics tested 6 smokeless fire pits. The Breeo X Series 24 was voted best overall but its $600. The Solo Stove Bonfire 2 was voted best midsize. The Cuisinart was voted best for small spaces.
Reviews on Amazon give the Bonfire a 4.8 rating and the Cuisinart a 4.7 rating.
Edit; looks like the Cuisinart comes in 2 sizes, a 19.5 and a 24", so they both look like viable units with the current price of the Solo Stove $40 cheaper.

Another edit: The Cuisinart does look like a nice unit, I'm thinking about it myself. However, the Solo Stove comes with a carry case, making it easy to take it camping, and it doesn't appear that there is one available for the Cuisinart. I wonder if the Solo Stove carry case would work with the Cuisinart?
hmmm....

so whats nice - you can have a short fire, like, cup of coffee fire very easy if you want. if you want a long fire you will go through lots of pellets, thats fine, but you have to keep it roaring and that can be a little challenging. as they burn the ash packs down.
so i added some metal gutter downspout guards (and crimped the open end) to give me some buffer and that helps a lot, but again, you have to keep it rolling - itll chew through the pellets fast. if it dies down its smoke city if they burn down and smoulder, and can take a few minutes and some digging to give them enough air to get it going again.
the other bigger issue is quality - i barely have options for heating pellets around here. the first batch a couple years ago were fairly clean and burned well. the batch last year was another brand - i mean lowes just carries the one - and are really flaky and dusty. part of this is just the nature of pellets but these are nasty and always smoke up on me bad. since i cant get good quality...i like them but im kinda over them and just got some wood delivered.
