10 Reviews: Best Fire Pit For Environment (Mar 2023)

A stainless steel burner ring and pan are included with the Modeno York fire bowl, which is made of glass-fiber reinforced concrete. A PVC storage cover and 6.6 pounds of natural media fire stones are also included in this set. Because this fire bowl includes an automated safety shut-off and electrical ignition, you won’t have to worry about a wildfire because it will be immediately extinguished. To ensure its safety, this item has previously been CSA and CE certified. In terms of heat, this fire pit can produce up to 40,000 BTUs!

This one is perfect for a smokeless fire pit with a rustic feel that will become better with age. It’s composed of alloy steel that oxidizes and acquires a deep patina with time, giving it an aged appearance. The angled perforations around the base of the sculpture bring in oxygen to ignite the flames while also adding aesthetic flair. One piece of advice: prepare ahead of time where you’ll install the fire pit since it weighs a heavy 101 pounds.

Really good fire pit. Love the design, have a rust look to it. This thing is well built and weight 100lbs. This should last you a very long time. This is made out of corten steel, the same material use for building bridge and look better with age. Wish they have a lid for it. The smaller version have a lid but not this model. Hope they will release a lid for it soon! Once it gets going there are no smoke!

Even if a fire pit produces no smoke, sparks may still fly. This fire pit has a spark screen, as well as a retractable stand, a deflector ring to elevate it off the ground below, and a waterproof cover. The fire pit can store 16-inch logs, but there’s no ash pan at the bottom, so you’ll have to shovel them out the following day, as it’s likely too heavy to handle and dump at 43 pounds.

I received my fire pit a little while back. It is working better than expected and has held up well with the cover through the rain. It's not "smokeless", but really is smoke reducing. It produces decent heat and just looks good. I contacted Dragonfire about using duraflame and while the fire pit can accommodate a duraflame log, using hardwood is recommended and preferred (the fire pit isn't a flat surface and you won't get the flames and heat you would with hardwood). Hardwood has been working well so far. Using 2-3 12-15in logs lasts around 2 hours for me. Seems easy enough to clean as well.

For hibachi-style grilling, this smokeless fire pit is ideal. It has a fire pit, adjustable grill, and a variety of pre-installed accessories. You can easily set up the fire pit in your backyard for a quick gathering or barbecue because it doesn’t require any assembly. Customers give many positive feedbacks, with some remarking on how solid and well crafted it is.

Does everything it claims to, and very affordable. Have had for 2 weeks, and cooked multiple meals on it. # fat wood sticks, additional wood... put the light to it and then walk away. 30 minutes later it's smokeless and ready for cooking. The design does not throw off much heat, so don't get it if that's what you're looking for. I've recommended to several folks already, would not hesitate to buy again.

This is the sleekest and most contemporary of all the smokeless fire pits on the market. It has a sleek, premium appearance thanks to the low cylinder and square feet at the base. It also has enough presence, at around 27 inches broad, to be the focal point of your outdoor area. To protect your patio, wood deck, or backyard grass, add bricks or cinderblocks below.

Contrary to what Michael said I am happy with my Vevor pit. Packaging was also fine and styrofoam was firmer than most to protect the pit and unit arrived without damage. The welds look fine, and was able to move it to where I wanted it without issues. The edge can feel a bit sharp but it’s a fire pit its meant to be static and def not portable (camping trips) since it does weigh close to 40lbs. I did place it on a flat movers dolly since I didn’t have a second person to help once out of box. I had one burn and pit was smokeless as advertised after burn I didn’t notice any damage or warping. I am keeping it and happy with purchase compared to other similar pits costing 10x more.

This choice, which is little over a foot high, is ideal for a lightweight fire pit with a tiny footprint. It’s made of stainless steel and has a tiered top, a thin base, and openings on both sides to allow for maximum ventilation. Regular firewood may be used, albeit due to the fire pit’s small size, getting logs inside may be difficult. Wood pellets, which are easy to pour in and burn longer and hotter, are your best choice. The fire pit is very lightweight, weighing just 15 pounds. The wood pellets and carrying cases seen in the photographs are available for purchase separately.

Was a little hesitant for the splurge but so glad I did, I do a lot of solo camping you’re around and so tired of dealing with wood and smoke. The process of getting the fire started could not be easier, just takes about 10 minutes for it to get going which is about the same amount of time it takes me to collect my favorite beverage and settled into my outdoor lounge chair. Super easy to transport,I have neck issues and cannot lift a lot of weight without triggering pain so really appreciate the functionality of this fire pit. Super mobile and highly recommended. Money well spent!

This ultra-portable smokeless fire pit weighs just under 6 pounds and is ideal for camping excursions or bringing to a friend’s backyard. It comes with an easy-to-carry carrying case with shoulder straps and a retractable ash catch for quick cleansing. It’s built of heavy-duty steel with a high-temperature paint finish and can burn wood logs or pellets at temperatures up to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the manufacturer.

As another reviewer mentioned, I also use this when I just want a quick, easy fire without starting one in my backyard fire pit. I sit it on our wrought iron table on the deck and just enjoy the heat for a little while. Be sure to check your local big-box hardware store for hardwood pellets. The ones they sell for home heating are generally cheaper than what you can find online. Gel fire starter is a must to get these going. Overall, I love this thing!

The Solo Stove is an excellent alternative for camping if you want an ultra-light, efficient burner. This type is designed for a solitary traveler or camper who needs enough heat to boil water, cook supper, and perhaps roast a few marshmallows. The Lite burner is a fantastic addition to your camping gear, weighing in at a deceptively light nine ounces.

Very, very happy with this purchase. This stove creates a fire in minutes. I use a cotton ball dipped in Vaseline to get it started with kindling. The stove is lightweight, portable, has a carrying case, and leaves no mess because it completely cremates the wood. The way it’s made carries air through the appropriate vents to ignite and stay lit. We’ve even used it during a light drizzle and windy conditions and it still started up for me. You could use it at the beach. It’s not very big but a party of 8 can sit around it and roast things. I’ve even cooked chili with it for our hot dogs.

With sleek horizontal slats and slanted mid-century-modern legs, this fire pit stands out for its beautiful design. The weather-resistant fire pit is made of 16-gauge stainless steel and has a pull-out tray at the bottom to dump the ashes. It weighs around 45 pounds and requires ordinary firewood, but the supplied bag of wood pellets light up faster and have a 30-minute burn period. A carrying case is included with the fire pit, which is a wonderful bonus.

I did so much research before buying a fire pit. Initially, I wanted a gas fire pit, but my friends who had them said they weren't so great, plus expensive fire pits didn't seem too durable over time. My backyard is slightly modern or mid-century in style, and so I wanted something that would fit in well. Once I decided to go with a wood-burning fire pit, I found the Tiki and was blown away by how good it looked. Plus, I was excited about the promise of low smoke and the option of using the bags for a one-hour fire instead of lighting logs and burning them all night. The Tiki has really delivered on all of the above--I've had it for about 4 months and have had maybe a dozen fires. I am really, really pleased with it. It is easy to use, maintain, clean, etc.

This fire pit is powered by a lithium-ion battery that lasts for 24 hours on a single charge and can be charged by USB (or, an awesome-looking solar-powered carrying case sold separately). Furthermore, the flames may be manually adjusted on the power pack or using BioLite’s free Bluetooth app. The fire pit, which contains four regular fire logs that can be seen blazing through its mesh body at night, resembles a standalone fireplace. It has a high-temperature black enamel finish and a grill grate for hibachi-style charcoal grilling. There are four fan settings, however, it emits a high-pitched whine, which may be an issue for some.

We bought this for multiple reasons. First, we camp a lot and this is a much nicer way to have a safe campfire rather than trying to use the large steel containers most parks supply. And it's easy to tote around (comes with a carry bag). Plus we can cook on it while camping. Second, we love to sit around a fire outside in the evenings at home as well, and this fits the bill perfectly. I like the fact you can get your legs and feet close to it and keep warm. Doesn't take much wood to get a warm fire with little smoke. Takes some practice getting used to - but well worth it! Just remember to charge the battery ahead of time.
