The Solo Stove Bonfire is basic and lightweight - it weighs less than half as much as our other options. Indeed, it is so compact that we encountered no difficulty concealing it under garden furniture or even in the carport while not in use. As with the other fire pits we examined, the Bonfire is simple to fill with wood and light. Still, due to the reduced pit diameter, standard-size logs must be stacked carefully to fit in.

Is the Solo Stove Bonfire actually "non-smoking"? Not 100%, but still, once lit, the Bonfire consumes a significant amount of the excess smoke; according to our admittedly hasty calculations, the fire pit decreases smoke by roughly 70% to 80%.

One perhaps unintended result of this smoke-reducing process is that all of its gas diversion seems to pool the heat of the fire directly into the air, lessening the amount of radiant heat you would expect to experience when sitting near a standard fire pit.

We have tried out a lot of fire pits. And yet, none of the pits we evaluated can completely replace a charcoal grill or gas stove. One of the very few exceptions we have is none other than this Breeo X Series 24 - particularly when equipped with intuitive tools such as a broad SearPlate rim (at an additional $120), a post and barbeque plate (you can also keep driving it into the soil surface over an open fire), or a kettle snare for a cast-iron pot.

Once you have made the purchase, you will realize that there are very few things you cannot cook on the Breeo X Series 24. Still, it does require some commitment - both financially and in terms of time.

Although open-fire cooking is not for everyone - it is not as simple or convenient as grilling on a gas or coal grill - some people might still appreciate this unique cooking experience and the resulting woody aromas.

This model is comparable to a Solo Stove Bonfire - but this time, with a thicker skin wrapped all around it. Although you are likely to want to keep this Tiki Fire Pit in place after it is put up, its more traditional patio style does not stand out as much as the layouts of our other options.

The Tiki has an easy-to-remove ash collecting plate that makes cleansing the pit after usage a breeze. Due to the "re-burning" effect (which recycles smoke and particulates through the pit), most smokeless fire pits often create very thin and easy-to-clean ashes with little debris - although, unlike the Tiki, the majority of the pits we examined need to be turned over and emptied before we began our cleaning process.

Tiki also offers wood-pellet packets as fueling or starter bags; they are convenient, but not compulsory for starting a fire. And last but not least, the Tiki Fire Pit features a covering that fits snugly over the whole pit when not in use.

To be honest, we were suspicious at first about depending on batteries to operate the BioLite FirePit+. However, much to our amazement, the batteries never drained in any firing session. Indeed, we could light up to three flames with a single battery. In addition, the fan features four speed settings—low, medium, high, maximum - with a stated operating duration of up to 32 hours on low.

The BioLite FirePit+ is certainly the most transportable model we examined due to its compact size and weight, along with foldable legs. Because of its dimensions, we discovered that this pit functioned best when we cut our standard firewood into diameter pieces of around 2 or 3 inches. The rectangular form of the pit was ideal for around four (logs 13 to 14-inch-long).

When we utilized the FirePit+ pit with the blower set to low or medium, we did observe an odd puff of smoke, mainly during windy conditions. However, with the fan adjusted to maximum speed, the wisps vanished almost entirely.

There is one thing we should make clear first. A fire pit that produces no smoke does not mean there will not be sparks emitted. And unfortunately, there are not many fire pits on the market that are equipped with enough tools to protect you from such sparks. But to our amazement, the Dragonfire 23.5 variant has entered the picture. It boasts a robust shield that will protect its users from harmful sparks. You can use it safely for extended periods of time.

In addition, the Dragonfire 23.5 fire pit also has a detachable handle, a deflecting ring (to elevate it off the ground), and a weatherproof cover. Even better, the pit is big enough to accommodate 16-inch logs. There are not many commercial alternatives that could reach that level of perfection!

Still, one drawback is that there is no bottom pan for ashes. We suggest scooping them out the following day, since the 43-pound weight of the pit makes them difficult to lift and dump.

This Cast Master Bon 2000 non-smoking fire pit is ideal for cooking hibachi-style. So for anyone who enjoys these cooking procedures, there are few other options in the market that could surpass this fire pit! To be more precise, the item has a 19-inch grate. Hence, it is suitable for cooking with hardwood, briquettes, charcoal, or softwood. You are free to choose any type of wood you prefer! Charcoal and hardwood are the most popular choices by far.

The Bon 2000 is manufactured by Cast Master Elite in South Carolina - a brand well-known for durable items. It is no surprise that this Cast Master Bon 2000 kit is also constructed of rust-resistant stainless steel, which is resistant to high temperatures and can withstand harsh conditions for years to come.

Lastly, the item weighs around 33 pounds and can be packaged in a tough carrying case. This rather compact weight, combined with the features above, earns the product an overall score of 4.7 stars on Amazon. Multiple consumers have remarked on its durability and quality construction.

Cuisinart COH-800 is unlike any other smokeless fire pit due to its bowl-shaped design. It has three components: the main section, a top circle that serves as a windshield, and a bottom that serves as an ashtray tray. We could pull it off with a bend of its body, place it somewhere else, and then pour the ash from the base. We cannot emphasize enough how much simpler our cleaning process becomes with the removable base. It is a really useful feature.

One benefit of the dished form of this Cuisinart COH-800 was that it seemed to reflect a significant amount of heat outward at an angle. Even when the embers were not extending out of the pit, they formed a warm area in the form of a squat cone. And once they have fully extended, you could sense an increase in the amount of heat radiating directly from them.

However, a minor drawback of the concave design is that, even though we were able to put 14-inch logs within it, they did not fall to the bottom. This made it harder to replenish the pit and maintain a larger fire.

Are you searching for a dry fire pit with earthy vibes? Do you want it to grow better in quality over time and facilitate long-term usage? Then you have come to the right place. We are confident to tell you that this Titan Corten Steel fire pit is an excellent choice for you. So what makes it stand out from other competitors, exactly? The next sections will sum up some of its outstanding features.

First of all, the Titan Corten Steel fire pit - as its name suggests - is crafted from a steel material. Such fibers will oxidize and develop a beautiful patina with time. Hence, the item will enjoy a worn appearance that adds more depth to its rustic vibe. Secondly, angled perforations around the base help pull oxygen into the flames, making your fire larger and vibrant.

One bit of advice: You should determine the location of the fire pit in advance, since it is quite hefty - a whopping 85 pounds.

The Blue Sky Outdoor Steel Peak is a great bargain and deserves a spot on our list of the best smokeless fire pits. The reason is due to its weight and quality construction. These are the most distinctive features of this fire pit. Also, if you love to purchase an item with a rugged build and substantial weight of a high-end dry pit at a lesser cost, this is the one for you.

In addition, the Blue Sky Outdoor Steel Peak has a larger diameter than the majority of the fire pits we evaluated, allowing you to stack normal logs without having to create a pyramid.

Another minor advantage is that the prominent laser-cut logo around the bottom border is eye-catching, so you may also use it as a decoration item for your camping night. The whole structure resembles a component of a cruise missile or an extraterrestrial aircraft - if those visual aesthetics sound appealing to you, you will appreciate this fire pit.

The Burly Scout Stainless Fire Pit is truly the only one we evaluated that comes in two parts. They are cylinders and a nesting insert. These features help users eliminate two of the problems associated with smokeless pits: washing and transportation. Hence, it makes its way into our list of the best smokeless fire pits.

To be precise, the Burly Scout Stainless Fire Pit is the most visibly well-built pit we evaluated. And yet, it is also the most over-engineered. Do you like to spend a great deal of money for high-quality items with stamped "Made in the USA," robust oak handles, elevated steel, and hand soldering? Probably not. Still, if you would like to be certain you are getting the greatest craftsmanship and a gorgeous design - which no other pits we evaluated can match - this is your only option.

Burly also manufactures a somewhat bigger version of the Gather pit with the same style. Both the Scout and the Gather are available with comparable lids.
