Nice video, thank you for putting this together. We already have two smokeless for different purposes and in need of additional firepit for another property. I have a small solo, a tiki and decide to just purchase this over a few options that costco had. The tiki and solo have been great. The design of this appears better than the one that Costco has and it was good to see your positive review, it helped me decide this was the option that best meets my needs for this location.

Thanks for the review! Saw it at Sams on sale but wasn’t sure if it really worked. This was very helpful!

I just bought one today, need to assemble it tomorrow. It’s starting to get cool enough to enjoy it. My old cheap pit never did burn very well, hope these do better. Thanks

You will love it. I am enjoying my fire pit tonight!

Thanks for the review. I bought this same model at a discount store yesterday for $75. Haven’t got it assembled yet. Looking forward to using it. I believe the way the smoke free factor is about the same as a the way a rocket stove is smoke free after the fire gets going.

Thanks for the review thinking of getting 1 really help

Thank you sir, very helpful!!

Thanks we just purchased it

Thanks for the review! Couldn’t find one of it actually being used. I’ll probably pick one up now. #backtheblue

I will add that I stayed at a campground this weekend that has only been open for a year and the site has Solo stoves. The solo stove I used was slightly small than my firepit, worked about the same as far as smokeless and was in way worse shape. Their fire pit was really rusty and discolored. In fairness I have no way to know how much more use they have on that pit vs mine and how often it gets cleaned.

Thank you!!

Good review. This is very similiar in appearance to the USA made Breeo but at a fraction of the price. The Breeo can be used (according to the advertisement) as a grill. Basically you just lay hamburgers, steaks, etc on the stainless lip and use that as a cooking surface. When the pit gets hot, the top lip is designed to flex inward enough that the juices will run to the inside and not down the outside. Have you tried this with this one? Thanks!! God Bless.

I have not tried that but I know that lip gets very hot.

Can the rim be used as a cooking sear plate? Looks big enough. Thanks! Great Video.

I mean it does get hot but also collects debris. I would so no because it depends the consistency of the fire on how hot it would be. Plus would make a huge mess.

Thank you for your review. I’ve been thinking of getting one but not sure of what size. How far do you think the heat radius goes out? And how many people could comfortably sit around it (in say folding lawn chairs) and stay warm? Thank you.

@ACSOFox30

Жыл бұрын

We fit 5-6 people around ours but if you keep it fed with wood and flames coming out the top I would say 6-8 comfortably. The trick is to get red hot coals in the entire bottom and then keep putting logs in after that and it stays nice and warm.

@@ACSOFox30 , thanks. They had both on sale when we went there yesterday. We were tempted by the larger one, but another KZreadr mentioned that in order to get them to be "smokeless", you need to have the barrel fairly full of active fire (to heat up that cylinder), which is harder to do with a 30" diameter burn barrel. We went with the smaller one and will see how well it fits our needs. I was pining for one of those fancy Breeo pits, but those are a significant investment, so this MM one will give us a feel for how big of a pit we need (and only cost $180 on sale).

Heat will do that to the metal itself also. Gray black blues and golden hue sometimes even. It's just a matter of physics sometimes. But it's still solid :)

Could the base hold enough weight to cook a cast iron dutch oven style meal in the bottom? OR are the 2 catch pans in the bottom not meant to hold weight?

I would say it’s about the same as a normal fire pit. Most of the time I am backing up because it is so hot. If you keep it fed with wood it puts out a good bit of heat.
