    Blue Sky Peak

    Smokeless Fire Pit • 24" / with Spark Screen Kit

    The Blue Sky Peak is a patio-size smokeless fire pit that gives you a bigger, brighter wood fire without the usual smoke-in-your-eyes problem once it’s fully hot. At about a 24-inch footprint and roughly 16 inches tall, it feels like a true backyard pit for small groups, not a tabletop vibe piece.

    Great if…

    • You want a low-smoke backyard pit for 4–6 people without paying premium-brand pricing
    • You like burning pellets or firewood depending on the night
    • You want spark control included (screen + lift) for a safer, more contained burn
    • You want easier cleanup than most big pits (removable ash catch tray)

    Think twice if…

    • You want a portable/travel pit (it’s bulky and about 52 lbs)
    • You expect “zero smoke” from first spark to last coal (startup and low/ending fires can still smoke)
    • You want a forever-pretty finish (steel + high heat means visible wear over time)
    • You plan to use it directly on decks or delicate surfaces without proper protection

    Our take…

    This is a bigger, budget-friendlier backyard smokeless pit that includes a spark screen kit and an ash catch tray, so it feels less “accessory-dependent” than most. It burns clean once it’s hot, but it’s still a 50+ lb patio piece and the finish will age (heat wear/rust patina) if you leave it exposed.

    The quick, real-world stuff: cooking, warmth, space, and what it’s like to live with.

    Cooking Ready?

    Not for cookingSnack-only (s’mores, hot dogs)

    Ideal Group Size

    4–6 people (family size)6–8 people (small party)

    Heat Radius

    Comfortable within ~4 ft

    Space Needed

    Standard patio zone (6' x 6' clear space)Needs full seating circle (8–10 ft diameter)Not for small balconies or tight decks

    Worthy Mentions

    1. Dual-fuel is the real win: pellets give a quicker, steadier “smokeless” burn once it heats up; firewood works too, but smaller, drier splits keep it cleaner.
    2. Expect some smoke during the first 10–15 minutes (and anytime the fire is starving for oxygen); once it’s ripping hot, it’s noticeably lower-smoke.
    3. The spark screen helps with poppy embers, but it also makes tending fuel a little fussier and the screen will soot up over time; the ash catch tray is convenient, but needs regular dumping to keep airflow strong.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

    Short, practical notes—what matters, what doesn’t, and what to expect.

    Why we like it

    • The lift-out ash catch and grate insert (with handles) makes cleanup way easier than most wood pits
    • It can burn firewood and/or wood pellets, so you can choose “classic logs” or a more consistent, low-fuss burn
    • The wider top bezel and raised burn chamber help airflow and make the smokeless effect kick in more reliably
    • The included spark screen kit adds peace of mind for patios (especially when you’ve got kids, dogs, or gusty nights)

    Best for

    • Backyards and patios where you want a real wood fire with less smoke; small groups who sit fairly close; people who care about easy ash cleanup and added spark control

    Things to know

    • “Smokeless” is mostly mid-burn. Expect some smoke during startup and when the fire is dying down, especially with damp wood.
    • It runs hottest (and cleanest) with dry hardwood splits or quality pellets. Overloading it can make it dirtier until it catches up.
    • It’s built from steel with high-temp paint, but heat and weather will change the finish over time (discoloring and some rust is normal).
    • It’s not a grab-and-go pit. Plan on it living on the patio, not traveling with you.

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you want the same idea but bigger for more people, look at the Blue Sky Mammoth 30. If you want a more portable smokeless option, consider Blue Sky’s smaller portable models (like the Ridge) or step into a compact carry-friendly pit like the Solo Stove Ranger 2.0.
