Great if…
- You want a low-smoke backyard fire that can burn either firewood or pellets
- You want spark control included (screen + lift) without guessing compatibility
- You care about easier cleanup (top-access lift-out ash catch is the whole point)
- You want a stronger heat feel than many same-size smokeless pits, especially when running pellets
Think twice if…
- You want something you’ll move often (it’s a 21.6" dia patio pit, and the kit adds bulk/weight)
- You expect “zero smoke” from first spark to last coal (pellets are cleaner; firewood can still smoke some)
- You want a finish that stays pristine (paint will age; rust/patina is normal over time)
- You want strong leg-level warmth without add-ons (like many smokeless designs, a lot of heat drafts upward)
Our take…
This is a solid-size patio smokeless pit that’s designed to burn cleaner once it’s hot and make cleanup easy with a lift-out ash catch. With the spark screen + lift, it’s a safer “family patio” setup, but it’s still a bulky, mostly-stationary piece that will show heat wear/rust patina over time.

Worthy Mentions
- Dual-fuel is the big advantage: pellets tend to get you to a steadier, cleaner burn faster; firewood can be a little smokier unless it’s very dry and burning hot.
- The lift-out ash catch and handled grate insert make cleanup simpler than most, but you’ll still want to empty ash regularly so airflow stays strong and the “smokeless” effect doesn’t fade.
- The spark screen helps tame poppy embers, but it also makes tending the fire a bit more fiddly (you’ll be lifting the screen to add fuel), and it will soot up/discolor over time.

In Plain English
The real-world take
Short, practical notes—what matters, what doesn’t, and what to expect.
Why we like it
- Lift-out ash catch and grate insert makes cleanup simple (no digging ash out of the bottom).
- Dual-fuel flexibility: pellets for a steadier, cleaner burn; firewood for the classic vibe.
- The included spark screen helps keep embers contained, and the lift tool lets you move it safely to tend the fire.
Best for
- Patios and smaller backyards; small groups who sit fairly close; anyone who wants low-smoke burning plus added spark control
Things to know
- “Smokeless” is mostly mid-burn. Expect some smoke at startup and as the fire dies down (wood moisture matters a lot).
- It’s not a travel pit: around 16" tall and roughly 35 lb, so it’s more “lives on the patio” than “take it camping.”
- The spark screen is great for safety, but you’ll still need to lift it off to add wood or adjust the fire.
