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.

Cooking Ready?

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

Ideal Group Size

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 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Other HearthTrail favorites

If you want more room and a bigger flame for more people, the Blue Sky Mammoth 30" is the step-up. If you want a more premium ecosystem for cooking add-ons, the Breeo X Series 24 is a common cross-shop.
