Breeo X Series 19 (Stainless Steel)

Smokeless Fire Pit • 22.1"

The Breeo X Series 19 (Stainless Steel) is a compact-but-serious smokeless wood fire pit with a wide, low bowl feel and a heavy, “built for life” vibe. It’s the kind of pit you buy when you want a cleaner burn and you also want the option to cook over real flame.

Great if…

  • You want a low-smoke backyard pit that’s built like a tank and can stay outside
  • You plan to cook over the fire (this is where Breeo really separates from most smokeless pits)
  • You want a pit that feels stable and substantial, not thin or flimsy
  • You’re usually hosting a small-to-medium circle and want a controlled, clean burn once it’s rolling

Think twice if…

  • You want something easy to carry or toss in the car (it’s heavy and awkward at 47 lbs)
  • You’re price-sensitive once you start adding the “must-have” accessories (lid, spark screen, grill, etc.)
  • You expect zero smoke at all times (startup and low/ending fires can still smoke if wood is damp)
  • You need something truly deck-friendly without extra protection underneath

Our take…

This is a heavy-duty, backyard-first smokeless pit that’s built to live outside and doubles as a legit live-fire cooking rig if you add Breeo’s accessories. You’re paying for durability and versatility, not lightweight portability or a “cheap and cheerful” price.

Basics

Backyard Basics

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

Cooking Ready?

Works with grill / griddle accessoriesCooking-ready with grill / griddle top (sold separately)High-heat searing & grillingGreat for Dutch ovens / cast iron

Ideal Group Size

2–3 people (tight circle)2–4 people (small group)

Heat Radius

Cozy within ~3 ft (tight circle)

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

  • Not truly “portable”: it’s around 47 lb and meant to live in one spot; easy to move with two hands, but not a grab-and-go pit.
  • Needs the right setup for decks: if you’re on a wood or composite deck, plan on a proper fire pit base / heat barrier. On stone or concrete, it’s straightforward.
  • Cleanup is manual: there’s no built-in ash pan, so you’ll be scooping or vacuuming out ash once it cools. Also, smokeless performance is best after it heats up and with 14"–16" dry splits (startup can still be a little smoky).

In Plain English

The real-world take

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

Why we like it

  • Really durable build and steady, planted feel (it’s not a lightweight “camp toy” pit)
  • The smokeless effect is legit once the fire gets hot and the secondary burn kicks in
  • Great size for a small patio circle, but still roomy enough for a satisfying flame
  • Breeo’s accessory system is a big deal if you want to grill, sear, or do live-fire cooking

Best for

  • Small patios and backyard seating circles; people who hate smoke-in-the-eyes but still want real wood fire; anyone who wants a “forever” pit and might cook on it later

Things to know

  • It’s cleanest after it’s fully heated up; startup and low-heat dying embers can still be smoky
  • It’s heavy for its size, so it’s portable in the “two-hands move it around the yard” sense, not “toss it in the trunk” easy
  • The 19 size can feel tight if you’re trying to burn big logs or keep a huge fire going for a big group
  • Stainless will discolor/heat-tint over time, and accessories can add a lot to the total cost

Other HearthTrail favorites

If you want the same vibe but more “group fire” space, the Breeo X Series 24 is the sweet spot for a lot of people. If you want lighter and more grab-and-go, look at the Solo Stove Ranger 2.0; if you want a bigger backyard centerpiece, consider the Breeo X Series 30.
