    Breeo X Series 24 (Corten Steel)

    Smokeless Fire Pit • 27.5"

    The Breeo X Series 24 (Corten Steel) is a serious, backyard-size smokeless fire pit that’s built to last and built to cook on. It’s a wide, low pit (27.5" outside diameter) that burns cleanest once it’s fully hot, with a strong “buy it once” feel.

    Great if…

    • You want a durable, stay-outside pit that burns clean once it’s fully hot
    • You like the rustic patina look and don’t want to baby-polish stainless
    • You want the option to cook over the fire later (this is a big Breeo advantage)
    • You’re building a small-to-medium backyard hangout spot and want something stable and substantial

    Think twice if…

    • You want something easy to move often (it’s heavy and awkward for one person)
    • You have light concrete/pavers and would be annoyed by possible early rust runoff staining as it patinas
    • You want strong, far-reaching warmth without add-ons (a heat deflector helps a lot)
    • You’re price-sensitive once you start adding the “nice to have” extras (lid, spark screen, cooking gear)

    Our take…

    This is a backyard-first smokeless pit that’s built to live outside and can turn into a serious live-fire cooking setup if you add Breeo’s accessories. The Corten version is the low-maintenance, “let it patina” choice—great for real use, not for keeping something shiny and perfect.

    Worthy Mentions

    1. Corten steel arrives looking like “raw/blue” steel and develops a rust patina over time; that patina can drip and stain light concrete/pavers if it gets rained on (a base, mat, or sacrificial pad helps).
    2. It’s noticeably low-smoke once the fire is ripping hot, but expect smoke during startup and if you use damp wood or let it smolder; it likes dry, smaller splits (typical 16–18" length).
    3. No true “dump-out” ash pan built in, so cleanup is a scoop-and-brush routine; keeping ash out of the airflow areas helps it stay in the clean-burn zone.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

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

    Why we like it

    • The X24 is the sweet-spot size: big enough for a real group fire, without feeling oversized on a normal patio
    • Corten steel is meant to weather and develop a rugged patina, so you don’t have to baby the finish
    • It’s genuinely sturdy (about 62 lb) and doesn’t feel flimsy or “tinny” like a lot of big-box pits
    • The Breeo add-on system is one of the best if you want live-fire cooking (Outpost grill, sear plate, heat deflector, etc.)

    Best for

    Backyards and medium patios; 4–6 people sitting fairly close; anyone who wants a long-term pit and might actually cook over the fire.

    Things to know

    • Smokeless is mostly mid-burn. Expect some smoke at startup and when the fire is dying down, especially with damp wood.
    • It runs best with a hot, even fire and shorter splits (Breeo recommends about 16"–18" wood for this size).
    • Corten will change color over time and the patina can bleed, so be cautious about what surface it sits on.
    • Breeo’s guidance is to place it on a level, fireproof surface (rock/stone/dirt or a proper base) and avoid heat-sensitive surfaces like wood/composite decks.

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you want a smaller seating circle and a bit easier moving, look at the Breeo X Series 19. If you want more “centerpiece” flame for bigger groups, the Breeo X Series 30 is the step up.
