    Great if…

    • You want a large smokeless pit that can comfortably anchor a bigger 6–10-ish person hangout
    • You want to burn longer wood (up to 24") and build bigger, longer fires without constant micro-feeding 
    • You like the “let it patina” Corten look and don’t want to baby a shiny finish
    • You’re interested in cooking over fire later (Breeo’s accessory ecosystem is a big part of the value)

    Think twice if…

    • You want something easy to move or store (this is a 94 lb, mostly-stationary pit)
    • You’re price-sensitive once you add the usual extras (lid, spark screen, cooking gear, heat management add-ons)
    • You want strong leg-level warmth without add-ons (a lot of heat naturally drafts upward on smokeless pits) 
    • You have light concrete/pavers and would hate rust runoff or patina staining during the early weathering phase

    Our take…

    This is a big, backyard-anchored smokeless pit built to live outside and throw a serious “roaring fire” for larger gatherings, with the bonus that it can become a legit live-fire cooking setup. The trade-off is it’s heavy, premium-priced, and (like most smokeless designs) feels best once it’s fully hot and fed with dry wood.

    Worthy Mentions

    1. This is a heavy, “leave it there” pit (about 94 lb) and it can rust-stain light concrete/pavers when the corten patina gets wet, so a base/mat or sacrificial pad is smart.
    2. It burns best with bigger, dry wood (up to about 24" pieces) and you’ll use more fuel than smaller pits to keep it in the clean, low-smoke burn zone.
    3. No quick-dump ash pan: cleanup is a scoop-and-brush routine, and keeping ash from clogging airflow helps it stay low-smoke.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

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

    Why we like it

    • Sweet spot for “big group fire” without going fully massive: Breeo rates the X30 for about 8+ chairs. 
    • Heavy-duty and stable (about 94 lb), so it feels planted and premium. 
    • Designed for low-smoke burning with Breeo’s X Airflow system and double-wall secondary burn.
    • Corten steel is meant to weather into a rugged patina, so it looks better with age instead of “kept perfect.”

    Best for

    Larger patios and backyards; 6–10 people who want a bold flame; shoppers who want a “buy it for life” pit and may add live-fire cooking accessories later.

    Things to know

    • It’s cleanest mid-burn. To get a 30" pit truly smokeless, you need a strong coal bed and plenty of dry wood—smaller weak fires will smoke more. 
    • It’s a wood-hungry size if you keep it roaring hot (big, clean burns take steady fuel). 
    • It’s heavy and wide (34.5" outside diameter), so plan where it’ll live and don’t expect “move it around” convenience. 
    • Breeo recommends wood up to 24" for the X30, but accessories like a sear plate can change how you load and tend the fire.

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you want less fuel use and a smaller seating circle, the Breeo X Series 24 is the easier everyday pick. If you want even more “wow” and have the space (and wood budget), the Breeo X Series 42 is the step up.
