    Breeo X Series 30 (Stainless Steel)

    Smokeless Fire Pit • 34.5"

    The Breeo X Series 30 (Stainless) is a big, heavy-duty “smokeless-ish” backyard fire pit that’s built to live outside and be the centerpiece of a patio. It’s 34.5" across on the outside with a wide 29.5" burn area, so it feels like a real fire, not a tabletop flame. Once it’s hot and burning clean, it knocks smoke down a lot compared to a normal wood pit.

    Great if…

    • You want a large, premium backyard pit that can anchor a patio setup
    • You regularly host groups and want a fire that feels “event sized”
    • You like the idea of adding live-fire cooking accessories over time
    • You want low-smoke performance without switching to propane

    Think twice if…

    • You want something truly portable or easy to move often
    • You don’t want to burn a lot of wood to keep a big pit running clean
    • You want the easiest ash cleanup (it’s more hands-on than ash-pan designs)
    • You’re trying to keep the total cost down once accessories get added

    Our take…

    This is a big, backyard-first smokeless pit that feels built like a tank and throws serious warmth when you’re feeding it dry wood. The trade-off is price, weight, and a “bigger fire needs more wood” reality to keep it in that clean-burning zone.

    Space Needed

    Worthy Mentions

    1. Smokeless is real once it’s fully hot, but startup (and tossing on too much wood at once) can still smoke; it likes dry hardwood and smaller splits fed steadily.
    2. Heat is strongest for the “front row” seats; if you want more warmth at 5–6 ft, most owners end up adding a heat-deflector style accessory or sitting closer than expected.
    3. It’s heavy and not something you casually move around; plan your spot, protect decking with a proper base, and keep up with ash cleanup so airflow stays strong and burns stay clean.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

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

    Why we like it

    • The low-smoke performance is legit once you get a strong, hot fire going (especially with dry wood).
    • It’s seriously overbuilt in 304 stainless, so it’s a “buy it once” kind of pit.
    • The size feels generous for groups, and it takes longer logs (up to about 24") so you’re not constantly cutting wood down.
    • It’s part of Breeo’s live-fire cooking ecosystem (Outpost grill, sear plates, kettle hook, etc.) if you want more than just a fire.

    Best for

    • Medium-to-large backyards; people who regularly host 6–8 around the fire; anyone who wants a long-term pit that can also become a live-fire cooking setup

    Things to know

    • It’s heavy (about 94 lb), so this is not a “grab it and move it” pit.
    • “Smokeless” isn’t instant: startup smoke is normal, and wet wood or overloading the pit can make it smoky.
    • If you want maximum warmth at sitting level, the heat deflector helps, but the X30 version needs two Outpost rods (extra cost and more parts).
    • It’s still an open wood fire (sparks can happen), so plan for a safe surface and consider a spark screen if you’re in a windy area or have kids/pets around.

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you want a similar experience with less bulk (and usually less wood use), look at the Breeo X Series 24. If you already have a stone/block surround and want a cleaner retrofit, Breeo’s Zentro 30 insert is the “drop-in smokeless upgrade” path.
