Breeo X Series 24 (Stainless Steel)
Smokeless Fire Pit • 27.5"
The Breeo X Series 24 (Stainless Steel) is a backyard-size smokeless wood fire pit that feels sturdy, premium, and made to live outside. It’s big enough for a real “hangout fire” without being a giant permanent fixture, and it burns cleanest once it’s fully hot.

HearthTrail Fit™ is our shorthand for how easy this is to live with in real backyards – balancing performance, ease of use, and value.
Great if…
- You want a premium backyard pit that can live outside year-round and take abuse
- You like the idea of cooking over the fire later (Breeo’s accessory ecosystem is the point)
- You’re hosting a small-to-medium circle and want a stable, substantial pit that won’t feel flimsy
- You care more about long-term build quality than shaving weight
Think twice if…
- You want something easy to move or travel with (62 lbs is a two-person lift for most people)
- You want strong “sit-back-and-feel-it” warmth without add-ons (heat can go upward without a deflector)
- You’re price-sensitive once you add the usual extras (lid, spark screen, base/deflector, cooking gear)
- You want a truly deck-friendly setup without investing in proper surface protection
Our take…
This is a heavy-duty, stay-outside smokeless pit that’s really about durability and live-fire cooking potential, not being light or cheap. It burns cleaner once it’s ripping, but to feel warmer around the circle you’ll often want the heat deflector.

Worthy Mentions
- It is built like a tank at about 62 lb, so it is a place it and leave it backyard pit, not a carry to the campsite pit.
- Smokeless performance is best once the fire is ripping hot and spread toward the outer wall; expect some smoke at startup, in wind, or if airflow gets choked by too much ash.
- Wood fit matters: it likes roughly 16 to 18 inch dry splits. There is no built in ash pan, so cleanup is scoop or shop vac after it is cold, and deck use usually needs a proper heat barrier or base.

In Plain English
The real-world take
Short, practical notes—what matters, what doesn’t, and what to expect.
Why we like it
- This is the sweet-spot size in the Breeo lineup for most backyards: roomy flame, still manageable footprint
- Heavy-gauge 304 stainless has a clean look and holds up well outdoors (no rust-patina drama)
- It throws serious heat, and the smokeless effect is legit once the secondary burn is rolling
- The accessory ecosystem is a huge plus if you want to cook over live fire later
Best for
- Average patios and backyards; families or small groups who want a hotter, cleaner wood fire; anyone who wants a “keep it for years” pit with optional cooking upgrades
Things to know
- It’s not smokeless right away; expect some smoke during startup and when the fire is fading
- It’s heavy (around 62 lb), so it’s “move it around the patio” portable, not “take it camping” portable
- It burns hot enough that deck safety matters; be careful on composite/wood surfaces and use a proper heat barrier
- Accessories (lid, base, outpost grill, sear plate, etc.) can add up fast, but that’s also what makes it so versatile
Other HearthTrail favorites
If you want a smaller seating circle and easier carrying, look at the Breeo X Series 19. If you want more “centerpiece” size for bigger groups, the Breeo X Series 30 is the move. If you want a lighter, simpler smokeless pit with fewer add-ons, Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is a common cross-shop.
