    Smokeless Fire Pit • 7.5"

    The Cuisinart Cleanburn 7.5" is a tiny tabletop smokeless-style fire pit made for ambiance, quick s’mores, and a real flame on a patio table. It runs on wood pellets or mini wood pieces, and it burns cleanest after it’s fully lit and hot.

    Great if…

    • You want a compact tabletop fire for patios, balconies, or camping tables
    • You like using pellets for a tidy, controlled burn and easy cleanup
    • You want something truly grab-and-go (super light, includes a carry bag)
    • You mostly want vibe + roasting for 1–3 people close by

    Think twice if…

    • You expect it to meaningfully heat a group (it’s mostly hands/face warmth up close)
    • You don’t want to babysit fuel (pellets can smolder if airflow gets choked)
    • You plan to use it on a nice table without a proper heat-safe surface setup

    Our take…

    This is a tiny tabletop smokeless pit that’s mainly for ambiance and quick s’mores, not real “warm the circle” heat. It runs cleanest on pellets or dry mini-logs once it’s hot, but you’ll still get some smoke if you under-fuel/over-fuel it or let it smolder out.

    Space Needed

    Worthy Mentions

    1. This is a tabletop vibe pit, not a yard heater: you feel warmth close in, but it’s mainly ambiance for a small table setup.
    2. Fuel and airflow matter: it runs on wood pellets or mini logs about 6 inches or less, and it smokes more if you load fuel above the inner vent holes or dump pellets in too fast.
    3. Safety and surfaces are the gotchas: use on a stable, heat safe surface, keep the area around it clear (the base and airflow underneath get hot), and avoid windy conditions. Cleanup is easy, but only after it is fully cooled, brush ash down through the bottom holes into the base and dump.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

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

    Why we like it

    • True tabletop size with a real flame, not a candle vibe
    • Dual-fuel is convenient: pellets for an easy, steady burn; mini wood for a more classic feel
    • Super portable (around 2 lb) and usually comes with a carry bag, so it’s easy to store or bring along
    • Removable ash base makes cleanup quick for such a small wood-burning pit

    Best for

    • Balcony and patio-table hangouts; s’mores nights; renters who want the fire vibe without a full-size pit

    Things to know

    • This is not a “warm the whole seating circle” pit—heat is close-range and mostly for vibe
    • Expect some smoke at startup and when the flame is dying down; it’s cleanest mid-burn
    • Fuel size matters: it’s designed for pellets or very short mini logs (around 5.5" max)
    • Use it on a heat-safe surface with the stand, keep it away from overhangs, and don’t use it in enclosed spaces

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you want the same idea but more flame and noticeably more warmth, the Solo Stove Mesa XL is the more satisfying tabletop pick. If you want a real “sit around it” fire, jump up to something like the Cuisinart Cleanburn 19.5" or 24".
