    TIKI Reunion

    Smokeless Fire Pit • 27.5"

    The TIKI Reunion 27.5" is TIKI’s largest smokeless wood fire pit, sized for a real backyard hang with a bigger flame and more log room than their smaller models. Once it heats up, the airflow design cuts down smoke a lot compared to a basic open fire bowl.

    Great if…

    • You want a low-smoke backyard fire pit sized for a real 6–8 person hangout
    • You like getting key basics included (stand, cover, starter wood pack) instead of accessory-shopping immediately 
    • You want easier cleanup than most big smokeless pits (removable ash pan)
    • You want something more “stationary patio centerpiece” than “camping/travel pit”

    Think twice if…

    • You want something easy to move around (it’s bulky and about 60.7 lbs) 
    • You’re expecting strong, leg-level warmth without add-ons (a deflector helps a lot)
    • You want premium-long warranty coverage (this is a 2-year warranty
    • You regularly burn damp wood and want it to still feel “smokeless” (it won’t)

    Our take…

    This is TIKI’s biggest smokeless pit, built for larger patio/backyard gatherings with an easy-clean ash pan and a simple “set it up and leave it” vibe. It’s a strong value for the size, but it’s still a 60+ lb, heat-goes-upward style pit unless you add the heat deflector.

    Basics

    Backyard Basics

    The quick, real-world stuff: cooking, warmth, space, and what it’s like to live with.

    Cooking Ready?

    Snack-only (s’mores, hot dogs)

    Ideal Group Size

    6–8 people (small party)

    Heat Radius

    Comfortable within ~4 ft

    Space Needed

    Needs full seating circle (8–10 ft diameter)Best for dedicated fire pit areaNot for small balconies or tight decks

    Worthy Mentions

    1. It’s low-smoke once it’s fully up to temp, but you can still get smoke during startup and if you burn damp wood or smolder it down too low.
    2. The removable ash pan makes cleanup easier than most big pits, but you’ll still want to dump ash regularly so airflow stays strong.
    3. Heat tends to rise more than it “blasts” outward; a heat deflector accessory is a common add-on if you’re trying to feel more warmth at the seats.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

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

    Why we like it

    • Built for groups: TIKI positions it for about 6–8 people, and it feels like a true “centerpiece” pit. 
    • Cleanup is easy thanks to the removable ash pan (no digging ash out of the bottom). 
    • It comes as a complete kit (stand + weather-resistant cover + starter wood pack), so you’re not immediately shopping for basics. 
    • The design looks more like patio furniture than a plain stainless drum, which a lot of people prefer.

    Best for

    Backyards and larger patios; families and small groups who want a big, cleaner-burning wood fire; anyone who wants easy cleanup and a more “finished” look.

    Things to know

    • It’s cleanest mid-burn. Startup and the last low-ember phase can still smoke, especially with damp wood.
    • It’s not a light pit (about 60.7 lb), so it’s “move it around the patio” portable, not “toss it in the trunk” portable.
    • TIKI’s safety guidance calls for plenty of clearance (including not using it under overhangs) and placing it well away from structures/combustibles.

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you like the TIKI style but want a smaller footprint, look at the TIKI Patio 25". If you want something more travel-friendly, the TIKI Portable (often called the Retreat) makes more sense for camping or tailgates.
