Gathering around a fire pit is always a highlight when camping or enjoying a summer evening in the backyard. But, there’s nothing worse than dodging smoke around a fire pit all night or leaving with smoky-smelling clothes. If you love the warmth and atmosphere of a fire but hate dealing with the smoke, a smokeless fire pit is worth considering. These fire pits use smart airflow design and double-wall construction to create a hotter, more efficient burn that cuts down on smoke — so you can enjoy the fire instead of fighting with it.
When choosing a smokeless fire pit, radiant heat, smoke output and ease of cleanup are key. Some models are lightweight and portable for camping, while others are built for backyard entertaining and even cooking. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows with the family, hosting a party or setting up at a campsite, the right smokeless fire pit makes a difference.
