First developed by Breeo back in 2011-and then popularized by Solo Stove-smokeless fire pits peaked in 2020, when Solo Stove reportedly cornered 75% of the wood-burning fire pit market. Smokeless varieties gained a lot of traction over the pandemic in particular as people migrated outside for friendly gatherings. But the best smokeless fire pits take what traditional versions offer-an eye-watering experience that leaves your clothes reeking of charred wood-and eliminate all that excess smokiness for a less noxious outdoor hang and considerably fewer complaints from neighbors. All in all, the Tiki Brand Fire Pit gets a very positive reception.The idea of innovating fire feels like the beginning of a bad Shark Tank pitch. People love the ease of cleaning, which is just a case of pulling out the ash pan when you're done, and a number of reviewers say it survived the rain when left uncovered. In many of its Amazon reviews, which average out at 4.8 out of 5 stars, there's a common thread of people mentioning that it is smaller than they were expecting, then immediately recanting when they realize just how warm it gets. It'll certainly produce less smoke than the Bali Outdoors Wood Burning Fire Pit, though Tiki Brand's offering is a lot more expensive. We suspect certain reviewers didn't use enough wood, which will stop the secondary heating through its top vents from working, as this is an uncommon user complaint. In general, purchasers are very happy with the Tiki Brand Fire Pit, praising its depth, the amount of heat it radiates, and (mostly) speaking highly of its low-smoke nature. This isn't a system that needs to be built on to get the best out of it it's all here, and basically ready to go out of the box.You can build your own fire if you can't do without poking at logs, and keep it going for a long time.Tiki Brand's wood packs make for a quick and easy fire within 30 minutes - without needing to tend to it while it gets burning.It has the looks and the clean burn to give your guests evening warmth without the face full of smoke - and there are plenty of other reasons it might fit right in: If you're looking for a fire pit to set the tone of your evening, you could certainly do a lot worse than the Tiki Brand Fire Pit. (Image credit: Tiki Brand) Tiki Brand Fire Pit review: How could it benefit you? It is not, though, made for cooking and not built for safety either - the outside gets very hot, which is entirely the point, but there's also no spark/ember screen available as we write. Indeed this is built for radiant heat, meaning you can feel the warmth from a few feet away without necessarily needing to hover above it. The Tiki Brand Fire Pit's air flow is designed to produce as smokeless and large a fire as possible both by pulling warm, oxygenated air in through holes around the rim to reignite smoke, and dragging pair up through the perforations on its burn deck to give your wood plenty of fuel for a strong burn.Īgain we need to draw comparisons to the Solo Stove Yukon, which doubles down on this air-pulling technique the Yukon perhaps gets stronger results, but it's also a whole lot more expensive than this, with a closed-off design that may not radiate quite as much heat as this ventilated one. The fully double-layered design of the Solo Stove Yukon may be more awkward to clean than this, but it's much more versatile in terms of where you can place it. The fire pit itself sits on the included stand, which attaches with three screws while it's technically portable, at 45lbs it's far from the lightest pit we've seen, and even with the stand, Tiki Brand doesn't recommend you use it anywhere other than a heat-resistant surface. It'll also work with pellet stove pellets. If you want to fire up some larger logs, you can open up the burn plate and (as long as they're within the 16-inch diameter and kept within the 16-inch depth) use whatever you like. Wood sits on a well-perforated burn plate with a slide-out ash catcher underneath when you're burning Tiki Brand's wood packs you place a large dome in its center, which helps to distribute the heat outward and feed it with fresh oxygen, though this is optional. This will fit a modern patio or a more rustic one just as well, with its black powder-coated outer interspersed with large vent lines which reveal the stainless inner underneath, and plenty of flames allowed to lick above the burn chamber for an impressive blaze. Tiki Brand seems to have struck a great balance with the design of its Fire Pit.
