As of January 2023, Burly no longer makes the Scout in the stainless-steel finish we originally tested now it comes only in carbon steel with a matte-black finish. But if you want to know you’re buying the absolute best construction with a handsome look that none of the other pits we tested can mimic, this fire pit is your only choice. Are you potentially overpaying for a “ Made in the USA” stamp, sturdy wooden handles, high-quality steel, and hand welding? Probably. Of all the pits we tested, it’s the most obviously well built, and it’s equally over-engineered. Why it’s great: The Burly Scout Fire Pit is the only pit we tested that comes in two pieces-an outer cylinder and an insert that nests inside-which removes two of the hassles that you might expect with smokeless fire pits: cleaning and moving. We have picks that are lightweight and easy to move around, aesthetically unobtrusive for a patio, great for cooking over, and the type you might expect to own for a lifetime. What distinguishes fire pits from one another is largely their looks, how easy they are to clean, and, to some extent, the available accessories.Īs a result, finding the right fire pit for you is a matter of personal choice, depending on your needs. That extra oxygen creates a secondary combustion of the fire’s off gassing, molecules which usually create smoke if they aren’t burned. In the end we chose two as our top picks: the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 for most people and small backyards, and the Tiki Fire Pit for people with larger yards or those who enjoy the more patio-inspired looks of the Tiki model.Īlthough we did choose two favorites, note that in our testing nearly all the smokeless-pit designs worked more or less the same: They each have two walls (kind of like an insulated thermos bottle), and they leverage the difference in air temperature between those walls to create extra airflow through holes in the walls of the firepit. We spent four months testing nine fire pits in Hawaii and California. Few things are as pleasurable as a toasty fire in the backyard on a chilly evening.īut if you find that the accompanying smoke dampens the pleasure, or if your neighbors live close by and prefer to keep their bedroom windows open to catch the cool air, you might consider using a so-called smokeless fire pit, which eliminates some (but not all) of your fire’s smoke and most of the ash.
