What is a Smoke-Less Fire Pit?

Do you love the idea of a cozy fire in your backyard but not dealing with the smoke and soot? Traditional fire pits can be a lot of fun, but they also produce a lot of smoke and soot. It can be challenging to enjoy a fire without making your home dirty, smoky, or smelly.

A smoke-less fire pit is a perfect solution! These pits produce no smoke or soot, which means you can enjoy a cozy fire without having to worry about making your home dirty. Let's take a look at what separates these smoke-less firepits from traditional versions.

How Can a Wood-Burning Fire Pit Be Smoke-Less?

The smoke-less designation for a fire pit is not just marketing hype. A smoke-less fire pit is designed to prevent most of the smoke from escaping.

Smokeless fire pits generate heat and flickering light of a backyard fire without producing smoke, ash, or embers that are unpleasant for persons sitting around. These fire pits burn gas, wood pellets, and even biomass. They range in size from tiny portable models weighing less than 20 pounds to large full-size fire pits with a diameter of up to 30 inches.

The basic idea is each smoke-less fire pit has two walls, similar to an insulated thermos bottle. The disparity in air temperature between them is used to create additional airflow through holes in the structures of the firepit. This extra oxygen produces secondary combustion of the off-gassing molecules, which would otherwise generate smoke if not burned.

In more detail, these firepits work by heating the air between the inner and outer walls. As the air heats up, it rises to the top and is forced out of the upper holes. The air forced out of these holes will push the smoke (unburned fuel) back into the active flames and cause them to be re-burned. Since most of the smoke molecules are burned in the secondary combustion phase, the result is significantly less smoke and soot to get in your eyes, clothes, and around your property.
