Hey Dom, You are too kind! Sorry to hear you won't be able to enjoy one of these in your Chicago condo. Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a great day!

Hi Marc, thanks for taking the time to watch and glad the review could be helpful. The Breeo fire pits are quite nice. We have a couple other videos looking at Breeo and SOLO also. Hope you're having a great week.

Thanks 👍

Hi Charles, thanks so much for your kind words and for taking the time to watch. If you now have a SOLO stove, hope you can enjoy a nice fire this week. Have a great day!

Hey Jim. Thanks for taking the time to share your story here. and for enjoying the video. Love hearing the creative ways people are making their own smokeless fire pits. You are definitely coming out near the top with a galvanized tub and custom .22 cal air holes. When you can build something useful and get some sharpshooting practice in at the same time I'd call that a "win-win". Enjoy New Hampshire. Hope the Fall colors are better than ever this year.

Hey Indiana DIY, you would be set to cook for the family reunion! Thanks for watching and commenting

Thank you Adam. Glad the video was helpful. Smaller is usually big enough. the 24" is sort of the "goldilocks" size.

Hey David. You are too kind! Thanks for the encouragement.

@@maxwellxbanks Thanks 007. I appreciate it and will look up that video.

Hey Baddd Doggg, You are definitely a Gooddd Doggg when it comes to how you are protecting folks from your fire pit with that decorative ring. Smart call. And I'm sure it actually makes the whole fire pit look even better. Wow, yes, that Titan at 112 lbs is a true beast. You must be able to really geta beast of a fire brewing in that one. Hope you have a great week and get to enjoy a fire!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi Michael. Thanks for taking the time to watch our video and glad it was helpful. We just recently released a Breeo Y Series video. Brian has stepped away from producing more videos for us on Yardiac but he is continuing on his personal channel at kzfaq.info As you mention in your note, he is first rate for sure. Hope you are having a great week!!

You are too kind!! Thanks for your generous comments. So glad the video was helpful. Have a great day!

Stainless!

Check out my article on my site -- yardiac.com/best-smokeless-fire-pit/ -- the second fire pit down is a Breeo insert made to slide down into a stone or concrete built pit.

I've watched countless videos about these stoves and none of them address this.

@@flowstate6769 My brother ended up getting the biggest breeo and he said it was very warm even in very cold conditions. I would say it's a safe buy for heat output

@@taylorvice1610 thank you!

They do have decent heat output when sitting around. For the best output to those nearby you will probably want a heat deflector to help send the heat horizontally instead of so much of it going vertical. But these pits get exceptionally hot when they are burning correctly. We have melted aluminum in them.

Hey Elbow Grease, Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the kind words. Cleanup is decent. BarKeeper's friend or Bon Ami are good options along with a scrubbing pad. To some degree you are going to get buildup on the sear plate that will, at a minimum, leave some staining.

Hi Old Farts Adventure, Yes, turn over and shake is the primary method. The Breeo fire pits use a much higher gauge of steel so they are significantly heavier. So, wrestling these is a greater challenge than SOLO stoves. You certainly can use a wet vac but some folks won't use common sense and will vacuum out hot coals. I'm not saying you would, lol, just that there are folks out there. Hope your week is getting off to a great start!

Hey Lowraks. Thanks for your encouragement. Maybe a mass fire pit comparison video needs to get done. I'll give it some thought.

Hi Jeff, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Breeo just addressed this with the Breeo Y series. You can check out our new video for that one. Though not significantly smaller, it has a carrying handle and adjustable legs which make it usable in more situations. Hope you have a great day

I just received my 30 a few days ago and already cooked on it. You can definitely get a lot of wood in there but I nowhere near filled it and to me it stayed pretty smokeless. I got my fire started with some kindling and about 4 logs, after it burned down to a nice hot ash I only feed my fire 1-2 logs at a time to keep a consistent temp/fire going and the only time it smoked was when I accidentally used a wet cherry log 😬🙊

You are mostly right. 24 inch is a good choice.

Thanks for your kind words. At this point I am not planning to produce it.

Hi Spring Branch, thanks for your comments and for watching. Breeo makes a fantastic fire pit and a good looking one, at that! But it is a bit of an investment.

Hey Eric, thanks for your question. In our experience, the SOLO Stove puts off a better flame and maybe burns slightly better. But this doesn't necessarily translate into recognizably greater heat output. A heat deflector that sits over the top will probably be your best option to help radiate the heat outward toward those seated nearby. A deflector like this amzn.to/3ttDoMM at Amazon could be a possible solution

Hey Matthew, this is a good question. From what I read and hear about, it will most likely depend on the quality and structure of the concrete below and how hot the fire gets, etc. Across the board this is not happening, at least as far as I know. There are some heat deflectors that can be purchased like this one at Amazon amzn.to/3xlxles to provide a little peace of mind. Or purchase some stone pavers at a local hardware store to "prop" up the fire pit.

Hey T. Great to hear you are building these like a boss. Might become a nice side gig and grow into something bigger. Keep up the good work. Have a great week!

@@Yardiac1 Hay, thanks @yardiac keep doing the lords work yourself and may we all be marry 🙌🤘

Generally speaking smaller is usually big enough. Unless you have a forest you need to burn through. 24" is a nice size for most occasions

Hey Untrained & Unrestrained, Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We haven't personally tested one with a stone surround. The critical element if you go that route is to build the stone surround with enough air venting at the bottom to allow the fire pit to breathe sufficiently and thus create that double/secondary burn

I'm stuck between the 2 sized also.

Same here

Me 3 😁

You can get two 24s for the price of a 30

@@springbranch6866 exactly, why I ordered the 24

@Redridge07 Thanks for reaching out with a question. You can burn a rather broad range of items. for sure charcoal and use it as a grill. It will burn through wood pallets with ease once you cut it down to size. Hope you have a great week!!

Hey MD A, Thanks for watching and appreciate the shout out for the pup. Just keepin' it real in these videos. Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Rohan. I wish I could help with that question but I have no idea.

Hi Bill, Thanks for taking the time to enjoy the video and to comment/ask a question. This is one of the most common questions about these. They are neither easy nor difficult to clean. With some relatively simple effort you can turn the fire pit over and dump a majority of the ash into a collection bin. If you want it ultra clean you would probably need a shop-vac or a brush to break any stuck portions of ash and then dump a second time. On the difficult side of the equation, these Breeo fire pits are made with high quality steel and they are heavy--getting up into the 30-40+ lb range. So, this might become a 2-person job for some folks. Even with the new SOLO stove 2.0 that has a removable ash pan it still may need to be flipped over from time to time to remove everything. Though the SOLO stoves are significantly lighter being made of much thinner gauge steel. I hope this helps.

Hey Quicktrades. Thanks for taking the time to share some thoughts with us. TikTok does seem to be the latest and greatest for content creators. We'll see how far down that rabbit trail we decide to go. Hope you have a great week!!

Hi skorpyo33. Thanks for taking the time to watch and to comment as well. Hope the video was even a bit helpful. As for the links in the description, most people don't even know they are there. We try to be pretty clear that we make a small commission off of affiliate links and we are grateful when people use them to make a purchase. It does not cost the consumer any more to buy it and helps us earn a little income from our efforts to produce these videos and write content for our site.

Hi Log Press Panda, You are wanting the other video and we are wanting to hear the story behind your KZfaq handle. That's a great one. Which videos actually get created and published is an ever changing process. We are currently in the midst of preparation for all of the content for not only this channel but our website as well. Thanks for taking the time to watch and for sharing a comment. Have a great week!

@Yardiac The handle comes from being Buddhist, half Asian, being pale, preferring to wear all black, having the Asian cultured soul, and getting into strength sports... after years of hard training, it lead me to the Strongman Competitions. I love log pressing for whatever reason and I've been the weight of an adult panda with some similar features structurally 😅 thank you for asking. Thank you for the content you produce!

A very thoughtful handle. It is always good to hear different people's stories. Congrats on the Strongman Competitions! That is good, hard stuff. Keep pressing on !

Shoot I did. Thanks for pointing that out.

@@Yardiac1 what size do you like the most? Debating on ordering the 24 and 30. I am a family of 4, but we do host a lot. I'm wondering if I'd need to use a lot more wood on the 30 to keep it smokeless compared to the 24.

@@Yardiac1 I ended up with the 24 without sear plate and loving it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi @yengvang1368 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. No doubt these are expensive fire pits. It is expensive to source high quality materials and to then manufacture them here in the US. They are not for everyone but for most who buy them they appreciate the quality and exceptional functionality. Hope you have a great week!

The Made in America part is great!

It is a high price but American made and hi-quality raw materials.

So what it’s American made? It’s not made out of $2500 raw materials and labor. This is absolutely nuts! You can get Solo or another competitor for 5 times cheaper!

Hi cac90277, These are significantly more efficient in burning wood. Because of that you will actually burn through the wood more quickly. The massive benefit of this is that the burning is much more clean and, thus, how they can claim to be "smokeless." The Breeo's and the SOLO stoves are really quite nice to use in comparison to a traditional fire pit. Have a great week.

Hey TDZ, Thanks for watching. We are all about teleporting dogs at Yardiac!! lol
