Enjoy the video. Built by own in NH and because we are "live free or die" state, I was able to create mine with a galvanized tub and the made the holes with my .22 cal. Works great!!
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.
Brian, your videos are the most thorough out of any I've seen. Nice job on these! I can't even have a wood fire pit where I live in the city of Chicago (condo rules), but I've been enjoying watching these and dreaming. Hahaha. Looking forward to more.
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!
@Yardiac How many logs do you go through per hour on the x30 vs your old 24"? Also how does radiant heat compare? If I go with a 24" instead, will I be disappointed with the warmth?
Great video - thank you. Dumb question- how long would you say the first load of wood fire last? I’m trying to determine how much wood should I consider per use (2-3hrs) … going bigger (my preference), should consume the wood faster.
I chose the 24 over the 30 and I’m very happy. The main reason was that the forum stated that you needed tons of wood to get the 30 hot enough for it to actually go smokeless. Is that right?
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 😬🙊
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!
I just bought the Titan Dual Flame 24", that thing is a beast coming in at 112 lbs. I know a girl that burned the heck out of her leg on one of these, half her leg is all scars, it was a drunken party. For mine I bought a decorative fire ring to go around it so no one gets burned, keeps kids at a distance too.
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!
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.
Brian, I am late to your party. I am investigating smokeless fire pits with an eye on Breeo's Y series. Your video contains a wealth of information. I like your style and have subscribed to your channel. Ya know, dogs are a reflection of their pack masters. I can tell by the behavior of your pupper that you are first rate. I look forward to more videos.
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 ru-vid.com As you mention in your note, he is first rate for sure. Hope you are having a great week!!
Great video. Can you tell me if it gives decent heat output if you are sitting around it? Looking for if it would work in a 40 degree evening to keep me warm. Thanks!
@@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
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.
Thanks for the great review. One thing I wish you spoke about was cleaning the Breeo ashes and coals after the fire has finished. I pit style is obviously easily shoveled out. Just wondering if that "X" style air flow system is a pain to move around with brushes and shovels, or if it would be better to use a shop/ash vac. As I said, great review otherwise, I'll just need to decide which size is best for me. Thanks again.
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
Is this a fire pit you would recommend to build into a patio? As in build for example a stone outer and place the fire pit inside? Or is there on you would recommend doing this with?
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.
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.
Hello! I have few questions how many steaks can you put on Breeo 19 outpost? how many steaks can you put on Breeo 19 searplate? 19 vs 24 for family of 3 + occasional family or friends of 2 or 3
@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 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 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.
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 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!!
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
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 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!
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.
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.

Hi Log Press Panda, You are wanting the other video and we are wanting to hear the story behind your RU-vid 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 !
@@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.
Had bought a “smokeless fire pit” from Sam’s that piece of cheap quality steel didn’t last me 3 months, so to anyone just wanting to burn some firewood in your back yard just recycle your old washing machine cylinder trust me you won’t regret spending 300$ on a piece of junk from China.
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!
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!
