Howl R1 Propane Fire Pit vs Breeo X Series 24

Buy the Howl R1 if you want flames on demand, a fire you can carry in one hand, and a unit that works during burn bans. Buy the Breeo X Series 24 if you want a permanent backyard centerpiece for real wood fires and cooking. The Howl is a 10 lb propane unit with 32-inch flames and 54,000 BTUs; the Breeo is a 62 lb Corten steel pit that burns 16-18 inch logs and is smokeless by design. Owners of the Howl praise its flame height, wind resistance and long burn time; Breeo owners value the heavy steel build and secondary burn. They are not substitutes: one is portable ambiance, the other is a fixed wood-burning pit.

• Choose the Howl R1 if you camp, travel, face fire restrictions, or want instant flames without hauling wood and cleaning ash.
• Choose the Breeo X Series 24 if you have a fixed patio spot, want a real wood fire, and plan to cook over it for years.
