- How does a smokeless fire pit work?
- It pulls air through holes near the base and feeds it back into the flames, burning off smoke particles before they escape. It works best with dry, seasoned wood and a hot, established fire.
- Is 16 inches big enough for a real fire?
- It holds a small fire suited to two or four people. Expect short logs and more frequent refueling than a full-size pit.
- Can I use it on a wooden deck?
- Only with a heat shield or non-combustible pad underneath, and check local rules. The base gets hot and embers can escape.
- Is it easy to move and store?
- Yes. The 16-inch size is light enough for one person to carry, and it fits in a trunk or shed between uses.
- What should I burn in it?
- Dry, seasoned firewood split small. Avoid resinous softwoods, pellets and trash, which add smoke and creosote.
