Whether the smoke irritates your asthma or you don’t want your clothes smelling like it all day, opting for a smokeless fire pit can totally change your outdoor living experience. They allow you to enjoy the ambiance of a backyard fire pit without the unpleasant smell and smoke production.
Take a closer look at the features and benefits of smokeless fire pits to determine if it’s time to invest in one.
Types of Smokeless Fire Pits
When searching for the right smokeless fire pit for your backyard, keep in mind that you have two different options: propane gas and wood-burning.
Both types offer optimal heat output with reduced smoke output, allowing for a more enjoyable fire pit experience. Both smokeless options also feature a more fuel-efficient burning process, as they require less fuel to produce as much or more heat. Check out the benefits of each type.
Propane Gas
- Easy to turn on and off
- Built-in fuel source
- More efficient and eco-friendly heat production
- Easier to clean since no ashes are produced
Wood-Burning
- Fuel-efficient burning process
- Continuous, self-sustaining fuel supply
- Ashes must be cleaned after each use
- Fire may take additional time to heat up enough for the secondary combustion process
How Do Smokeless Fire Pits Work?
While smokeless fire pits aren’t completely smoke-free, they’re known for producing a minimal amount of smoke during the burning process. They offer the luxury of enhanced heat production without the irritating smoke production.
With a wood-burning smokeless fire pit, the smoke produced during the initial stages of the burning process enters a secondary combustion chamber where it burns a second time. The recycled smoke serves as the fire pit’s fuel source, resulting in a more efficient burning process.
Many propane gas smokeless fire pits feature a convenient electric starter. You can also find lightweight, portable options that are perfect for grilling on the go.
Do Smokeless Fire Pits Produce a Smell?
A fire pit that produces minimal smoke also produces a minimal smoky smell. The smoke produced during the initial combustion process burns internally during a secondary combustion process rather than being emitted into the air. Now you can relax by the fire pit without dealing with the lingering smoky odor.
Are Smokeless Fire Pits Safe?
Smokeless fire pits are safer than traditional gas fire pits. The flames are more contained, less smoke is emitted, and some allow you to control flame and heat production with adjustable dials. Decreased smoke production is not only safer for the environment but also:
- Relieves allergy symptoms
- Alleviates asthma & other respiratory problems
- Improves air quality
