BioLite FirePit: See Fire, Not Smoke
A smokeless wood-burning FirePit that can cook your meals and give you a front-row seat to everything going on inside your fire.
Fire is one of our oldest tools. The glow, the warmth, the smell, it hits on something inside all of us. We love to be around it, yet it always seems to come with this annoying sidekick – smoke.
At BioLite, we’ve been cleaning up wood fires all over the world for over five years. This time around, we’ve got our sights set on the fire in your backyard with the BioLite FirePit, a smokeless wood-burning device that cooks your meals and gives you a front-row seat to everything going on inside your fire.
#1: Get an efficient burn with way less smoke than a conventional fire pit
#2: Enjoy the feeling of a 360-degree floating fire with the FirePit's X-Ray Mesh
#3: Burn charcoal or wood embers for a hibachi-style grilling experience
Bonus: Our Kickstarter backers receive a free Solar Carry Cover ($60 value). Carry to your favorite outdoor spot and seamlessly charge when not in use.
When you see smoke coming off of a typical campfire or firepit, that’s unburnt fuel; particulate matter that could have been combusted inside of the fire, but instead it’s getting on your clothes, in your hair, and more importantly, in your lungs (that’s why so many of us get a headache about an hour or two after sitting around a campfire). Think about it this way: if you saw a car driving down the street with a bunch of smoke coming out of its tailpipe you’d think that’s a badly tuned car. Well guess what, smoky fires are badly tuned fires.
Across the body of the FirePit we’ve got 51 airjets that inject the fire with oxygen along key locations thanks to the fan located inside the USB-rechargeable orange power pack. This creates a more uniform temperature and mixing of gases inside the fire which dramatically improves combustion.
This means two important things: 1) You get the crackling, the smell, and the feel of a robust wood fire but WITHOUT the smoke and 2) You can actually achieve a warm, roaring fire with LESS wood because you’re burning your original fuel more efficiently.
The airflow system has 4 fan speeds to control the intensity of your flames. If you want a mellow campfire feel, you tune it to LOW. If you want a powerful fire that radiates a lot of heat outward, crank it up to HIGH.
You can control that fan intensity right from the FirePit's powerpack or from the palm of your hand with the free BioLite Energy App for Android and iOS.
One of the best things about an outdoor fire is watching the hypnotic, relaxing flames.
With BioLite’s X-Ray Mesh Body you see it all: glowing embers at the bottom, the gasifying wood in the middle, and the vortex of flames coming out at the top. Rather than staring at a metal can or a cylinder of bricks, you get a full fire that shows you every step of the combustion process.
Cooking and campfires both require thermal energy so we combined them into a single device with the FirePit: the inner fuel rack can accommodate both charcoal and wood so you can start your day on a hibachi-style grill and end it with the perfect bonfire.
Hot Tip: when you start with charcoal, the leftover embers double as the perfect Firestarter for your campfire – just toss in a piece of firewood when you’re done cooking and watch it catch, no additional firestarting needed.
