HOW SMOKELESS TECHNOLOGY WORKS

These are wood-burning fire sculptures — no gas, no ignition system, no installation required. Tap each topic to learn more.

Why so little smoke? Secondary combustion

Smokeless fire pits use a secondary combustion design — small vents near the top of the bowl preheat air and inject it above the primary flame. This reignites unburned smoke particles before they escape, producing a cleaner, more complete burn with dramatically less visible smoke.

Result: A brighter, hotter flame with minimal smoke output compared to a standard open fire pit.

What fuel do they use? Wood only

These fire pits burn dry hardwood only — kiln-dried firewood works best. Avoid treated, painted, or green wood as these produce excess smoke and harmful emissions that defeat the smokeless design.

Best wood: Oak, hickory, ash, or any dry hardwood split into pieces that fit inside the bowl. Softwoods like pine burn faster and produce more resin.

How do I start the fire? No ignition system

No ignition system is built in — you light the fire manually using a fire starter, newspaper, or kindling placed at the base of the wood stack. The smokeless effect kicks in once the fire reaches a high enough temperature, typically within 10–15 minutes of lighting.

Tip: Start with smaller pieces of kindling to build temperature quickly before adding larger logs.

Corten Steel vs Stainless Steel Material guide

Corten Steel develops a natural rust-orange patina over time through exposure to weather. This patina is a protective layer — it stabilises and does not continue to corrode through. The aged look deepens with time and is considered part of the aesthetic. No painting or sealing required.

Stainless Steel maintains its silver metallic appearance and does not develop a patina. It is more resistant to staining and easier to clean. Better suited for coastal environments or buyers who prefer a consistently modern appearance.

Does it need any installation? No installation

No installation required. These are freestanding sculptures — place on a stable, non-combustible surface outdoors and they are ready to use. No gas lines, no electrical connections, no contractor needed.

Note: Ensure the surface is level and stable. Do not place on decking, grass, or any surface that could be damaged by heat from the base.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOUR SPACE?

Four things to confirm before you order. Tap each to expand.

What fuel does it use? Wood only

These are wood-burning fire sculptures — no gas, no propane, no gas line required. They burn dry hardwood only.

Best fuel: Kiln-dried hardwood such as oak, hickory, or ash split into pieces that fit inside the bowl. Avoid treated, painted, or green wood as these produce excess smoke and harmful emissions.

Not compatible with: gas, propane, charcoal, or wood pellets.

Installation Requirements No installation needed

No installation required whatsoever. These are fully freestanding sculptures — no gas lines, no electrical connections, no contractor or permit needed.

Place on a stable, non-combustible surface outdoors and the piece is ready to use immediately upon delivery. The only requirement is a safe outdoor location with adequate clearance from combustible materials.

Clearance & Placement Outdoor use only

Designed for outdoor use only. Never use in a garage, shed, breezeway, or any enclosed or semi-enclosed space — these are open-flame wood-burning pieces and require adequate ventilation.

Overhead clearance: Maintain a minimum of 10 feet of clearance from any overhead structure, pergola, or combustible material. Open-sky placement is ideal.

Side clearance: Keep at least 3 feet of clearance from furniture, fencing, trees, shrubs, and all combustible materials on all sides.

Surface: Place on a stable, level, non-combustible surface — stone pavers, concrete, brick, or gravel. Do not place directly on wood decking, grass, or any surface that could be damaged by radiated heat from the base.

Wind: Despite the smokeless design, avoid use in strong wind conditions. The secondary combustion effect is most effective in calm air.

Before You Light Important setup notes

Use only dry hardwood. Wet or green wood will produce heavy smoke and reduce the effectiveness of the smokeless design.

Not for cooking. Do not use to heat food or beverages.

Surfaces get hot. The bowl, sides, and base reach high temperatures during use and remain hot for some time after the fire dies down. Keep children and pets away.

Corten steel patina: New corten steel pieces will begin developing their natural rust-orange patina after the first few uses and weather exposures. This is expected and is part of the material's character — it is not a defect.

Ash removal: Allow the piece to cool completely before removing ash. Clean ash buildup periodically to maintain airflow through the base vents.
