"There's nothing as primordial as a campfire. And also few things as smelly. Even the best smokeless firepits aren't actually quite smokeless, of course. Where there's fire, there's smoke. But a new generation of backyard smokeless pits can come pretty close to making you not notice-and definitely lower your dry-cleaning bills and make you more popular with your neighbors. And so with a lot less eye-welling smoke, you can take part in mankind's oldest ritual: sitting around a fire"
"As summer drifts into fall, a backyard firepit can extend the time you can spend outdoors happily. In fact, some smokeless firepits I tested with air quality monitors actually managed to beat California air quality standards by a factor of three. There are of course dozens of outdoor firepits on the market. We've put together this guide to help you find the best firepit for every outdoor space, whether that means a wee patio firepit or a big backyard centerpiece."
"At 19.5 inches wide and 15 inches tall, WIRED reviewer Martin Cizmar noted, this stainless steel pit is small enough and light enough at 25 pounds to toss in the truck and lug to the beach or a tailgate but big enough to gather a group of a half-dozen friends around without feeling like you're sitting around a Sterno can."
Modern smokeless firepits markedly reduce visible smoke while not being entirely smoke-free. Reduced smoke lowers clothing odor, cuts dry-cleaning needs, and reduces neighbor complaints. Some models tested with air quality monitors achieved particulate levels three times better than California standards. Smokeless pits enable extended outdoor use into cooler seasons and support traditional activities like gathering and simple cooking. A wide range of outdoor firepits is available for different spaces, from small patio units to large backyard centerpieces. Notable models balance portability, durability, and maintenance features such as double walls and removable ash pans.
