Are you considering a fire pit for your backyard? You may have considered a smokeless fire pit. Maybe you are debating a more traditional wood fire pit? When you explore your options and understand the higher costs of a smokeless fire pit, you may be asking — are smokeless fire pits worth it? We may be able to answer your questions with this comparison of traditional fire pits and smokeless fire pits created by Fox River Fire Rings.
Traditional Wood Fire Pits vs Smokeless Fire Pits
When you decide to purchase a backyard fire pit, you have a pair of basic options — traditional wood-burning fire pits like Fox River Fire Rings and smokeless fire pits from brands like Breeo® and Solo Stove. No matter which direction you choose to go, you will be faced with pros and cons and this comparison created by Fox River Fire Rings may help you make a decision.
Price
Price will always be a factor when you decide to invest in your backyard entertainment space and purchase a backyard fire pit. Traditional wood fire pits — like Fox River Fire Rings — are a more affordable option with prices that start at $112 for a 30-inch solid multi-piece design and range to $268 for 60-inch fire rings with custom design options. When you look at smokeless fire pits, the prices are much higher with Breeo® fire pits starting at $399 and Solo Stove fire pits starting at $200.
Style and Design
When you purchase a fire pit for your backyard, you may want a design that reflects your interests with a custom design. Smokeless fire pits feature a basic cylindrical design that may be available in different materials or in different color options. Traditional fire pits can feature a wider range of design options with intricate patterns cut into the steel to provide you with a custom design pattern. Fox River Fire Rings are available with 24 custom design options that potential customers will love.
Burn Quality
No one wants a face full of smoke when they are sitting around their backyard fire pit and how well and how efficiently a fire burns in your backyard fire pit needs to be a consideration. Smokeless fire pits — which are not truly smokeless — feature a tall, solid design that forces the smoke upward and directs the heat from the fire upward. This can be to your detriment when you are sitting around the fire on a cool fall night, preventing you from enjoying the full warmth of the fire. Traditional wood-burning fire pits allow the heat to escape and provide real warmth when you are sitting around the fire at night and while excess smoke can always be an issue with a traditional fire pit, you can reduce the smoke from your fire when you take the right steps.
