Dragonfire Smokeless Fire Pit

Made from pure steel, the Dragonfire smokeless fire pit is specifically designed for full-length 16-inch logs. It’s one of the most durable designs in its class, offering a simple design that is made for camping, cabin, or backyard use.

The biggest asset of the fire pit is its smokeless performance. With considerably less smoke with each fire, this fire pit is recommended for those who like to get warm next to a campfire without having clothes smell like smoke.

Launched on Kickstarter, the Dragon fire smokeless fire pit is mainly a fire pit that can be turned into a grill for clients who purchase the grill grate. This option is similar to the accessories other smokeless fire pits come with (such as the Zentro Stainless Steel Smokeless Fire Pit).

Portability is key

No products found.

One of the main benefits of the smokeless fire pit is given by its portability. While not the most compact smokeless fire pit, it’s made just small enough to fit standard-length logs.

With a height of 15 inches and a diameter of 23.5 inches, it has common sizing when compared to its alternatives.

However, it’s one of the compact smokeless fire pits. These types of fire pits are known for having double walls which means Dragonfire has an efficient space-saving design for 2 walls that support extra air intake which makes the fire pit smokeless.

Small but suitable for standard logs

While small, Dragonfire’s smokeless fire pit fits standard 16-inch logs. These types of logs can be bought at most outdoor gear retailers. They are known for sustaining a large fire that burns a long time.

Furthermore, the smokeless fire pit is also known for running with cardboard as fuel. But this type of fuel burns for a shorter time.

Other types of fuel are also supported. Wood pellets are among the efficient alternatives to logs.

Both wood pellets and logs are considered for almost smokeless fire. For the fire in this fire pit to be truly smokeless, both logs and pellets need to be properly dry. Damp wood will create more smoke than dry logs.

No setup required

A key role of this smokeless fire pit is its efficient design. There are no installation steps to follow. You simply place the stand and the deflector ring to use the fire pit.

While other fire pits might require assembly, Dragon fire’s design is mostly recommended for beginners.

A beginner-friendly design is characteristic of good camping gear. However, the smokeless fire pit can also be used at home.

Cleanup is also easy with this fire pit. You do need to turn it upside down to clean the ash, however. There’s no ash shovel or tool to get the ash out in the pack. It’s best to allow the ash to cool down completely before collecting it in a garbage bag.

Portable wood grill

The portability of the Dragonfire smokeless fire pit cannot be overlooked. Its included stand recommends it for home backyard or patio use. But it remains an essential solution for those who want to set up a quick campfire without having the tent and their clothes smell like smoke.

The fire pit weighs 31 lbs. This is considered lightweight in the world of steel-made smokeless fire pits. It can easily fit a car trunk to be moved to camp and from camp as often as needed.

Spark screen for extra protection

Another key reason users get the Dragonfire smokeless fire pit is the included spark screen. This keeps the fire going safely.

Sparks fly often around the fire pit. Dry wood and even wood pellets are sometimes known for creating sparks that can burn through clothes or nylon tents quickly. The spark screen is offered in the pack which can be an important money-saving feature.
