Where there's smoke, there's fire -- but the reverse doesn't necessarily have to be true. There are specially designed smokeless firepits that, while not technically completely smokeless, do a good job of reducing the amount of smoke they give off.

First off, you have to give TIKI some credit for honesty. They own up to the fact that their fire pit is low-smoke, not smokeless, which most other companies don't do. And with its patented internal airflow system, you really can expect very little smoke -- and less ash. Plus, when you do need to clean up the ash, the pull-out tray at the bottom makes it a breeze.

This TIKI fire pit offers flexibility. You can use the TIKI-brand wood packs if you want an easy-to-start fire that lasts about 30 minutes. The company includes one with your fire pit purchase, so you can give it a try. All that said, you can also use the wood you have on hand with this fire pit. 

The TIKI fire pit is made from 16-gauge stainless steel, then powder-coated to make it durable and weather-resistant. It also comes with a weather-resistant cover to help it last through the years. All of this amounted to it winning the 2021 Edison Best New Product Awards?.
