Yes, Breeo smokeless fire pits are an excellent choice for premium outdoor living spaces in Montgomery County, MD and Fairfax County, VA. These innovative fire pits eliminate smoke while providing reliable heat and ambiance for your screened porch or deck. We've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you understand how Breeo fire pits work, their benefits, and whether they're the right fit for your outdoor entertaining needs.
No wood-burning fire pit can promise zero smoke. All the brand promises is that their fire pits produce significantly less smoke than traditional fires when the proper smoke-prevention steps are taken.
Breeo X Series fire pits come with two available steel finishes: stainless steel and Corten steel. Stainless steel will stay shiny and sleek even after decades in the elements. Corten steel, on the other hand, is designed to eventually develop a patina. This gives you fire pit a more rustic look.
The choice between the two is purely aesthetic and comes down to personal preference. Both offer the same level of durability, quality, and longevity.
It is not recommended to use a Breeo fire pit directly on a deck. This applies to natural wood decks, as well as any composite decking.
Recommended surfaces include gravel, pebbles, or dirt. If you’re placing your fire pit on something like concrete, it’s also a good idea to always have some sort of heat shield underneath your Breeo. Sand and gravel both work well to avoid any heat damage to the concrete.
While there’s no official recommendation, this mostly comes down to common sense. Placing your fire pit at least ten to twenty feet away from anything combustible should be a safe enough margin.
Before lighting your fire, make sure to check the weather. Excessive wind can kick up extra ash and carry sparks, making an otherwise safe distance hazardous. If relevant to your area, check local burn bans as well. A Breeo provides a live fire experience like any traditional fire pit, and any restrictions or regulations apply.
Yes. Drainage holes help ensure any water that gets inside your Breeo can escape. (Remember, these are meant to live outdoors!) These drainage holes are also important in maximizing airflow. This is key to ensuring your smokeless fire pit is actually smokeless when operated.
Any Breeo fire pit will arrive fully assembled and ready to use. It doesn’t require professional installation.
However, if you’re looking to maximize the safety of your Breeo fire pit by inserting it within a masonry surround, this might require the assistance of a professional. It depends on your comfort level with DIY home projects.
All Breeo smokeless fire pits come with a limited lifetime warranty. The warranty covers material defects and workmanship errors; it does not apply to normal wear and tear or misuse.
All Breeo products—from the fire pits themselves to the suite of accessories—are made in the United States.
Breeo always recommends letting a fire fully extinguish on its own. This results in less ash and less chance of a smoky fire later.
Bree does not recommend any of the following practices:
This usually needs to be done after three or four fires. Basically, you don’t want the ash to reach a level that it blocks the airflow from the fire pit bottom. (Diminished airflow increases the likelihood of smoke.)
Always wait until ashes are completely cool before removing. Use an ash-removing vacuum or the Breeo ash shovel to accomplish this.
