Best Fire Pits of 2026

"After debating for a year, I finally bought the Bonfire and I’m honestly blown away by the efficient, nearly smokeless burn and how little campfire smell it leaves. The design is top-notch, and it handles store-bought firewood easily. I’d recommend getting a lid or spark screen for peace of mind, but overall, it’s an absolute gamechanger for my backyard."

"The Solo Stove Bonfire is the perfect size for my deck, comfortably seating 4-5 people. While it does produce some smoke at times, it's much less than traditional fire pits, and I never have to move to dodge smoke. The build is sturdy, the cover works well, and I’ve had no rust issues since I keep it covered outside. Highly recommend this bonfire stove!"

"I wish I’d bought this Solo Stove sooner! It kept us warm and cozy on a rainy, cold Halloween night and was truly smokeless except when paper was added. The assembly and cleanup were simple, and the removable ash tray made things easy. My husband, who was skeptical, ended up loving it too. This stove is fantastic for making memories and keeping you warm outdoors."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well-designed and versatile the OutVue 36 Inch Fire Pit is. Setting it up was a bit fiddly but not difficult, and I appreciated the clear enough instructions and solid build quality. I really enjoy being able to use it as a fire pit, grill, and table—that multipurpose functionality is a big plus. The cover is a great addition, too. For the price, it’s a thoughtful and practical backyard addition."

"This is a fantastic fire pit for the price—it’s lightweight, functional, and easy to put together. The fact that everything stores inside the pit when not in use and it can double as a table is a big bonus. The cover fits snugly and looks nice, and I’m impressed by how much functionality it offers compared to other fire pits at this price point."

"While the fire pit is a great idea with a nice look, the assembly instructions were frustrating and unclear. I noticed some misaligned parts and minor peeling paint, and the build feels a little less sturdy than I hoped. Also, I was disappointed to find you’re not supposed to cook directly on the included grills. I think the experience could be improved with better instructions and hardware alignment, but overall, it’s an okay product once assembled."

"I found this fire pit to be super easy to assemble and loved that it’s lightweight and portable. It’s just the right size for my deck and adds a touch of style to my outdoor space. Great value for the price!"

"This fire pit is small but affordable, and I liked how it was simple to clean and stayed sturdy both on grass and concrete. It made a nice-sized fire, but I did notice it may rust if left in the rain."

"I really enjoy having this little fire pit. It’s perfect for my patio, easy to put together, and a good fit for smaller areas. The height is ideal for burning cut firewood, and it feels like decent quality for the size."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how effective and portable this little fire pit is. It keeps us genuinely warm on chilly nights and is incredibly easy to clean up afterward. The flames are mesmerizing, and there’s barely any smoke unless I use the wrong fuel. For the price, this is a steal!"

"This mini fire pit is perfect for my small patio. I love that I can use pellets or small wood pieces and adjust the flame size as needed. It’s easy to assemble and looks fantastic while in use. Cleanup is a breeze!"

"I really like this fireplace. It works really well for its size and is a great value. There’s a little bit of smoke sometimes, so it’s not totally smokeless, but overall I’m very happy with it."

"I was really impressed with how hot this little fire pit gets, even with pellets, though next time I’ll try wood. The forks were perfect for roasting marshmallows, and it’s the ideal size for storage and travel. I’ll probably get a diffuser to push the heat out more, but overall, it’s very durable and well-built."

"This fire pit is perfect for camping—compact, easy to pack up, and simple to light. The metal is thick and sturdy, and we had a great time making s’mores. The only thing is you need to feed it wood every 10 minutes or so because of its size, but that’s not a huge issue."

"I love how this fire pit puts out good heat with almost no smoke. We used starter squares and small wood pieces and had a great fire for making s’mores. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a small, efficient fire pit."

"After getting a motorhome, I realized how much I appreciate this portable propane fire pit—especially since it keeps us warm without the hassle of smelling like smoke. I love the foldable legs and sturdy straps for easy storage, and the fact that I can use it on our outdoor rug with no heat transfer underneath is a huge bonus. It’s also fuel-efficient and the cast iron grate is a nice touch for cooking. Overall, this has become a must-have for our camping trips!"

"This has probably been the best addition to my camping setup! I can easily place a Dutch oven or kettle on the grate, roast marshmallows, and enjoy a lot of heat. The long propane hose keeps the tank safely away, and the sturdy strap handle makes it simple to carry. I especially appreciate that it’s safe to use during burn bans. Highly recommend!"

"I’ve had this fire pit for over a year and it’s incredibly reliable and easy to use. It heats up my back porch in minutes and is perfect for camping with its compact, portable design. I’d definitely suggest getting the carry bag for added convenience when taking it on the road. It's a great investment."

"I absolutely love this tabletop fire pit! It’s perfect for my deck, especially since windy evenings make a regular campfire impossible. The glass surround and pebbles look great, and the build feels sturdy. If you want a cozy atmosphere without fuss, this is it!"

"After my initial unit wouldn’t light with the piezo, I had to return it. But the replacement worked much better! It’s still not super warm, so I’m looking for a heat deflector, but overall I’m pleased now. I appreciate that customer service responded quickly."

"The unit looks nice and fits through my table’s umbrella hole. I wish there was an option to run the hose out to the side, but it works fine as is. Hooking up to a large tank was easy with a converter. Satisfied with my purchase!"

"I absolutely love how portable and efficient this little fire pit is. It puts out a surprising amount of heat with almost no smoke, making outdoor dining in cooler weather so much more enjoyable. The accessories it comes with are handy, and I felt safe even using it on a glass table. Highly recommended for anyone needing a compact fire source!"

"For its size, this fire pit delivers impressive heat and is easy to use and clean. I mainly use pellets and get about an hour of burn time, plus clean-up is a breeze—just fine ash left behind. It's smaller and more affordable than big brand names, but still does the job extremely well."

"I wanted something space-saving for my RV that didn't require much wood and this fit the bill. It's simple to light, gives off little to no smoke, and the pad keeps surfaces cool. There's something so relaxing about sitting around its flame. I'd definitely recommend it."

"I've relied on these logs for years, and they’re the most cost-effective and hassle-free option for anyone who doesn’t want to constantly tend the fire. They’re a real treat for relaxing evenings!"

"I use these logs all winter in my woodstove. They light up easily, burn steadily, and often last even longer than the promised two hours. I highly recommend them!"

"We picked up a couple of these for a weekend at a rental cabin. The logs lasted about four hours, which was just right, but there was a bit of a chemical smell when we went outside. Otherwise, they worked great!"

"I like how incredibly easy these are to light, and they burn down almost completely, leaving me with hardly any cleanup. They’re perfect when I want a quick, hassle-free fire in the backyard."

"These logs are way smaller than typical fire logs, but they’re actually the perfect size for travel or camping. Each one lasted me about 2.5 to 3 hours, which was just right for cooking or relaxing by the fire."

"I tried to cook hotdogs over one of these, but it gave off black soot and an odd smell. They’re fine for a small fire, but not the best for cooking food."
