Panovue Smokeless Fire Pit (22 Inch, Black)

Is this fire pit actually smokeless?

It is best described as low smoke rather than fully smokeless. The internal airflow design burns wood more completely than a standard fire pit, which cuts down smoke noticeably once the fire gets going. Some smoke will still appear during the initial lighting stage before the fire reaches full temperature. Using dry hardwood such as oak or apple, as several buyers recommend, gives the best low smoke result.

What size wood should I use?

The fire pit has a 55.9cm diameter, so logs should be cut shorter than this to fit inside comfortably. Smaller pieces of hardwood or wood pellets work well because they catch quickly and feed the airflow system properly. Avoid oversized logs that block the air holes around the base.

How heavy is the fire pit and is it easy to carry?

It weighs 13.88kg, which is light enough for one person to lift and carry to the car or garden. The panels also assemble without tools, so you can pack it flat and build it again quickly at your destination, whether that's a campsite or the beach.

Can I use this fire pit on grass or a wooden deck?

No. The manufacturer advises against placing this on grass or wooden flooring due to the heat generated underneath. Use it on a non-flammable surface such as concrete, gravel or a fire-resistant mat and keep it away from furniture and anything flammable.

How do I clean the ash out after use?

Once the fire is fully out and cool, lift the outer body of the fire pit away from the base. This exposes the ash tray, which lifts out for easy emptying. There is no need to scrape or vacuum ash from inside the unit.

What comes included in the box?

The fire pit ships with a waterproof cover and a poker. The cover protects the unit from rain and debris when not in use, while the poker lets you adjust logs during burning without needing to get close to the flames by hand.

How many people can sit around this fire pit?

Reviewers and the manufacturer suggest it comfortably suits 5 to 8 people for a gathering, camping trip or patio evening. The 22 inch size gives enough flame and heat output for a small to medium group.

Is it safe to use around children and pets?

The manufacturer recommends keeping a safe distance of at least 0.5 metres from the fire pit, especially for children and pets. As with any open flame, supervision is needed at all times and the unit should never be left unattended while lit.
