Streaks of orange line a sunsetting Long Island sky. It’s going to be the perfect night — except for that persistent ocean breeze threatening to push smoke from your fire pit all across your deck. That’s why homeowners all over are looking for smokeless options like a Breeo fire pit.
Breeo Fire Pits: A Quick History
According to breeo.com, the first smokeless fire pits entered the market in 2011. Two years later, Andy Kaufman, one of the innovators behind the first smokeless fire pit, met a friend, Jonathan Miller, a young man in Lancaster, PA, and introduced him to the product.
“This new innovation aligned with Jon’s desire for off-the-grid living, childhood experiences with live-fire cooking, and his background in marketing. Together, Andy and Jon became business partners and created Breeo Industries in 2014.”
The creation of their unique designs became the first backyard-compatible smokeless firepit. Breeo became recognized for its quality and performance as more customers fell in love with the brand and its craftsmanship.
They didn’t stop at function. These firepits are rugged and beautiful. The weathered appearance of Corten steel or the sleek design of stainless steel makes every firepit stand out as a focal point. Breeo firepits serve as a source of warmth while simultaneously creating a sense of community among its users.
The history and ingenuity of Breeo fire pits continue to be one of the pieces that encourage homeowners to get outside and spend time with family and friends.
How Breeo Fire Pits Work
A Breeo fire pit looks like any other on the outside. But, as you can guess, there’s some magic working on the inside. They’re equipped with advanced airflow engineering, which transforms the fire’s performance.
They have a double-wall construction. The fire pit draws air from underneath, which travels through the space between the inner and outer walls before being shot back into the flame’s top as superheated air. Smoke and gases are eliminated as that pressurized oxygen literally burns them in a second combustion process.
It’s impressive science. The benefits are clear:
- Smoke doesn’t get in everyone’s faces
- You’ll use less firewood
- The emissions are cleaner
- Less ash and less tending to the fire
Types of Breeo Fire Pits
Breeo provides various firepit designs to suit your lifestyle requirements as well as cooking needs and available space.
Breeo X Series
| Model | Weight | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| X19 | 47 lbs | $399 | Great for patios and portability |
| X24 | 62 lbs | $599 | Popular mid-size choice for backyards |
| X30 | 94 lbs | $799 | For large gatherings and big spaces |
| X42 | 135 lbs | $1,999 | Massive fire pit for ultimate backyard setup |
The X Series stands out as one of the company’s most sought-after products. The available dimensions allow you to pick one that suits you and your yard best. The X Series firepits feature a corten steel or stainless steel construction (the stainless steel will cost you an extra $200).
The corten steel is awesome, but it does weather over time.
You can enhance your Breeo X Series fire pit experience by purchasing add-ons. The $175 Breeo Base is great if you need a heat-capturing layer between your fire pit and your deck if that’s your setup.
A $170 spark screen traps any stray embers, and the X Series Lid ($130) and Fire Pit Cover ($70) provide protection to your fire pit by keeping the rain and any animals from ruining its appearance.
Breeo Y Series
The Breeo Y Series Smokeless Fire Pit offers smoke-free warmth in a convenient portable design. This fire pit weighs 31 pounds and includes a Pakka wood handle to simplify transportation during camping trips or outdoor gatherings.
One of the standout features of the Y Series is its collapsible legs, which are adjustable to three positions:
- Stow at 11 inches
- Burn at 15 inches
- Cook at 21 inches
This product includes a protective heat barrier that makes it safe to use on decks — including composite surfaces. Breeo did note that you need to have its legs on the “highest setting if being used on composite decking.”
It uses the highest-grade stainless steel. But just reading the product description, what I like most about it is that you can fuel it with wood, lump charcoal, or pellets. The convenience factor on this Breeo fire pit is maxed out.
Breeo Luxeve
You know anything that has “Lux” in the title is going to be the top of the line. It costs a pretty penny, but for many, it’s worth the cost. Coming in at $1,899. Not only does it have the top-rated design and build, but the Breeo Luxeve comes in some of the sharpest-looking colors.
And that’s the main pro for this line. Let’s say you overhauled your backyard. You added an outdoor kitchen, redid your deck with Trex, and even added a small space with stamped concrete where you want to add a firepit. The last thing you want is a firepit that sticks out like a sore thumb.
So, the Luxeve line is the way to go. Not only can you choose from four distinct colors — bronze vein, earth rust, silver vein, and white river — but the glass sets these Breeo fire pits apart.
You can add these glass colors in between the two walls:
- black
- dark blue
- amber blue
- crystal clear
- gray
The colors, the glass, and the Breeo lifetime warranty make this a great go-to for a fire pit that matches the look and feel of your outdoor space.
Materials and Build Quality
The quality of a Breeo fire pit is unmatched.
These firepits are durable. Breeo backs them up with their limited lifetime warranty.
In the previous section, I briefly talked about the materials used to make their products. Customers can choose between two materials: stainless steel and Corten steel. Stainless steel offers a contemporary appearance while resisting corrosion and needing little maintenance. It’s perfect for humid or coastal environments. Honestly, on Long Island, I’d fork over the extra $200 for the stainless steel.
Weathering steel, known as Corten steel, purposefully develops a rust-colored patina over time. This surface provides natural beauty while preventing additional corrosion of the underlying metal.
Here’s what makes Breeo firepits stand out:
- Thick-gauge construction: Breeo firepits maintain their shape even after multiple uses.
- Weather resistance: The Breeo firepits perform even when exposed to rain and snow.
- Solid welds and seamless finishes: The welding and finish standards of this product match what you would anticipate from custom metalwork.
Cooking on a Breeo Firepit
Backyard chefs and food lovers discover a whole new culinary experience with a Breeo firepit. This appliance functions as both a grill, a smoker, and a flame-seared cooking station in one package.
Breeo firepits provide precise cooking capabilities through their durable build and available accessory options. The Outpost Grill is a stainless-steel grate that can be adjusted and locked above the flames. The firepit enables restaurant-quality cooking on your patio by allowing you to sear steaks and roast both vegetables and marshmallows.
The addition of a cast iron griddle enables users to cook pancakes, bacon, and eggs directly over a wood fire. Learning to cook with a live fire takes practice to master, but it delivers unmatched flavor when mastered. A Breeo-cooked meal delivers unforgettable smoky flavor and a satisfying charred taste.
It also becomes a social experience. People come together to keep warm and get some great food.
Quick Summary
So you know, Breeo has a lot more products that they offer. They have live-fire grills, pizza ovens, and even furniture. They really take enjoying the outdoors seriously. Anyway, the goal of this post was to help you better understand their lines if you’re in the market for a Breeo fire pit. The X, Y, and Luxeve series each serve a unique use case.
But each one would work well for Long Island homeowners.
