When the firebox is not in use, the cover protects its inner workings and allows the unit to function as a standard table for cocktails and snacks. The rectangular model can comfortably seat six to eight people and has a wide rail around the firebox for resting food, drinks, and the like. The unit can also be attached to your house's natural gas. It features a 55,000 BTU burner that is adjustable to your liking and comes in a brown aluminum finish with an enclosed propane tank storage underneath the tabletop. Veering from the pit design of our other picks, the Yardbird is both furniture and fire pit. The battery-operated ignitor can be troublesome, and some might want more fire glass than is shipped with the unit. One attachment, the Solo Stove Pi Fire Pizza Oven attachment ($260 at Amazon), will turn your pit into pizza oven. Any add-ons, such as a stand, lid, or cooking surfaces, are available separately. The Bonfire ships with a carry bag, and that's about it. Cleaning it was easy thanks to its removable base plate and ash pan. The airflow design allows wood and charcoal to burn almost entirely burning four split logs for about 45 minutes, I was left with clean, white ash and only a bit of unburnt charcoal. You won't have to move your seat when the wind changes. As a smokeless pit, it still produced a small amount of smoke, as expected, but it burned clean, white, and odorless. But don't let that description fool you it effectively burns clean and hot. The Bonfire 2.0 is a sleek, bare-bones fire pit. Also, it may be too efficient, as it burns wood quickly. It's a little low to the ground without purchasing the optional stand. You could also use it with a swing-away grill to cook burgers or hot dogs. The Peak comes with a storage and carrying bag. The grate contains extra welds to facilitate flexing that occurs at such temperatures. Made of heavy-duty steel and coated with high-grade, heat-resistant paint, it can withstand temperatures of 1,200☏. Its two-piece design includes an ash collector, which nests with the firebox for storage.

It produced more heat than most smokeless fire pits we tested, and the wide mouth of the firebox let us add fuel comfortably. We burned wood and pellets to test the Peak, noticing that it burned cleaner and cleaner as the fire grew. While smokeless fire pits are not truly smokeless, the lack of smoke and odor gives them an advantage over traditional fire pits. It requires pellets or smaller pieces of wood (up to 10 inches long) to operate as a smokeless pit.
