What Makes a Smokeless Firepit Work?

If you've ever sat around a traditional campfire, firepit or braai, you know that the smoke can be a major drawback. It stings your eyes, leaves your clothes smelling, and can really ruin the moment. Smokeless firepits are a revolutionary design solution that allows you to enjoy all the warmth and ambiance of a fire or braai without the hassle of smoke. But how exactly do our Smokeless firepits work? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

The Simple Explanation: How Our Smokeless Firepits Work

Traditional firepits or braais create smoke because of incomplete combustion—meaning the fire isn’t burning all the fuel (in this case wood or charcoal) completely. Smoke is a by-product of this incomplete combustion and when this happens, unburnt fuel is released as a pollutant into the atmosphere.

Our Smokeless firepits, on the other hand, use a clever design that allows air to get evenly distributed and compressed as it enters the base of the fire. The hot air then rises through our double diffuser and through the flow chamber, feeding the fire with oxygen. If you remember your science classes, this oxygen supply is what helps the fire to burn more efficiently and at a higher temperature, ensuring that less smoke is produced.

Essentially, because our Smokeless firepits burn so efficiently, there’s no smoke and you’re also able to get a lot more heat. This means you get all the warmth and cozy atmosphere of a traditional fire or braai, but without the annoying smoke!
