Best OverallA well-built, genuinely low-smoke wood fire pit that owners take from the backyard to campsites and the ice without complaint about rust or performance.

A well-built, large capacity fire pit for a patio or backyard that gets used often, less practical as something moved site to site.
A compact propane fire pit for campsites, tailgates and small patios where wood fires are not allowed. Heat output and burn time are not listed, so warmth is hard to gauge in advance.
A propane fire pit table for a patio group that wants a flame without wood smoke. Plan on buying a tank separately, and ask the seller for the burner heat output since it is not listed.
A smokeless propane unit that works as a fire feature, a patio heater, or both, run from simple dials. Tank hookup and warranty details are not given, so confirm those before buying.
A compact propane fire pit built to travel to campsites and tailgates without wood or ash. The hose, tank and warranty are not listed, so plan to source and confirm them.
A durable wood fire pit for a family patio, with the smokeless design and long warranty as the reasons to choose it. The limitation is heft, so decide on its spot before setting it down.
A stainless wood fire pit for small backyard groups that want less smoke and an easy ash cleanout. It burns wood only and suits a handful of people, not a large party.
Popular PickA well-equipped portable propane fire pit, worth it for anyone who wants a clean, CSA approved flame without hauling firewood or ash.
A clean-burning propane fire pit built for patios and areas where wood fires are restricted, with the 20-pound propane tank as the one extra thing still needed.

A sturdy, genuinely low-smoke fire pit that owners rate well against pricier competitors, with a bundled cover that several say wears out fast.
A large 34-inch wood-burning fire bowl with a spark screen and full airflow cutouts, built for group gatherings rather than a small patio.
A well-equipped steel fire pit table with the safety accessories included, solid for patio use though a grill grate is not part of the box.
A compact, portable propane pit that trades some wind performance for smoke-free convenience and easy packing.
A 24 inch, 58,000 BTU propane fire pit with a self-igniting piezo system, a 10 foot hose and regulator, decorative lava rocks and a stabilizer ring for the tank.
A portable stainless tabletop fire pit for short burns of about an hour, worth it if low smoke and portability matter more than burn time.
A portable tabletop smokeless fire pit for small-space ambiance and s'mores, not a substitute for a full backyard fire pit.

These 5 fire pits are the most searched brands and models among the established products in this category (monthly searches for each brand and model); on a tie, the one with more owner ratings ranks first. Product data comes from public Amazon listings (updated 15 days ago). We do not test products ourselves.
Solo Stove, Outland Living, Ignik, GasBRUH, Tiki lead this category among the 21 brands that passed our curation checks.
A listing appears only when it has a recorded price, a minimum customer rating, and enough ratings or monthly sales. Generic and unbranded listings are left out, while every real brand stays, including brands sold only on Amazon. The ones that pass are ordered by how many people search for that brand and model each month; review counts only break ties.
Fire pits come as shallow bowls, deeper enclosed fire chambers and units built around a gas burner; their shapes change how you reach the fire and arrange seating around it. Start by deciding whether the pit will stay in a dedicated outdoor spot or move between storage, the garden and trips away, because carrying and packing it can rule out an otherwise suitable design.
For a pit you expect to move, assess the complete carrying load. Among the 20 products that list item weight, most fall between 2.8 and 35 pounds, and 23 pounds is typical. The listed weight may exclude a stand, lid, fuel container or other equipment, so compare what is included in that measurement with everything you would transport. Handles, removable legs and a carrying bag can make packing easier, but check whether those accessories are supplied or sold separately. Compare the packed dimensions with your vehicle’s storage space and the route through your garden gate. A pit that packs down neatly may still require awkward assembly each time you bring it out.
For a wood-burning pit, compare the fire chamber’s width and depth with the fire you intend to build: a narrow chamber may require shorter logs, while deep walls can obscure the flames from low chairs. For wood-burning designs promoted as reducing smoke, look for the manufacturer’s loading and airflow guidance; damp fuel, overloading and obstructed air inlets can increase smoke. If cooking matters, establish whether the manufacturer permits it before comparing grate height or food space. A spark screen is not a cooking grate, and a compatible grate may be sold separately.
Before buying, compare the manual’s required clearance above and around the pit with your intended location, including nearby fences, branches and roof overhangs. Establish whether your deck or patio surface is permitted and whether a specified protective base is required and included. For a gas burner, confirm the approved fuel supply, cylinder connection and whether the hose and regulator are supplied. Material descriptions such as Stainless Steel or Alloy Steel may refer to different components, so identify the fire chamber, outer shell and legs separately. Finally, look for instructions for removing ash or cleaning the burner area, draining rainwater and storing the pit, and confirm whether any required weather cover is included.
