There’s nothing quite like gathering around a firepit to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere for outdoor get-togethers. As we were setting up our newest tiny home airBNB in the Texas Hill Country, we knew adding outdoor amenities would help us extend the space of our tiny home and make guests rave about our property.
When I discovered the TIKI Smokeless Fire Pit, I wasn’t really looking to grab content to post online, I was just shopping for the best. At the Mood Factory, we try to really focus on products that we actually use ourselves. It doesn’t help fellow hosts when we promote things that we have never tried or haven’t received on good authority. But we grabbed a TIKI, and fell in love.
Here’s why I love this fire pit and why it is one of my top 5 fire pits for 2024.
The Joy of a Smokeless Fire
First and foremost, the TIKI Smokeless Firepit lives up to its name with the smokeless technology. By optimizing airflow and burning at a higher temperature, it drastically reduces the amount of smoke produced. This means no more dodging smoke or dealing with the unpleasant smell that lingers on your clothes and hair. Fire are a huge part of a memorable outdoor experience. Unfortunately, wood fires are notorious for smoke.
We love the idea of a smokeless pit because, personally, it keeps my clothes from smelling bad, and it also prevents smoke wafting into the tiny house. And, bonus, you can sit MUCH closer to the fire without crying from the smoke in your face.
Easy Maintenance with the Built-In Ash Pan
Cleaning up after a fire can be a hassle, but the TIKI Firepit makes it incredibly easy with its built-in ash pan. It collects ash and debris efficiently, so all you have to do is remove the pan, dispose of the ash, and you’re ready for the next fire. This feature alone saves so much time and effort for our cleaner, making it one of the most user-friendly fire pits I’ve ever used.
Effortless Fire Starting…Kinda
Most TIKIs come with a fire starter pack. It lights quickly and burns for about 30 minutes, providing a convenient and consistent way to enjoy a fire without the struggle of kindling. This feature is particularly great if you have the ability to afford those fire packs. For the rest of us, wood gathering is the way to go. (Except for me, I send my four kids to do the hard stuff like that, they love it).
While the TIKI doesn’t require the use of the firestarter packs (I use these fire starter sticks), they are convenient, especially for hosts who can afford them.
Pro Tip: We have A LOT of cedar on this property, and therefore a lot of firewood. We actually chop and bundle it and upsell it to guests. They are free to collect wood from around the property or purchase from us on the honor system. We recommend telling guests to bring their own firewood, collect it on the property AND upsell pre cut firewood as an additional revenue stream.
Built to Last
Durability is key for any outdoor equipment, and the TIKI Smokeless Firepit doesn’t disappoint. It’s constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel and has a powder-coated finish that adds an extra layer of protection against rust and wear. This means it will remain a centerpiece of your outdoor gatherings for years to come. I ALWAYS place the cover on to protect the inside from debris.
Safety First
For my wife, safety is always a priority with a firepit, and the TIKI Smokeless Fire Pit excels in this area. The included spark screen helps contain embers, reducing the risk of sparks flying out. Additionally, its stable design prevents it from tipping over easily, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience every time.
Sleek and Sturdy Design
One of the things I love most about the TIKI Smokeless Firepit is its design. It’s crafted from high-quality stainless steel and powder-coated in black, and has a modern, sleek look that fits perfectly with any outdoor decor. Measuring 24.75 x 24.75 x 18.75 inches and weighing 45 pounds, it’s sturdy enough to withstand the elements yet portable enough to move around as needed.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Smokeless Experience: The reduced smoke is a major advantage, enhancing comfort and enjoyment.
- Durable and Attractive Design: High-quality materials and a stylish finish ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal.
- Easy Maintenance: The built-in ash pan and overall design simplify cleanup and maintenance.
- User-Friendly: Quick setup and easy fire-starting make it accessible for everyone.
Cons:
- Price Point: It’s on the higher end of the price spectrum, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.
- Weight: At 45 pounds, it’s not the lightest option available, which could be a factor if portability is a priority.
Conclusion
The TIKI Smokeless Firepit is an exceptional addition to any outdoor airBNB or VRBO space. Its innovative smokeless technology, durable construction, and user-friendly features make it a standout choice for those seeking a high-quality firepit experience. While the price may be a bit steep, the benefits it offers—especially the reduced smoke—justify the investment for many users.
