The Bonfire projects heat—a lot of it—in an even circle, but mostly from the rim and up. If we had the fire roaring, the heat radiated more evenly but didn’t really reach our feet on a cool day. It seemed to radiate a lot of heat out at an angle thanks to the bowl shape and created a warm zone in the shape of an inverted, squat cone, even when the flames weren’t reaching out of the fire pit. When they were, we could feel even more heat radiating straight out from them. Multi-fuel stoves are able to burn multiple sources of fuel including wood, natural smokeless fuel and manufactured smokeless fuel, while wood burners should only be fuelled with logs. While a multi-fuel stove can provide you with more choice, some of the fuel choices, such as manufactured smokeless fuel, produce more CO2. For the most efficient, eco-friendly burn, always fuel a wood burner with dry firewood. Ideally, the wood should be kiln-dried or have a maximum moisture content of 20%. How much should I spend on a wood burner? First, manage your expectations regarding smokeless fire pits. While good ones are nearly completely smokeless visually, they still produce exhaust gasses so expect some of that campfire smell, especially if it’s breezy. For the same reason, you might occasionally get a face full of invisible smoke if you’re in the wind.

Initially, we were concerned with how effective this would be in fostering a smokeless fire but it was as smokeless as any we tested. To build the fire, we used logs 12 to 13 inches long. As with any round fire pit, filling it with wood requires logs of different lengths—longer in the center and shorter at the edges. Most smokeless fire pits burn wood. You’ll want to use seasoned wood—that means it has had time to dry out over six or more months. Wood that’s still green or wet will burn more slowly and may produce smoke even if you use it in a smokeless fire pit. Although the pollutants released by wood burning stoves are clearly linked to negative health and environmental outcomes, the actual amount of these pollutants released into your home and the air around it during stove use is currently unclear.

Which fuel is a smokeless fuel?

and ‘0.1’ refer to the diameter, in micrometres, of the particles making up the particulate matter. For context, the average human hair is about 70 micrometres in diameter. They use less fuel, so they’re more energy-efficient and they’re safer, as there aren’t any stray sparks when the door is closed. Wood burners are also controllable, in that you can limit the amount of air available to stop the heat from becoming too fierce. As the largest model of the lot, the X Series was easy to load with wood and start the fire. We fit 18- to 20-inch logs into it, laying them across the raised X in the bottom of the pit. This patented design keeps the logs high, allowing air to flow in and feed the fire from the bottom. It includes a carrying case with a drawstring closure at the top—which we love—and is essentially a big bag with handles, which makes it easier to transport. It also keeps ashes from falling out in the car, house, or anywhere we store it. DEFRA (the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) reported that domestic wood burning has become the single biggest source of PM pollution in the UK, exceeding that of road traffic.

Stoves also release particulate matter (PM) – tiny solids or liquids that are suspended in the air. These include dirt, dust, and soot. To empty the ash pan, we had to reach in and remove the perforated bottom grate and tip it to dump any ash off and into the pan below. After removing the grate, we could remove and dump the pan though the pan is smaller than the grate, so some ash is going to fall around the outside edge. In testing, the body drew air in at the base to feed the fire both at the bottom and along the top lip, functioning as intended to reduce smoke. Aside from when we were initially lighting the fire, we noted nearly no smoke at all. The use of charcoal, along with the optional Outpost Grill attachment, makes the Y-series a competent barbecue. You can cook over wood as well, and the height of the grill surface is adjustable so you can keep clear of the flames. We appreciated the adjustable legs which raised the top of the fire pit up to 20 inches and made the grill surface easier to reach. Heat radiates well from the Y-Series when loaded up with logs. The 15-inch body height allowed for more heat to be felt on our lower extremities. Esse might be better known for its cast-iron range cookers but this wood burner has just as much to offer. Like Esse’s cookers, it’s British-made and built to last, with an improved efficiency of 82%, DEFRA-approval and good heat output for a mid-sized room (around 75m3). It’s also fairly short and compact, which is perfect for smaller hearths. Traditional in style, it has Esse’s logo on the door for the ultimate heritage feel.As you’d hope from a company with a decades-long history of making stoves, the efficiency of the Holborn 7 is high at 81.2% and has a clearSkies rating of 4, meaning that it’s also DEFRA-approved. What’s more, a lifetime guarantee when many come with just five years is sure to add peace of mind. Perfect for almost any style of mid-sized to larger room. A 2020 study (funded by The Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures, The University of Sheffield and The University of Nottingham) found that concentrations of PM2.5 in the home were almost 200% higher than normal when a wood-burning stove is in use. We fed logs as needed to keep the wood loaded even with the rim, which had flames extending 12 to 24 inches out of the fire pit, creating a comfortable warm zone. The X Series is the shortest model we tested, which meant that we could feel more heat radiating lower on our knees as we sat two feet from the fire pit. With central heating more expensive than ever, burning your own fuel to stay warm might feel like an economical - as well as cosy and aesthetically pleasing - choice.

The Breeo Y-Series comes from the brand that introduced the first smokeless fire pit to the market. It's smaller and lighter than previous models with an added handle on the body—it's positioned to balance the fire pit when carried in one hand at your side. Below, you’ll find our roundup of the best wood burners you can buy right now, as well as our buying guide to help you find the right one for your needs and budget. REMEMBER: For safe effective use always keep chimneys and flueways clear and ensure your appliance has adequate ventilation. A fireguard should always be used with an open fire. For your safety - Never place Instant Light Fire Logs on an already lit fire, or burn more than one at a time - If using your fireplace for the first time, ensure that your chimney is safe for use. Consult a professional chimney sweep if you're in any doubt - Do not break up or poke after lighting. If used in a stove, leave doors open - Always use a fireguard, particularly if there are children present or if the fire is to be left unattended - Keep out of reach of children - Do not breathe fume or vapours - Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking Contains: Wax & SawdustA slight disadvantage of the concave shape is that, although we fit 14-inch logs in it, they wouldn’t drop to the bottom. This made it more difficult to fill the fire pit and keep a bigger fire going. This means they can be carried around the body and cause damage to other organs. A review of current research has linked to PM to conditions including: Any appliance that burns solid fuel, such as wood burning or multifuel stoves, releases dangerous gases. These include organic gaseous compounds (OGC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2).
