About Wizard smokeless fire pits
Wizard makes smokeless fire pits designed to give you the warmth and atmosphere of a real wood fire without the clouds of smoke that follow you around a traditional fire pit. They come in stainless steel or with a black finish, in three sizes, and they are portable, so the same fire pit can move from the deck to the beach or the campsite.
A smokeless fire pit works by controlling airflow. Air is drawn in low down to feed the fire, and air heated inside the walls rises and is released near the top of the fire, where it helps burn off much of the smoke before it escapes. The result is a hotter, cleaner burn that leaves less ash and lets everyone sit closer to the fire.
Choosing a size
The standard Wizard Smokeless Fire Pit is the one for backyard gatherings and groups, with room for larger pieces of wood and plenty of heat. The Small fire pit is easier to carry and suits smaller groups and camping, and the Mini is compact enough for a small courtyard, a picnic or the back of a car.
All three burn wood, and dry, seasoned hardwood with a low moisture content gives the cleanest, most smoke-free fire. The stainless steel versions keep a bright finish, while the black finish suits a modern deck or outdoor living area.
Accessories and Wizard at Land & Sea
Wizard accessories make the fire pit more useful and help it last. A heat proof mat protects decks and grass, a lid covers the fire pit when it is not in use, a weatherproof cover protects it between uses, a foldable grill turns it into a cooker, and a carry bag makes it easy to transport. The essentials bundles pair a fire pit with key accessories in one buy.
Always check local fire restrictions before lighting any fire outdoors, and never leave a fire unattended.
Frequently asked questions about Wizard
How does a Wizard smokeless fire pit work?
A smokeless fire pit controls airflow so wood burns more completely. Air drawn in at the base feeds the fire, while air heated inside the walls rises and is released near the top of the fire, where it helps burn off much of the smoke before it escapes. With dry, well-seasoned wood, the result is a hot, bright fire with far less smoke and ash than a traditional fire pit, so you can sit closer comfortably.
What wood should I burn in a Wizard smokeless fire pit?
Use dry, seasoned hardwood with a low moisture content. Wet or green wood produces more smoke and less heat, because energy is used to boil off the water. Split the wood to a size that fits the fire pit, start with kindling and smaller pieces to get a strong flame going, then add larger pieces. Avoid treated timber, painted wood and rubbish, which can release harmful fumes.
Which Wizard fire pit size should I choose?
Choose by how many people you want to warm and how often you will move it. The standard Wizard Smokeless Fire Pit suits backyard gatherings and larger groups. The Small fire pit is easier to carry and suits smaller groups and camping. The Mini is compact and light, ideal for small spaces, picnics and taking in the car. If you mainly use it at home, the larger size gives you the most heat.
Can I use a Wizard fire pit on a deck or grass?
A fire pit gets very hot underneath, so protect the surface it sits on. Wizard makes a heat proof mat designed to sit under the fire pit and shield decks, pavers and grass from heat and falling embers. Keep the fire pit well away from walls, overhanging branches and anything flammable, never leave it unattended, and always check local fire restrictions before lighting a fire.
Can you cook on a Wizard smokeless fire pit?
Yes. With the Wizard foldable grill fitted over the fire pit, you can grill sausages, steaks, vegetables and skewers over the flames. Let the fire burn down a little first so you are cooking over steady heat rather than tall flames. It turns the fire pit into a simple campfire cooker for the backyard, the beach or the campsite, and a carry bag makes it easy to take with you.
How do I clean a Wizard smokeless fire pit?
Let the fire pit cool completely, then tip out the ash, which is easy because a smokeless fire burns cleanly and leaves little behind. Wipe the outside with a soft cloth, and for stainless steel models use a stainless cleaner to restore the shine. Some discolouration on stainless steel from heat is normal. Store it dry under a weatherproof cover between uses to keep it looking good.
