Blue Sky Outdoor Living Ridge Portable Fire Pit, Portable Smokeless Fire Pit with Carrying Bag, Black

This is a great little fire pit. It's portable, comes in its own bag and can be used to have a fire in a few different ways. We enjoy a small fire and a nightcap at the end of the evening. If you fill the pit to the fill line and start the fire with a fire starter you will have a hot, smoke free fire for 30 minutes followed by a gradual decline until the fire completely out at around an hour. You can extend this time by adding more pellets to the fire but be careful to only add a solo cup of pellets at a time or you run the risk of smoking everything out. You can also add firewood as the only fuel or as an additional fuel to the fire. Remember to keep it within the kettle or it will smoke. I purchased a 40 lb. bag of wood pellets from Home Depot for about $16 and got 8 fires out of it. This is much more affordable for the fires we have than purchasing firewood. And it is more portable. 20 lbs. of pellet fit in a 5 gallon container. I recommend to putting about half the recommended pellets in the pit to start the fire and try to leave the center with fewer pellets to help with the airflow until the fire gets started. It is not stainless steel. It tends to have a little surface rust and of course the soot gets everywhere but I think it is easy to wash off. I am confident with care this will last for many years. I recommend this for anyone who wants the affordable portability of a fire ring and is happy with a warm fire that will burn for more than half an hour without any attending. If you follow the directions and fill it to the fill line you will have a nice hot fire for about 30 minutes and by the hour the only thing left is a few embers. It is perfect for us. I did play around with it and you can sustain the fire by adding additional pellets. Only load the pellets about a solo cup at a time or you run the risk of smoking everything out until the fire

Blue Sky Ridge Fire Pit is small but mighty. My husband and I own a propane fire table, which it great. And we also have a log burning kettle style fire pit, which is good but is messy and once it gets going lasts way too long and you feel for all the effort you need a few people over to enjoy it. SO, I wanted something small, easy to start and would burn for about an hour. This little pit puts out a lot of heat! The first time we used it we liked it so much we lit two separate fires in one night. The flames progression is really interesting also and is pretty much smoke free and not much ash to dump. Make sure you have it on concrete or brick the base gets really hot! When this one wears out we will definitely get another one.

I am happy with the size and weight. Its really easy to carry and set up, I would not "hike" anywhere with it. Lighting is pretty easy. I do use a little starter fluid and sometimes a wood block. Works best with pellets. It goes through pellet pretty quick. It can burn other fuels as well. It can be smokey, VERY SMOKEY, as the fuel near completion. Stirring it or just putting it out solves it usually.

Short review: If you are looking for a smokeless portable fire pit, this is it. Small and mighty, it's exactly what I needed. Long review: I had been intrigued by the Solo brand for a while, but have always hated moving a big firepit around or leaving it out all winter, only to rust and fall apart. So, dropping a bunch of money on a firepit was a tough pill to swallow. I did see that Solo makes a "portable" model but it still looks huge, bulky, and cost over $200! Then I found this little guy. It's perfect, packs down small so I can use it at home, camping, or just about anywhere and it doesn't take up a ton of space. The other issue I've had with fires is the amount of effort to start and maintain the fire, then to have to babysit it for hours. Now I can throw a couple cups of pellets in this thing and get about a 30 min fire with ease. Enjoy a fire and a drink, then done. So simple! If you read the reviews, like I did, some people have issues, but some of the complaints are positives for me. Personally I'm extremely happy with this fire pit, checked all the boxes and then some.

I know a lot of people look at the size of this fire pit and think it’s not big enough and put out enough heat for a group of people. We just had a block party where we had over 10 people around the fire pit and it was enough heat to keep everyone warm, and a nice cold night. The smokeless feature of this fire pit is something that I fully don’t understand but it is amazing. When you first start the fire, there is some smoke due to the paper or starting equipment use for the fire but once the fire is going, it is amazing. It does still keep the bugs away during this horrible summer of Bugs . We bought multiple of these as Christmas gifts cause the prices just amazing.

This firepit is all that is advertised. It does smoke some as the new wood or pellets firs up but it quickly stops smoking as the flames catch on. As long as you keep the flames going the smoke will be minimal as the new wood lights up. It probably needs some instructions to use since what is included with the pit is not useful or sufficient. It is advertised as a smokless pellet fire pit so if you use pellets fill only a 1/2" layer to start. Starting gel is best to get the fire going. If you use too much pellets to avoid refilling continuously the fire will get high, about 2 ft above the top of the pit and might burn the paint on the top of it as one of the reviews states. But if you take it gradually the pit works well. You have to keep feeding the fuel so before the flame goes out put a handful or two of pellets in the center and the fire will keep going. It will smoke some as the new pellets or log starts. You can throw a log but you have to split the regular size logs so they fit inside the pit if you want a controlled fire in a small place. If you continue feeding a log or one or two handful of pellets before the fire goes out, the pit will keep the fire going without issue. If you want a hotter fire double the logs or the handfuls of pellets in the center of the pit before the fire goes out but be sure to be in an open space. I used hardwood pellets and fir logs and both worked really well as long as you keep the amount of pellets or logs controlled. You have to keep in mind that if you are using it in Small place like a small back yard, keep the amount of refill pellets to less that 2 handfulls or one log.

I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift. We love it! It makes a small, gorgeous fire that creates a lot of heat and enjoyment. We use it right on our driveway. We have a larger "real" firepit that we will still use when we want to spend an evening around the fire, but sometimes we just want to enjoy a short time outside without gathering wood or staying by the fire until it dies down. We love that we don't have to commit to a big fire or a long processes of getting a fire started. Get the gel starter , it works best. and you can have a fire blazing within 5 minutes. We use the pine pellets (meant for horse stalls) from our local farm store and they work great. A batch of pellets to the line will burn for about 30 - 45 mins, but we can add in scoops of pellets to add time as we like. We are so pleased with this fire pit. It is so much fun!

I was looking for a Solo-like campfire pit as a gift for my daughter and found the BlueSky product. It is the same size as the other brand for almost half the cost. Plus it compacts down and comes with a carry bag. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the paint on the outside of the fire pit peeled off in large patches after the first burn. It was obvious the metal had not been primed properly because the paint peeled down to the bare metal. I called to see if the paint peeling was a warrantied item and was told it is not. Oh well, the fire pit works really well and in time I will refinish it with high-temp paint. As you can see in the photos this fire pit works great. It only smokes for a few minutes when it is starting up. To start the fire pit I add four heaping 16 oz Red SOLO cups of pellets. Then I squirt some lighter fluid on top of the pellets and lite it up. It takes about five minutes for the fire to completely stop smoking and look like the fire in the photo. To keep the fire going, I keep a bucket of pellets next to my chair. As the fire burns down I dump another cup full of pellets into the fire pit. I will try to dump the pellets in a spot that is next to the most flame but not on top of the flame. It will smoke for a minute but then the fire stabilizes again into a nice smokefree fire. I like this fire pit so much I bought one for myself and will mod it so I can fit a propane burner in it. That way I can use it in areas with a wood fire burn ban.

The fire pit is easy to use and the fire became smokelss very quickly. Start the fire with fire pellets and you can add fire woods as the fire build up (just the way I use it).

Well made, well priced and portable. Smokeless when used as intended and environmentally friendly with very little ash and no ground damage. Ideal for the RV'er.

とても使いやすく、耐久性も有って とても気に入っています。

Great little portable firepit! Generates heaps of heat, tucks away nicely when your done. Mine had a few imperfections in the powder coat but it’s not the end of world. Just don’t put wood pellets on when it’s just hot coals as it smokes like your house is on fire!
