Fire is one of our oldest tools. The glow, the warmth, the smell, it hits on something inside all of us. We love to be around it, yet it always seems to come with this annoying sidekick – smoke.
At BioLite, we’ve been cleaning up wood fires all over the world for over five years. This time around, we’ve got our sights set on the fire in your backyard with the BioLite FirePit, a smokeless wood-burning device that cooks your meals and gives you a front-row seat to everything going on inside your fire.
1. USB Rechargeable Powerpack
12,800 mAh pack can power your fire for up to 30 hours on a single charge. Detach and recharge easily via USB.
2. Air Jets Improve Combustion
51 airjets inject the fire with oxygen along key locations. This creates a more uniform temperature and mixing of gases inside the fire which dramatically improves combustion.
3. Folding Legs
Makes portability a snap. Combined with the Solar Carry Cover (sold separately), you're ready to go from the backyard to the beach in no time.
4. Grill Grate
Cook hibachi-style meals using the removeable grill grate. Fuel rack adjusts to accommodate two types of fuel - wood or charcoal.
5. X-Ray Mesh
The 360° viewing lets you see it all: glowing embers at the bottom, the gasifying wood in the middle, and the flames coming out at the top.
6. Bluetooth Integration
You can control that fan intensity right from the FirePit's powerpack or from your hand with the free BioLite Energy App for Android and iOS.
Way less Smoke
Get an efficient burn with way less smoke than a conventional fire pit
When you see smoke coming off of a typical campfire or firepit, that’s unburnt fuel; particulate matter that could have been combusted inside of the fire, but instead it’s getting on your clothes, in your hair, and more importantly, in your lungs (that’s why so many of us get a headache about an hour or two after sitting around a campfire). Think about it this way: if you saw a car driving down the street with a bunch of smoke coming out of its tailpipe you’d think that’s a badly tuned car. Well guess what, smoky fires are badly tuned fires.

Air Injection System
Across the body of the FirePit we’ve got 51 airjets that inject the fire with oxygen along key locations thanks to the fan located inside the USB-rechargeable orange power pack. This creates a more uniform temperature and mixing of gases inside the fire which dramatically improves combustion.
This means two important things: 1) You get the crackling, the smell, and the feel of a robust wood fire but WITHOUT the smoke and 2) You can actually achieve a warm, roaring fire with LESS wood because you’re burning your original fuel more efficiently.
The airflow system has 4 fan speeds to control the intensity of your flames. If you want a mellow campfire feel, you tune it to LOW. If you want a powerful fire that radiates a lot of heat outward, crank it up to HIGH.
Cook with dual fuel
Burn charcoal or wood embers for a hibachi-style grilling experience
Cooking and campfires both require thermal energy so we combined them into a single device with the FirePit: the inner fuel rack can accommodate both charcoal and wood so you can start your day on a hibachi-style grill and end it with the perfect bonfire.
Hot Tip: when you start with charcoal, the leftover embers double as the perfect Firestarter for your campfire – just toss in a piece of firewood when you’re done cooking and watch it catch, no additional firestarting needed.
Bluetooth Integration

What is the difference between FirePit and FirePit+?
FirePit+ is our newest model and features a larger internal battery (12,800 mAh), enlarged X-Ray Mesh to better radiate heat, and a new high-temp enamel coating on the outside for added durability.
Do you have to use your phone and/or Bluetooth to control FirePit+?
Nope, you can do everything manually via the button located on the side of the usb-rechargeable powerpack. The optional Bluetooth app allows you to control the airflow settings remotely, which comes in handy if you're perfectly bundled around the fire and don't want to get up – but more importantly, it offers precise feedback on how much runtime is left in the battery so you can be in complete control of your clean-burning experience.
Does the FirePit+ create electricity?
Nope. If you are asking this, chances are you're familiar with our CampStove or BaseCamp (if so, welcome back!). Those stoves feature a thermoelectric generator that produces electricity from the heat of the fire. The FirePit does not – and that's on purpose. The FirePit's design is to radiate heat outward, offering the rolling flames of a typical campfire. BaseCamp and CampStove are designed to concentrate flames and heat, making it ideal for thermoelectric conversion. If we put thermoelectrics in the FirePit, you'd get very little electricity relative to the size of the fire and it would cost upwards of $400-$600 – we didn't want to just do tech for tech's sake. The FirePit+ airflow pack detaches easily and with runtimes of up to 30 hours per charge, you can recharge easily at home or from a BioLite SolarPanel or powerbank in between use.
How long can the airflow system run on a single charge?
30 hours on LOW, 14 hours on MEDIUM, 7 hours on MAX. IMPORTANT - MAX doesn't mean biggest flames! If you want to have nice campfire feel with big flames, you actually want the system on the LOW setting: that allows the flames to extend and dance around. MAX setting intensifies the fire by increasing airflow and the effect is that the flames essentially collapse on themselves, creating a furnace-like effect. This is ideal for kickstarting an initial fire (see what we did there) or if you're in really chilly conditions and you're looking to radiate a lot of heat.
What is the ideal size of flames for cooking with FirePit+?
Low-to-moderate flame is ideal for cooking, giving you ideal control for both grilling and griddling. Larger flames may lick around your griddle or pans and present a hazard – we don't recommend it.
How do I clean the FirePit+?
The FirePit+ has a trap door at the bottom that you can use to clean out ash and coal (remember to dispose of those safely and have water nearby!). We recommend using a wide painters brush to get any fine ash out if you want a deeper clean. If you're grilling, you can clean the grate with a standard wire brush you use to clean with other grills.
