Gathering around a fire with family and friends is a timeless tradition. However, many people shy away from the experience to avoid the smell and irritation of smoke. Enter a beautifully crafted World CopperSmith outdoor smokeless fire pit. Learn how a World CopperSmith smokeless fire pit works and why adding one is an excellent upgrade for your backyard entertaining.
What Is a Smokeless Fire Pit?
Smokeless fire pits provide a modern solution to an age-old problem: campfire smoke. Despite appearances, they are more science than magic. Elegant designs and precision craftsmanship allow our smokeless firepits to provide all the ambiance of a fire without its irritating smoke.
A copper fire pit from World CopperSmith is fire redefined. Sip a glass of wine, curl up with a good book, or catch up with friends without the coughing and dry eyes associated with a traditional fire pit.
Are Smokeless Fire Pits Really Smoke-Free?
Smokeless fire pits are not 100% smoke-free. However, they do come close. With modern engineering, they significantly reduce the amount of smoke released into the surrounding environment. We use double-wall construction and targeted airflow systems to produce fire pits that are cleaner and more enjoyable.
Key Principles of How Smokeless Fire Pits Work
Every design has a unique system for delivering a smokeless fire experience. Still, the key principles of overall firepit design, airflow, and combustion efficiency drive the science of what makes a fire pit smokeless. These principles apply to both wood and gas fire pits. The latter will naturally produce less smoke, even without special design features.
Perhaps the most important feature of smokeless fire pit construction is a double-wall design. There are two chambers: an inner chamber where the fire burns and an outer chamber that circulates air. As air circulates through the outer chamber, it becomes superheated and ignites smoke from the inner chamber, resulting in secondary combustion.
Secondary combustion is the next key principle behind how smokeless fire pits work. Any smoke leaving the initial fire chamber ignites as it hits superheated oxygen from the outer chamber. It burns off the smoke, creating a cleaner and more enjoyable fireside experience. Secondary combustion also means you experience a hotter, more efficient fire— a nice bonus on chilly evenings.
Airflow is the final key in creating smokeless fire pits. Instead of relying on the wind to provide airflow, ventilation channels move air throughout the chambers to feed the secondary combustion. Because of this, you experience a controlled and consistent burn.
What Are the Benefits of a Smokeless Fire Pit?
Installing a smokeless square brass fire pit significantly upgrades your backyard entertaining. Consider the following benefits of your investment:
-
Fewer emissions: Smokeless fire pits are an environmentally friendly way to enjoy outdoor fires.
-
Hotter fires: You and your guests will experience hotter, more efficient fires, allowing you to stretch your entertaining season.
-
Less mess: With minimal smoke leaving the fire pit, you’ll notice less residue and stale smoke smell on your clothing and hair. Plus, a gas fire pit leaves no ashes to clean up after everyone is gone.
Perhaps the most enjoyable benefit you’ll gain from a smokeless fire pit is that every seat around it is the best in the house. There is no need to shift and rearrange furniture to stay out of the smoke plume.
What Fuel Types Work Best in Smokeless Fire Pits?
At World CopperSmith, we specialize in creating attractive and durable gas fire pits to enhance outdoor spaces. Gas burns with less smoke than other types of fuels, making it our preferred choice. It is also safer because there are no embers that can accidentally light nearby furniture, decking, or landscape plants.
Other fuel types used in smokeless fire pits include hardwood logs and wood pellets. Hardwoods, including oak, ash, and hickory, burn cleaner than soft varieties like pine, and produce less smoke and resin. That makes them a good choice for wood-burning fire pits.
Wood pellets are compressed wood fiber and pulp. They are incredibly efficient and produce high heat with little exhaust or smoke.
What Care and Maintenance Does a Smokeless Fire Pit Need?
Our fire pits require very little maintenance. You should wipe down the surfaces to prevent dust and dirt buildup. It is also a good idea to cover them when not in use for prolonged periods. This helps protect the gas units from extreme weather.
