Best Smokeless Fire Pit Under $100 (2026)

Compare the picks

Specifications are manufacturer rated, collected 25 October 2026. Weights are as listed. One listing leaves weight unstated, and one listing leaves an ash pan unstated.

How we scored them

Each pit is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, using only what the listing publishes. A pit whose listing states no safety feature gets zero for safety, and a pit whose listing states no warranty term gets zero for warranty. The weights are on our How We Pick page.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.

Best smokeless fire pit under 100: buying guide

Size and listed weight

Sizes here run from a 15 in VEVOR to a 20 in ONBRILL, with 19.3 in, 19.5 in and 19.8 in pits in between. Listed weights run from 14.3 lb for the VEVOR to 23.1 lb for the ONBRILL, while the Florise listing states no weight at all. A smaller, lighter pit is easier to move to a campsite, while a larger pit gives a fire more room.

Airflow and smoke

Each listing describes a double-wall or multi-direction airflow design meant to improve combustion and reduce smoke. The HGD listing goes further, claiming its double-wall construction with 360-degree airflow cuts smoke and odors by up to 90 percent. Treat that figure as the maker claim it is: no listing here publishes a smoke measurement method.

Ash pan and cleanup

Four of the 5 listings state a removable or pull-out ash pan: Panovue, VEVOR, HGD and ONBRILL. A pull-out tray means ash can be emptied once the fire has fully cooled, without flipping the pit over. The Florise listing states no ash pan, so cleanup for that pit is unstated.

Carry bag and storage

Panovue, Florise and ONBRILL each include a carry bag, and the Panovue cover doubles as its carry bag. The Panovue listing says to store the assembled pit in a cool, dry location away from children and pets. VEVOR and HGD state no carry bag, so plan on a separate way to move and store those pits.

Grill grate and extras

Only the ONBRILL set includes a grill grate, an 11.4 in removable grate for hot dogs, skewers, steak and other small foods. It also includes a lid, a fire poker, heat-resistant gloves and a lower firewood rack on its raised frame. If cooking over the fire matters, that set covers it in one purchase; the other listings state no grill grate.

Around the Woodpile

• Store an assembled pit in a cool, dry location away from children and pets, as the Panovue listing advises.
• Let the fire go fully cold before sliding out an ash pan, and use the included poker and gloves where the listing supplies them.
• Allow a fire to naturally extinguish, as the VEVOR listing advises, rather than rushing cleanup while ash is still hot.
• Keep logs organized on a rack where one is supplied, and keep the area around the pit clear while a fire is burning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size smokeless fire pit fits a small patio?

A 15 in pit like the VEVOR keeps the footprint small, while 19.3 in to 20 in pits suit a larger patio or backyard. Match the pit to the space you have, and check the listed height too: heights here run from 12.6 in to 24.8 in.

Do smokeless fire pits really make less smoke?

The listings claim they do, through double-wall or multi-direction airflow that improves combustion. The HGD listing claims up to 90 percent less smoke and odor, but no listing publishes a smoke measurement method, so treat that figure as a maker claim.

How do I clean a smokeless fire pit?

Four of the 5 listings state a removable or pull-out ash pan. Once the fire has fully cooled, slide out the tray and empty the ash. The ONBRILL listing adds that the stove should cool for at least one hour after the fire goes out.

Can I cook over a smokeless fire pit under 100?

Only the ONBRILL set in this guide states a grill grate, an 11.4 in removable grate for hot dogs, skewers, steak and other small foods. The other listings state no grill grate, so cooking over them is unstated.

What should I look for in a carry bag?

Panovue, Florise and ONBRILL each include a carry bag, and the Panovue cover doubles as its bag. A bag matters most if the pit will travel to a campsite or move between storage and patio, rather than staying in one spot.
