Frequently Asked Questions ?

1. Are smokeless fire pits safe for use in small gardens or on patios?
Yes, smokeless fire pits are generally safer for confined spaces than traditional models because they emit less smoke and fewer sparks. However, always ensure adequate ventilation and follow safety guidelines regarding clearance and surface placement.

2. Do smokeless fire pits produce any smoke at all?
They produce very minimal smoke — typically only at ignition or if using damp wood. Once burning properly, they’re virtually smoke-free, making them ideal for comfortable, clean outdoor gatherings.

3. Can I use regular firewood, or do I need special fuel?
You can use standard seasoned hardwoods, which are readily available and cost-effective. For an even cleaner burn, you may opt for wood pellets, which are specifically designed for efficient combustion in some smokeless fire pit models.

4. Do smokeless fire pits require much maintenance?
Not at all. Thanks to cleaner combustion, there's significantly less ash and residue to clean. A quick brush-out after use and occasional wipe-down is typically all that’s needed to keep it in good condition.

5. Are smokeless fire pits worth the investment?
Absolutely. While the initial cost may be higher than traditional fire pits, you’ll save money over time by using less wood, avoiding costly clean-ups, and protecting your outdoor furniture and clothing from smoke damage.

6. What size fire pit should I choose for my garden?
It depends on your space and how you plan to use it. Mini fire pits are ideal for patios and smaller outdoor areas, offering warmth without taking up too much room. Medium-sized models suit most gardens and are great for family use or casual gatherings. If you have a larger space or love entertaining, a Jumbo fire pit makes a stunning centrepiece with plenty of heat for guests.

7. Do you offer delivery and installation?
We offer convenient delivery services across New Zealand and all of our fire pits are easy to set up by the user. 

8. Will a smokeless fire pit damage my patio or decking?
Not if used correctly. We recommend placing it on a heat-resistant surface or using a stand to protect decking and paving. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for safe placement.

9. Can I leave my fire pit outside year-round?
Yes, if you use a protective cover. Our fire pits are built with durable, weather-resistant materials. However, covering or storing it during extreme weather will extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best.
