Solar Smokeless Fire Pit: a 42-inch square concrete pit that burns wood with far less smoke
The Outdoor Plus Solar smokeless wood burning fire pit burns real logs with a fraction of the usual smoke. Its low, smooth 42-inch square body comes in 18 colors. Glass-fiber concrete (GFRC) looks like solid stone at a fraction of the weight. A square metal firebox sits inside the top. Air heated between its double walls burns off smoke before it reaches guests.
It needs dry firewood, not a gas line, tank, or wiring. Choose a Corten steel or stainless steel insert; decorative burner ornaments are optional. Prefer its round concrete sibling, the Artemis smokeless fire pit? The Solar smokeless fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How does the Solar burn wood without the smoke?
Airflow engineering. The Solar pairs a GFRC concrete body with a double-wall metal insert: air heats inside the walls and jets back over the fire, re-burning the smoke before it escapes. You get real logs, real crackle, and dramatically clearer air around the seating — the whole point of a smokeless design.
What is it made of, exactly?
Two materials doing two jobs: a cast GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete) shell for looks and durability, and a metal combustion chamber insert that takes the actual fire. The Solar is a 42-inch unit, SKU TFL-SLR42CSWB, and the concrete comes in 18 finish colors from Ash to Vanilla.
How do I start a fire in it?
Like any good wood fire, only easier: dry hardwood stacked loosely in the Solar insert, kindling and a starter beneath, light from the top or bottom and let the airflow system do the coaxing. Dry, seasoned wood is the secret — damp logs smoke no matter the engineering.
What do I do with the ashes?
Let them go fully cold in the Solar — overnight at minimum — then shovel into a metal can with a lid, never plastic, and never straight into the trash while warm. Cold ash is happily useful: compost, garden soil, or icy-path grit all take it.
How do I put a wood fire out properly?
Stop feeding it early and let it burn down — the Solar efficient draft consumes logs thoroughly. Spread remaining coals, douse gradually with water, stir, and douse again until everything hisses cold. Never leave it smoldering unattended; wood fire does not have an off valve.
How far from the house does a wood burner need to be?
Give the Solar more margin than a gas unit — ten feet minimum from structures and overhangs, more where local code says so. It is a real wood fire: sparks and embers exist even with smokeless airflow, so site it clear of fences, branches, and anything combustible.
Will the smokeless Solar still throw sparks?
No — smokeless refers to the smoke, not the physics. The Solar throws fewer stray embers than an open ring thanks to its contained metal chamber, but popping logs still spark, so keep a screen-of-distance around children and never burn under cover.
