Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 vs Breeo X Series 24: Two Smokeless Fire Pits, Side by Side

One is a 23-pound stainless drum you carry to the beach. The other is a 62-pound Corten ring built in Pennsylvania to stay where you put it. Their makers' own published figures, on one page.

Both makers call their pit smokeless. Both make a wood fire draw air through a double wall so the smoke burns a second time before it leaves. From there the two designs part ways, and the differences show up in the numbers each maker publishes.

On October 22, 2026, we read the makers' own product pages and set the figures side by side. We didn't burn either pit, and no lab-measured smoke figure for either was published anywhere we could read. Where the two makers' own pages disagree with each other, both figures are printed.

Figures from the makers' own pages, read October 22, 2026. A ^ marks the one we'd choose on that row. "Not published" = not on the page we read.

Two ideas of a smokeless fire

Solo Stove's words: a "patented smokeless design and Signature 360° Airflow system" that pulls air up through the double wall to feed "a secondary burn," and a fire "burning up to 400° hotter than a standard fire."1 The same page says a little start-up smoke is normal and clears once the fire gets going.1

Breeo's words: "double wall construction and secondary combustion holes allow for a smokeless burn." The same page adds, in plain sight, that the maker can't guarantee the pit will never produce smoke.2 We like a maker that writes that down.

Both claims are the maker's. We found no instrument-measured smoke figure for either pit on any page we could read in full, so this page doesn't rank them on smoke.

Size and weight

The Bonfire is 19.5 inches across and 23.3 pounds on the stand-bundle page, or 25 pounds on the bundle page with the lid; Solo Stove's own pages give two heights too, 14.3 and 16.9 inches.1 One person lifts it into a trunk.

The X24 is 27.5 inches across on the outside, 23.5 inside, 14.75 inches tall, and 62 pounds in Corten steel.2 Two people carry it once, to the spot it will live. Its inside is four inches wider than the Bonfire's whole drum, which is why Breeo recommends 16- to 18-inch logs where Solo Stove says three to four logs.1^,2

On a deck

Both makers say the same thing in different words: not on wood without the accessory. Solo Stove: "Wooden deck? That's a no-go unless you're using our Fire Pit Stand," and "all our fire pits are designed to burn with a Solo Stove Stand."1 Breeo sells the Base for it: "Burn on a deck, patio, even wood chips, without worrying what's underneath."2

The Solo Stove stand comes in the $299.99 bundle. The Breeo Base is $299 on its own.1^,2 Count it into the price if your fire pit lives on a deck.

Warranty, and where it's made

Solo Stove: a lifetime warranty, with a defective product replaced at the maker's discretion.1 Breeo: a limited lifetime warranty and a 30-day return policy.2

Breeo prints "built in Lancaster, PA" on the product page.2 Solo Stove's pages we read don't state a country of manufacture.1

Price, on the day we read it

Solo Stove sold the Bonfire 2.0 with the stand for $299.99 and with the stand and lid for $429.99 on October 22, 2026. The pit alone wasn't priced on the pages we could read.1

Breeo's X Series page shows "From $399" for the series and prices the larger X30 at $1,399. The X24 itself carried no price on the maker's page that day; retailers listed it at $599.99 in Corten and $799.99 in stainless.2^,3

What you add later

Breeo publishes its accessory prices: the X Series lid $249, the Base $299, the Outpost grill $239, and the heat deflector listed at $200 on one page and $439 on another.2 Solo Stove prices its Chiminea Topper at $179.99; its lid, shield and heat deflector are named on the pages we read without a price.1

Read the accessory list as part of the pit. A Breeo with lid, base and grill is a cooking station near $1,400 at retail prices. A Bonfire with the stand and lid is a $430 fire you can move.

Which one for which yard

This part is our opinion, from the figures above.

The Bonfire 2.0 for a family that moves its fire: deck one night, beach the next. It's the lighter pit by about 40 pounds, the only one with a stand in the box, and the cheaper one by any reading of the prices.

The X Series 24 for a yard with one place for a fire and a cook who wants a grill on it. It's wider inside, heavier, built in Pennsylvania, and the one whose maker publishes every accessory price.

Questions

Which one makes less smoke?

Neither maker publishes a measured figure, and we found none we could read in full. Both describe the same mechanism: a double wall that feeds air to a second burn.1^,2 Both say dry wood matters more than the pit.

Can I put either one on a composite deck?

Each maker says to use its own stand or base on a deck, and neither gives a clearance distance on the pages we read.1^,2 Check the deck maker's heat guidance too.

Why does Solo Stove give two heights?

Two of the maker's own pages give 14.3 and 16.9 inches, and 23.3 and 25 pounds. The larger figures may include the stand or the lid. We print both until the maker's spec table settles it.1

Are they on Amazon?

Yes. Solo Stove sells the Bonfire 2.0 through Amazon, and Breeo's listing says "ships from and sold by Breeo."4^,5
