EAST OAK Fire Pit 17''

This stainless smokeless outdoor fire pit is being sold by the brand east oak. At the time of this review, it is priced at 215 dollars with 211 ratings averaging at 5 stars on Amazon. It is made with 304 stainless steel and is a 3 part unit consisting of the 21 inch pan stove, a flame ring, and a removable ash tray. It also includes a long tool with a wood handle that operates as a fire poker and is used to remove the ash tray. Product Con’s: Other than the change in coloration of the stainless steel after repeated usage (which I expected and occurs with all stainless fire pits), I have not found a single con with this product to date! Product Pro’s: The price for this pit is extremely reasonable when compared to similar products. It produces a tremendous amount of heat that radiates a full 360 degrees. The heat can be from several feet away. It was felt level with the top of the fire ring and up and extends to the surrounding area in a mushroom cap like dome of heat. It did an excellent job burning off excess smoke. Upon the initial lighting of the fire or when a new batch of wood is added are the only times the smoke is apparent. Once the fire pit is heated or the new batch begins to burn thoroughly, the smoke is hardly noticeable. It cools faster than expected after a full burn and the ash cleanup could not be made easier, making this fire pit highly portable. The overall quality and product features are amazing. The built in stands and added vent holes at the base not only protect what’s underneath from heat damage, but I found that it allowed the fire to breath better, producing high heat and a steady burn. I could not be more impressed with this fire pit, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and easy fire at home, camping, on RV trips, while tailgating, and at any party or outdoor gathering where I assure you, this fire pit will make all the difference!
