EAST OAK Camber Smokeless Fire Pit 17'', Stainless Steel Fire Pits for Outside Wood Burning Portable Small Fire Pit with Poker, Stand & Removable Ash Pan Bonfire Pit for Patio, Pitch Charcoal

There are so many of these stainless steel fire pits for sale. It is hard to know which one to buy. I got the East Oak Camber. I’m glad I did.In looking at the products I learned that one thing that sets them apart is the type of stainless steel that is used. Looking at the reviews of many of the cheaper models, I saw complaints that they rusted out. I didn’t think stainless steel rusted. So I did a little digging. I learned there are different grades of stainless steel. Some are not really meant to be exposed to the weather. I learned that grade 304 is the type of stainless steel I wanted to make sure the fire pit wouldn’t rot.Camber advertises this grade of steel. That’s why I bought it. It also looks a little different than the many solo stove clones. I like how it looks.I used wood pellets to start it. I added logs once the fire got going. It’s very easy. And the results are impressive.The flames are hypnotic. I love seeing the secondary combustion flames shoot from the holes. It throws off a lot of heat too. It really sets the mood for a gathering of friends and family around the fire. The kids made smores. They loved it.Cleanup is pretty easy thanks to the removable ash pan. The fire burns so intensely that not much debris is left. One knock is that some particles fell below the ash pan because it tilted when I removed it. It’s hard to get those out.Still, I am satisfied with my choice. I had never heard of East Oak before buying this, but I am interested in their other products now. This one was thoughtfully designed and made from good quality materials.

I was super impressed by the East Oak fire pit! As a 63 year old, I get skeptical about online reviews. I’ve had cheaper fire pits that rust out and my wife has allergies that makes it hard for her to enjoy smokey fire pits, so I rolled the dice and went with the 29” East Oak and it’s well worth the money, very little smoke, looks great, burns really well and easy to clean out. Unfortunately after inspecting the wooden handle ( real wood) on the fire hook, I noticed it had a split in the wood. I contacted customer service and they immediately sent me a replacement with zero hassle! I don’t have the luxury of a second home, but if I did, I would order another one!

This fire pit is exactly what I had hoped for. It does everything a solo stove does, but has the finish and design I was looking for in the right size.

This is an excellent fire pit so far. It came quickly and well packaged. I've used it a few times already. Lighting it is a breeze and the fires stay lit with plenty of airflow. The first few minutes will still have plenty of smoke, but once it gets hot, it really is nearly smokeless. If you start to see smoke again, it probably means it's time for another log. The fire burns extremely hot - you'll go through wood a bit faster because of this. The sides do get hot, so don't touch. Most of the heat is directed upward, but it still kept our legs warm. If your feet are on the ground, they may not get any heat. Overall, this has been a great purchase. Quality is every bit as good as Solo and it has some additional features like easier cleaning to go along with the lower price.

We have had this fire pit for a few months and have done a couple of fires and we like it so far! While it is not completely smokeless, there is a lot less smoke than an open pit or the cheaper fire pit on wheels that we previously had.So far, there are no signs of rust and it is super easy to clean out the ash due to the removable bottom tray.Getting a fire started in it is super easy with some newspaper or shipping paper. Keeping the fire going is equally as easy.Overall, we like this fire pit and are looking forward to being able to use it for years to come.

As all of these smokeless fire pits the flame and heat goes straight up and there's very little radiant heat from the sides while sitting. This is more of a fire to watch and not feel....unless standing next to it, then you'll feel extreme heat. I read a review that said east oak gives heat from the sides too....that's bull. Not happening. My guests were inching closer to the pit in hopes to get warmth and failed. There seems to be black smoke that smells like hot metal or fuel....I hope this dissipates. The fire is HOT, the coals are HOT but it goes up to the heavens and away from those wanting warmth. Made well, looks nice, delivered fast. It's good for ambiance on a warm summer eve....not for the cold days. UPDATE: I can't express how amazed I am with customer service. They really listen to the customer and want to deliver a quality product....and this they do very very well. The stove is made exceptionally well and exceeds the price point. I get a lot of compliments on the stoves quality and interesting shape. Issues with the black smoke seems to have gone. After communications with East Oak I learned heat from the sides will be diminished on windy days....and this is true. So, the heat does not always go up to the heavens. ;)

I had no idea that these would be so easy to use, and certainly not as efficient use of fuel. One of the attached photos attempts to demonstrate the superior design of the "re-burn" of the gases that typically rise up as "smoke"Impressive. We love this fire pit and we look for reasons to light it up and enjoy the views where it is situated. We use it frequently for cooking shrimp on the barbie, and just a nice place to enjoy a good bourbon.After about 6 months we had an issue with the poker handle spinning on the shaft. This crippled the poker for its job of moving the firewood around where it needed to be. One call (direct to a human) to customer service and a replacement was sent right away at no charge.Initially when the poker started to fail I sought to buy a replacement. I couldn't find anything close to this superior design. Nothing. One call fixed it all.I would not hesitate to buy another.
