When you're camping, using a Bluetooth app on your phone to control the size of your campfire sounds like a joke, right? But the BioLite Fire Pit lets you enjoy the sound, smell and warmth of a traditional campfire with one major exception: There's hardly any smoke.
The fire pit features an integrated fan that injects air into the fire, dramatically improving combustion and nearly eliminating smoke. You no longer have to shuffle around the chairs depending on the direction of the wind. The fire is contained by a see-through mesh, which provides 360-degree views of the flames.
With the firebox sitting on four legs, you get the appearance of a floating fire when viewed in the dark. It holds four pieces of cordwood at a time, and with its efficient burning, you get about twice the amount of heat than you would from a typical campfire.

The rechargeable battery gives you 24 hours of burning on a single charge, and it can also be used to charge your other devices via a USB port. A grill grate allows you to cook over either wood or charcoal — again, without the smoke of a traditional fire.
Using an app from your phone to control the speed of the fan, and thus the heat of the flames, may sound sacrilegious for some outdoor enthusiasts. But as a practical matter, whether at the beach, in the woods, in your backyard, or at a tailgate, the BioLite Fire Pit is a convenient way to enjoy a fire with very little of the traditional drawbacks.
