Smokeless Technology
Like other smokeless fire pits, the Blackstone fire pits achieve a smokeless fire through venting. There are vents in the bottom of the fire pit to encourage a complete combustion of the fire.
The fire pits are also dual walled, so air is pulled in through the bottom of the fire pit, heated inside the walls, then fed into the top of the fire. This makes combustion of the fire easier and give the dual burn effect through the vent holes in the top.
