Does My DIY Smokeless Fire Pit Really Work? Truth Revealed!

  • I made a DIY smokeless fire pit that works amazing! Did I mess up though? I'll let you know what I would do differently and answer some of your questions. I've been making improvements to my fire pit area like adding patio lights and planters. I hope you find these backyard projects helpful. I felt I needed to make another video about the smokeless fire pit to address some questions and even some accusatory statements. I would definitely use a smaller ring if you only make small fires. To get the full smokeless effect the walls need to hot and if you build a small fire in a big ring it won't get hot enough. Thanks for all the kind comments and thanks for watching!

    I'm trained in prescribed prairie burns where smoke management is a huge issue/concern, and one thing we learn is that smoke is due to a lack of total fuel consumption, which is the reason why a candle only smokes when you blow it out, so the idea of creating a more intense fire through air flow is genius, and the reason why it makes it better! great video, I am now a subscriber if for nothing else the many chuckles you gave me today!

My one teen daughter won't sit around the fire because of the smoke. I don't want to pay for the fancy schmancy ones I see advertised. I am a widow and my dear hubby passed away before he could form and pour an integrated fire pit into the patio for me and our teens. Now I know I just need to drill the holes into the galvanized ring, and am pretty sure I can find a hole making drill bit in his stuff. But knowing I don't need to make forms and mix and pour my own bag mix makes this even more doable! (His brother took the mixer from me) Just need to get the 8" pavers and 11" tops . Thank you!!!!

    Don't know if you'll see this, but if you are still able to take out the stock tank ring, then using smaller holes (1/2") will provide more air pressure that will force the air to flow faster. In addition, if you put ~8 holes evenly around the bottom portion, about 1 1/2" up it'll help the airflow as well

    • @scottwillis5434

    Awesome video man! Going to go this route for my build. From what I have seen, I dont think the gap method would work as well, the goal is to get the air to push into the ring as far as possible, so more gaps around the bottom like you said, plus may even drilling more and smaller holes at the top. Going to give that a try, but great results!

    Suggestions to improve your system...to turn it into a fierce jet turbine combustion chamber. Drill 1/2 " holes around the bottom of the ring about 2" from the bottom & space them two inches apart. That will supply the main feed the fire needs at the bottom. The holes are small enough not to interfere with the secondary burn airfeeds that are at the top. Spraying the galvanized with the highest rated paint (2,000 ° F) is important to keep from burning off the coating elements which usually consist of cadmium, lead, & zinc...all poisonous gases that are released in very small breathable particulars. Yes, by sitting at a reasonable distance from the fire, you have minimal chances of breathing them (unless a strong gust comes by and blows them into some of the people). But more importantly, why pollute the air on general when you can avoid it with the protective high temperature paint. The black paint would also absorb the fire's heat faster (the silver which has more of a reflecting quality), thus accelerating the performance which heats & pulls up the secondary burn air. All of these are little things, but they all are positive effects in what you are trying to accomplish. And if you want to fine tune the as little as possible smoke from the initial startup, you need to build a criss cross pile with your bigger logs at the bottom, then gradually reduce the diameter of the pieces until you have tiny twigs on the top. Then you can use crumpled paper balls at the top. You will reduce the initial startup smoke by 90 %. You will also create the quickest, hottest fire because as the fire burns the coals that firm at the top will collapse on the pile and progressively ignite the bigger lower wood pieces. This called a "descending coal bed", & it is the method I have taught my customers for 42 years in my chimney sweep business (approximately 45K people). The other little tidbit that will make a world of difference is to constantly maintain an inch of ash on the "floor" of your pit. That is all you need to produce a 50% hotter combustion atmosphere as the ash serves as a very efficient reflector. And a deeper ash bottom just clogs the air flow of the main feed from the two inch high bottom holes that your system desperately needs to "breathe"! ( Ever wonder why glass doors for fireplace have vents on the bottom three inches of the surround base? Because, studies have shown that that is where 99% of the combustion air comes from. On one last amusing historical note...when the wagon train pioneers were crossing the plains & they stop to cook food, they quickly learned that the hostile indians were able to locate them from the smoke from their campfires. They became aware that most of the smoke came from startup. They figured out that the top burn method (as I mentioned) greatly reduced (by 90%)the startup smoke, significantly reducing their chances of being located by the hostiles. Revamp your ring with the multitude of smaller bottom holes & you'll be amazed at the increase if performance at all levels...startup, addition of wood, & a complete final burn down with no smouldering pieces left...and you'll have WHITE ash, instead of gray...a sign of hotter, more complete combustion.

      Hey Mike, I am still wondering how the fire place would perform without any metal ring, only with some stones removed from the bottom of the fire pit to fuel air into the fire.
      Especially if you know how to start a fire, i.e. with your "descending coal bed" method, wouldnt that make the ring kind of obsolete?

    • @michaelemerick4764
      @michaelemerick4764 Pƙed 3 lety +4

      @@Wuestentropf The metal ring is still needed to provide that thin space to create a channel which will heat up the air quickly & accelerate it so the secondary burn will work. The reason the "channel" air is actually pulled into the pit is a rudimentary version of the venturi effect...which states that a column of air that is moving quickly over the end of an open cylinder, it lowers the pressure in the column. Think of each hole at the top as a very crude tube. As the higher speed of the main fires gases flow past the holes, the venturi effect is working. Viola! Efficient secondary combustion...and a more complete conversion of the volatile energy in the exiting gases. đŸ‘đŸŽ©
