Why We Love This Deal
Great fire pits may seem simple on the surface, but that’s before the outdoor fire wizardry of BioLite gets involved. BioLite’s gear has popped up everywhere, from our testing of camping stoves to top portable power stations, and that mix is of no incidence; the company really does look at outdoor gear and says, “That needs a USB port.”
This matters right now, particularly, because the BioLite FirePit+—the brand’s smokeless fire pit, grill, and overall beauty of a device—is now marked down to $300 as part of its Labor Day Sale. The sale, which also includes the first-ever markdown of the Dash 450 Headlamp as well as a great deal on the camp stove and power station mentioned above, marks a wonderful time to tech up your outdoor entertainment game.

This is no ordinary fire pit. BioLite’s take on the traditional fire pit is a compact loaf that’s movable, weighs about 20 pounds, and does more than just host burning wood. A USB pack to the side controls fans that increase airflow into the fire, giving a way to control the fire’s power. This makes fires last up to 30 hours, depending on the selected speed.
While a grate can be placed on top (and charcoal placed within) to make a mini grill, the fire pit is perhaps best when it’s just being sat around. The view is astounding as there is an “X-Ray” view of the full fire, and sitting next to it is ultra comfortable due to the absence of smoke and the large side holes for better heat diffusion.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers always find the fan an interesting addition, “Love the fan, keeps the smoke at bay. The handles stay cool, so if you have to move it, it’s possible.”
Other shoppers chimed in to brag about their cooking. “We love it! It has been great to cook hot dogs, s’mores, and Jiffy Pop so far. Easy to keep clean and move from campsite to campsite.”
The BioLite FirePit+ is marked down to $300 while this deal is active. Just be sure to get yours before the sale ends on Sept. 1.
