About Breeo
Breeo traces its roots to 2011, when Andy Kaufman and Jr. Troyer built one of the first smokeless fire pits in Apple Creek, Ohio, under the name Camp King Fire Pits. In 2014 the business relocated and consolidated as Breeo, LLC, headquartered in Kinzers, Pennsylvania, with manufacturing based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Every X Series pit, including the X24 we tested, is built from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel or Corten (weathering) steel, the latter engineered to develop a protective rust-brown patina rather than degrade over time.
Breeo's smokeless design has drawn scrutiny beyond its own marketing: Consumer Reports runs Breeo's X Series pits through its lab-based smokeless fire pit testing program alongside category rivals like Solo Stove, and Tom's Guide named the brand's Live-Fire Grill an Editor's Choice pick, calling it "solidly built, attractive, and versatile." The company has expanded from a single fire-pit design into a full live-fire cooking ecosystem, including grills, sear plates, and a pizza oven, that lets owners cook directly over the fire instead of just sitting around it.

Breeo products we rated highly
Breeo X Series 24 Corten Steel Smokeless Fire Pit
Breeo's patented X Airflow stays smokeless even in gusty conditions where lighter pits start to leak smoke, and the thick-gauge Corten steel develops a protective patina instead of degrading — a buy-it-for-life material choice. Made in the USA with heavy-wall construction, and a deep accessory ecosystem (sear plate, grill grate, lid) turns it into a legitimate outdoor cooker, not just a fire.
