EAST OAK Camber Smokeless Fire Pit 17'', Stainless Steel Fire Pits for Outside Wood Burning Portable Small Fire Pit with Poker, Stand & Removable Ash Pan Bonfire Pit for Patio, Pitch Charcoal

This stainless smokeless outdoor fire pit is being sold by the brand east oak. At the time of this review, it is priced at 215 dollars with 211 ratings averaging at 5 stars on Amazon. It is made with 304 stainless steel and is a 3 part unit consisting of the 21 inch pan stove, a flame ring, and a removable ash tray. It also includes a long tool with a wood handle that operates as a fire poker and is used to remove the ash tray. Product Con’s: Other than the change in coloration of the stainless steel after repeated usage (which I expected and occurs with all stainless fire pits), I have not found a single con with this product to date! Product Pro’s: The price for this pit is extremely reasonable when compared to similar products. It produces a tremendous amount of heat that radiates a full 360 degrees. The heat can be from several feet away. It was felt level with the top of the fire ring and up and extends to the surrounding area in a mushroom cap like dome of heat. It did an excellent job burning off excess smoke. Upon the initial lighting of the fire or when a new batch of wood is added are the only times the smoke is apparent. Once the fire pit is heated or the new batch begins to burn thoroughly, the smoke is hardly noticeable. It cools faster than expected after a full burn and the ash cleanup could not be made easier, making this fire pit highly portable. The overall quality and product features are amazing. The built in stands and added vent holes at the base not only protect what’s underneath from heat damage, but I found that it allowed the fire to breath better, producing high heat and a steady burn. I could not be more impressed with this fire pit, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and easy fire at home, camping, on RV trips, while tailgating, and at any party or outdoor gathering where I assure you, this fire pit will make all the difference!

I’m not one to review every Amazon purchase but I’m so happy with this one that I had to leave a 5 star. I’ve been looking for a compact fire pit for some time. I’ve used some of the other brands, but was never impressed with how boring looking they were. Enter East Oak - they have actually taken the time to make a lot of the details a priority. I really like the shape of this fire pit. It’s different & it looks great with my patio furniture. I was super pleased with how well packaged the whole kit was and even found the box labeling to be pretty cool. All of the panels are pretty thick and everything feels really well made. It’s definitely light enough to carry around, but it feels super solid. I also appreciate how they’ve used a brushed stainless finish on some parts and a polished look on others. It’s very easy to light and the vents on the bottom seem to feed the fire really well. It took no time to get a roaring fire with the spare 2x4s I had on hand. Another thing I really like is how clean everything burns once the fire gets going. The “fire ring” part definitely works to burn off the smoke. Last but not least, clean up was made easy with the included poker tool. You can keep your hands clean and discard the ash easily. Overall I’m super pleased with the fire pit. I can’t think of anything I’d change apart from maybe ordering one size up next time. When I have more space I’ll definitely be looking at some of the other East Oak products.

There are so many of these stainless steel fire pits for sale. It is hard to know which one to buy. I got the East Oak Camber. I’m glad I did. In looking at the products I learned that one thing that sets them apart is the type of stainless steel that is used. Looking at the reviews of many of the cheaper models, I saw complaints that they rusted out. I didn’t think stainless steel rusted. So I did a little digging. I learned there are different grades of stainless steel. Some are not really meant to be exposed to the weather. I learned that grade 304 is the type of stainless steel I wanted to make sure the fire pit wouldn’t rot. Camber advertises this grade of steel. That’s why I bought it. It also looks a little different than the many solo stove clones. I like how it looks. I used wood pellets to start it. I added logs once the fire got going. It’s very easy. And the results are impressive. The flames are hypnotic. I love seeing the secondary combustion flames shoot from the holes. It throws off a lot of heat too. It really sets the mood for a gathering of friends and family around the fire. The kids made smores. They loved it. Cleanup is pretty easy thanks to the removable ash pan. The fire burns so intensely that not much debris is left. One knock is that some particles fell below the ash pan because it tilted when I removed it. It’s hard to get those out. Still, I am satisfied with my choice. I had never heard of East Oak before buying this, but I am interested in their other products now. This one was thoughtfully designed and made from good quality materials.

Nice product. It smokes when first lit but as it heats up, smoke almost completely vanishes. Puts off a lot of heat.

I purchase the stove in December 2022. Although there is a little smoke when starting the fire, it is virtually smokeless when it gets going. It puts out a lot of heat, but because the combustion air intake is in the center of the bottom, the surface it sits on stays cool. I have burned it for hours on my wood deck with no affect to the deck. My only disappointment was that the removable ash pan warped from the heat and became stuck. After nearly a year I decided to email customer service to see if there was any way to fix this. They responded immediately offering to send a new ash pan and ideas on how to get the old one un-stuck. After trying what they suggested, I still could not remove the ash pan. When I told them this, they immediately sent me an entire replacement stove. Looking at the ash pan in the new stove revealed that it was a much improved design that could not get stuck and was also improved in other ways. Now I am enjoying nearly effortless ash removal. With the new design ash pan, the stove certainly deserves 5 stars. However there customer service was so professional and responsive, that they deserve 6 stars.

After first use, the firepit color changed from a beautiful stainless steel to a rose color and fingerprint stains are now visible on the surface. I've contacted East Oak customer service and I am awaiting their reply. Update - 1/5/24: My bad. East Oak contacted me and explained to me that it is normal for the stainless steel to take on a color differentiation. It is called the patina. I also read that other fire pits made of stainless steel do the same. Given that this is normal, I give this pit a 5-star review. The wood lights so fast, burns so thoroughly, only requires a small amount of wood to put out a roaring fire, provides a lot of warmth surrounding it, and just overall does a great job. I really like the design and function of this fire pit and highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one. There is another well-known brand that is more expensive but, in my opinion, is not quite as good and costs more money. Hope this review helps.

Customer service is amazing!! First off, I ordered the upgraded fire pit, with the new ash pan and fire gathering ring. Amazon sent me the older original version. I contacted East Oak CS directly and they immediately sent me a new fire pit. The only thing they asked for was the invoice and a picture of the fire pit I received. Having burned fires in both, the upgraded pit is worth it. It just burns better... if you already have the original, it's not enough better that you need to go get the new version in my opinion, but it clearly has better air flow... I've also burned quite a few fires in the big name brand ,of equal size, I got at Costco. The East Oak is better in a couple of important ways. First, somehow, the heat reaches lower. My lower legs and feet don't get cold like they do with the other brand. It's not hot, I'm burning this on my wood deck with no fear, but it is warmer. Second, air flows better. The fire lights quickly and is stronger throughout the burn. Lastly, it was half the price of the Costco bundle of the other brand, and that Costco price is hard to beat. Better fire for half the cost...? That's an easy decision...

The size is great and it’s smokeless! Looks great and really burns clean
