BioLite Firepit Review - wood cooking

- We just got our BioLite Firepit from the Kickstarter campaign. I had to try it out and decided to video the trial.
I was not compensated for this review and I have had no contact with the BioLite company (aside from them shipping my campaign items of course). We paid full price for this via Kickstarter.
Part 2: • BioLite Firepit Review...
I own one of these. The “smoke” when cooking is probably from the FOOD/JUICES not the wood unless it’s wet/damp wood. The fan is not loud at all. The wood when dry lasts a long time in my uses during camp outs. I love this firepit! (Super easy to clean with that TRAP DOOR on the bottom!)
I enjoyed such a complete review
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video
I ha Jed the camp stove, base lantern, I have the base camp stove... I so wish I pulled the trigger on this. It was on my watch list on Kickstarter from when it was launched... looking good!
Thanks. We got the campstove 2 with the grill attachment when we kickstarted this. We're super excited to get back to camping in a couple weeks - we're going to put all of this stuff through its paces.
I had clamping issues also. The top of the squared off part attached to the power pack was a fraction to high to slip under the the black mating part on the end of the pit. While putting pressure towards the pit with the pack, I tapped the rectangle down under the black apart.
It sounds like this is one of the few times I got lucky with a product. Thanks for letting us know how you took care of the problem.
Kindling on the bottom comments, with all the extra air pumped in the area if the fire lights do what ya like. This biolite makes me hungry!
Nice job 👍
That's a bizarre way to start a fire. Why do you put the kindling on top? Wouldn't it be more efficient to put that under the bigger pieces of wood?
generally I would agree with you. However there's the matter of the fuel sitting on a grate so most kindling is going to fall through. I used the wood as a base and built the fire on top, just like we have to do in the PNW when it's been raining and the ground is wet.
Thanks so much for your kind reply. I truly appreciate it. Over that recent decade I have learned that a lot of innovative and unconventional fire builds work. Here in the Saint Croix Riverway National Park I have found that what folks up north call the "upside down fire" works very well for a large campfire in a fire ring. It's similar to what you did. We simply set several pieces of big wood on end then build a small tepee fire centered on top. As it burns down embers fall between bigger wood and start it burning. The fire then burns outward from the center. As they burn, big chunks fall toward each other and continue burning without requiring a lot of rearrangement.

I bought this firepit from Biolite direct. The power pack is not working properly right from the box. I have waited for 4 days so far to hear back about my defective power pack and still nothing...not impressed.
The folks on the biolite firepit owners group at Facebook say they've emailed Firepit@bioliteenergy.com and have had prompt results. Good luck!
smoke on lower settings?! cancel that preorder!
To balance marketing and engineering, the online brochure says "way less smoke than a traditional fire pit" and I think that's true
Hi, would you say that fan noise would interfere with people talking around the fire pit? Also, please try charcoal on this for smoke. Thank you!
I don't think the fan is really noticeable unless it's on max. But it's not too loud to talk over. I'll definitely do a follow up with a bag of charcoal - thanks!
you asked .... ruclips.net/video/Abb0ixMN55M/видео.html
toosas once you get a fire base set, adding more logs didn’t create smoke when I tested mine. Just got yesterday, was in the back yard tonight. It creates WAY WAY LESS smoke than your standard fire pit or grill.
I think you are just never happy with anything
If no one complained or offered constructive feedback, nothing would ever improve. Thanks for watching!
