Ranked #4 in Best Fire Pits

Landmann Big Sky Stars and Moons 28345

4.2

$140

Landmann's Big Sky has been the entry-level traditional wood fire pit benchmark for over a decade. The 24-inch deep firebowl with the iconic star-and-moon cutouts handles full fire bundles, throws warm radiant heat in all directions, and comes complete with screen, grate, and poker for well under $150. It does not match the Yukon on smoke management or finish quality, but it delivers an authentic backyard fire experience for roughly a third of the price.

Strengths

— 24-inch firebowl with 12.5-inch depth — actual capacity for full fire bundles, not a shallow trinket pit
— Star and moon cutouts double as airflow vents, keeping the fire burning longer per load
— Comes complete with spark screen, enamel cooking grate, and poker — ready to use out of the box

Watch-outs

— Painted-steel finish chips and rusts faster than the stainless construction on Solo Stove pits
— No drainage holes — water pools after rain and must be tipped out before next use
— Mesh spark-screen handle has reported quality-control issues in some Amazon review batches

Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe

Higher ratedRanked #3 in Best Fire Pits

Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe

4.7

$160

The Outland 893 Deluxe is the default portable propane fire pit recommendation across camping, RV, and patio review sites for one simple reason: it works, it's CSA-certified, and it costs half what its rivals charge. At 23 lbs and 19 inches across, it fits in a truck bed or a small patio corner and runs 7+ hours on a 20-lb tank. The reviewer at YuenX scored it 4.35/5 across performance, ease of use, and value after long-term ownership testing.

Strengths

— 4.8/5 across 17,000+ Amazon reviews — one of the most reviewed fire pits on the platform
— 58,000 BTU output in a 23-lb package you can actually load in a truck or RV
— CSA-certified for use during most fire bans — keeps you in fires when wood pits are banned

Watch-outs

— Manual ignition with included flint — no push-button starter
— 19-inch diameter is on the smaller side for groups of more than 4-5 people
— Does not produce the radiant warmth of a wood fire, especially at lower flame settings

How they stack up

Landmann Big Sky Stars and Moons 28345

The Big Sky is the budget alternative to the Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 — roughly one-third the price, similar 24-inch firebowl size, but no smokeless airflow design and painted-steel rather than 304 stainless construction. Compared to the Outland Mega 883 propane pit, the Landmann gives you real wood-fire crackle and radiant heat in exchange for losing fire-ban compliance and the 10-second ignition.

Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe

Pick the 893 Deluxe over the larger Outland Mega 883 when portability or budget matters — it costs roughly $120 less and packs to half the footprint, but uses the same 58,000 BTU burner. Pick the Mega over the 893 when the pit is going to live on a patio full-time and you want the larger flame ring. Versus the Bond Manufacturing Aurora at a similar price, the 893 wins on review volume and ecosystem accessories (covers, hose extensions, natural gas conversion kits all available from Outland).
