Ranked #5 in Best Fire Pits

Landmann Big Sky Stars and Moons 28345

4.0

1 sourceall derived$109as of Nov 2

For over a decade Landmann's Big Sky has been the benchmark entry-level traditional wood fire pit. Its 24-inch deep firebowl with the iconic star-and-moon cutouts handles full fire bundles and throws warm radiant heat in all directions, and screen, grate and poker are all included for well under $150. Smoke management and finish quality don't match the Yukon, but the backyard fire experience is authentic 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
— Comes complete with spark screen, enamel cooking grate, and poker — ready to use out of the box
— Sub-$150 price gives traditional wood-fire ambiance without Solo Stove pricing

Watch-outs

— No drainage holes — water pools after rain and must be tipped out before next use

Solo Stove Yukon 2.0

4.7

1 source

Outdoor Gear Lab made Solo Stove's flagship 27-inch smokeless wood pit its overall pick for 2026, ahead of 16 competitors on both heat output and smoke reduction. The Yukon 2.0 keeps the original's double-wall airflow and finally adds the removable ash pan owners begged for. It's the priciest pick in this lineup, but the lifetime warranty and the way it handles full-size logs get a backyard pit as close to a true campfire as you can get without the smoke.

Strengths

— Double-wall 360-degree airflow burns off smoke better than any other pit ODL tested
— New removable ash pan and base plate makes cleanup a 30-second job instead of tipping a 42-lb shell
— 304 stainless steel build backed by Solo Stove's lifetime warranty

Watch-outs

— At 42 lbs with no built-in carry handles, moving it across the yard is awkward
— Stand sold separately and is required to protect wood decks from radiated floor heat
