Outdoor Gear Lab's favorite portable propane fire pit is the Outland Mega, which scored 82/100 in their 17-pit test and landed just behind two Solo Stoves overall. At 24 inches across with 58,000 BTUs of output, it bridges the gap between a camping firebowl and a true patio centerpiece. A pre-attached 10-foot hose, CSA fire-ban certification and 7-9 hour burn time per 20-lb tank make it the easy pick when you want fire without firewood.

Strengths
  • — Outdoor Gear Lab ranked it #3 of 17 at 82/100 — the top-rated propane pit in their 2026 test
  • — 58,000 BTU output measured at 600-700F surface temperature, enough to warm 5-6 people
  • — CSA-certified safe to use during most local fire bans
Watch-outs
  • — Manual ignition only (no battery-powered starter), so you light it with the included flint each time

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

How they stack up

Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883

The Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883 is a scaled-up Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe, with the same 58,000 BTU output and 10-foot hose in a body 5 inches wider and 11 lbs heavier. It costs more than the 893 Deluxe. Against the wood-burning Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 it gives up the radiant heat of a wood fire, and it is CSA-certified for use during most fire bans.

Solo Stove Yukon 2.0

The Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 burns wood in a 27-inch smokeless 304 stainless steel pit that takes 22-inch logs, where the Landmann Big Sky Stars and Moons 28345 is a painted-steel wood pit with a 24-inch firebowl and no smokeless design. It costs more than the Landmann. The propane Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883 does not match a wood fire's radiant heat, but it is CSA-certified for use during most fire bans.
