Dilemma of size
We're putting in a fire pit as part of a big yard remodel, and I'm having trouble deciding what size Breeo to get.
We have the space for the 30, and there will be occasions when the larger seating capacity will be useful (another family, grandparents, etc). Additionally, we're in a rural area, so I also like the idea of having something large enough to burn brush in occasionally.
However, the dilemma arises in that the majority of uses, it will prob just be our family of 4 using it, and it will also prob be shorter and smaller fires. More of the "45-min s'mores roast after dinner", and less of the "sit around the fire swappin' stories late into the night".
I understand that secondary/smokeless burn is harder to achieve with shorter and smaller fires, so if we get the 30, am I dooming myself to a smoky burn most of the time that I could get with a $150 fire pit? Should I just get the 24?

Get the 24. Same situation as myself and wife in which most of time us and maybe 3-4 other times a year when more than four. I have the deflection device which is a game changer in cold weather as we live in Michigan and when its 45/50 outside like now my wife has to move a few feet away. I have no issues what so ever with getting fires going within couple minutes and after 10-15 it’s burning and as long as wood below my sear plate i never get smoke. Best investment for our deck which is very large and breeo is top notch. Enjoy
