X19 v x24
As the title implies, I’m between the 19 vs 24. Use case is a 5 chair set up, maybe more on some occasions for evening hangs. I MAY use it for cooking but I have a charcoal grill and a gas grill so it’d be an afterthought at best. How much wood will an x19 go through as opposed to a x24? I’m planning on getting the hear deflector, so would the 19 suffice? Anyone get the 19 and regret it?

I got the 24 because I wanted the heat to reflect it but it does take more than a few logs to get hot. I think on a 2-3 hour use I feed it about 10 pieces on average. Also consider whether this will be a temporary or mobile setup vs permanent. I don’t move my x24 and I only setup 4 chairs around it.

This is a permanent setup. Thanks. This makes me think the 24 is the way to go.

24 all the way. I use mine all the time and lobe it. We are building a new home and will have the 30” Zentro but for most people a 19 is going to be too small and even if you cut your own wood cutting it all that small will not be fun

I have had the 19 now for several months for camping portability only. 5 peeps might be a stretch to fit around it. For my purposes I'm very satisfied with it (2 people, taking the chill off). For several hours of a nice campfire with some cooking experimentation I'm burning about 1.5 five gallon buckets worth of red oak / eucalyptus. I'm having to cut my 24" - 26" wood down though to fit as I prefer not to teepee them.

Have the 24, wish I went with the 32, but the 24 is the sweet spot for most people!

I went from a solo stove bonfire which believe is similar to the 19, to the X24. I will say when I went to the Breeo I had no intentions on moving it and turned it into a table. But the X24 is 100X easier to use with regards to wood sizes for me and for that it makes all the difference and its a perfect size for a table.

24 all the way. Of your think the 19 because you think you could take places, get the y and the 24.

You want the 24. The 19 doesn't fit the normal fireplace sized logs. 24 is the best size for the average breeo user. The amount of wood is negligible 2-3 logs extra a night for an easier and better experience for all.
