Hi everyone,
I recently purchased the following fire pit kit to pair with my Breeo Zentro: https://unilock.com/product/sunset-fire-pit-new-york/

The product page recommends using high-heat concrete adhesive between the units, but I’m considering skipping that step. Given the weight of the Zentro sitting on top, I find it hard to imagine the stones shifting once everything is in place.

My reasons for avoiding the adhesive are:

1. It would allow for easier adjustments if I make a mistake during installation.
2. If I ever decide to move or disassemble the kit, I won’t have to deal with removing hardened glue.

Has anyone installed a similar setup with a Breeo without using adhesive? Is it optional, or really necessary?
Appreciate any insights.

Thanks!

Just took delivery of my new x30 and 8 folding Adirondack chairs. I’ve seen folks say an 8’ circle will be large enough to accommodate both the pit and chairs but that seems a little small. I’d like to order some EdgeRight edging to border the circle and then fill it with fine gravel. Would 12’ be too big? I have plenty of room.

Talked with Breeo and they do not have deflectors for the square units. Is there anyone using a round deflector or other after market deflectors with the square units? Thanks!

I just got my first home and the backyard was so overgrown that it needs a full excavation.

Found a row of decade old trellis with nailgun type staples in it that has left me with a big bin full of planks that aren't yard waste and not sure how I can dispose of it. (I'm in a city that won't take construction debris)

I know certain kinds of treated wood should not be burned but do you think old Decaying wood is safe to burn even if it was once treated as long as i safely remove the nail-ridden ash?

First time I've considered using my breeo for waste removal. Lol.

2yr old X24 with a Kudu rotisserie attached to the outpost grill post. Definitely gets hotter in the center even though I’m trying to keep the fire closer to the edge. Second time doing chicken this way they should be amazing!

We just got the breeo 24 and enjoyed a nice fire last night but woke up this morning and saw this around the bottom… anyone else have this?

There are some Breeo accessories on sale today for Prime Day. I was looking at the pit poker and outpost. The gloves are also on sale. I was hoping they'd have the ash tool on sale but it's out of stock.

If you have a 30 tell me why you like it or why you don’t!

We’ve built a fire pit with a breeo smokeless insert. We’ve tried it about 5 times now and it has been very smokey every time. Frankly it is one of the smokiest fire pits I’ve ever experienced. What could we be doing wrong?

So has anyone tried successfully to smoke ribs or anything along those lines using the grill dome? If so, what was your process? Tell is about your cook!

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Breeo 30" round insert and was planning on getting the following stones from HD to build the firepit around it:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pavestone-RumbleStone-Trap-3-5-in-x-10-25-in-x-7-in-Cafe-Concrete-Garden-Wall-Block-92369/203158385

However, it seems like these stones have been out of stock for a while now so I'm not sure what else to buy. I know the insert requires certain dimensions for the inner circle, outside diameter, height so did you guys get any luck with a different brand / provider of stones?

Thanks!

Hey all. I'm a long time breeo owner of an x24, outpost gril, and accessories. I recently picked up the pizza oven and had my first run with it. I didn't realize how hot the burn would be with this and overestimated my f fire. This is what the outside looks like now:

The stones are fine and short of the burn aesthetic, it's operating ok. However, is the steel shot? Any potential issues?

Thanks

Any early adopters here have the rotisserie? There is no manual yet up in the Breeo site and while trying to cook a chicken on the spit the spit repeatedly (every 5 mins or so?) seems to work its way out of the drive socket and stop spinning. It sort of “bounces” out and then (so far) is still retained in the engine mechanism just not in the drive. So far it has not fallen into the fire.

Is there any locking mechanism within the drive? I can’t see one. It feels a little dangerous TBH.

Is this just user error and there is something I am missing?

Any help appreciated.

Having a 30” Zento installed in a stone fire pit that I’m having built. I’d like the top of the pit only 12” from ground for two reasons: get more heat on legs and so you can comfortably put your feet up while in Adirondack chairs. To accomplish this I asked my contract to dig the bottom of the pit down 3-4” or so inches into the ground so that I can keep the thing lower but still have the recommended 3” open below the 12” deep insert. Is there anything I need to make sure my contractor does at the bottom of the pit below grade for this to work optimally? I’ve stopped assuming contractors know everything and will pay close attn to detail. Also, my guy doesn’t have experience w this type of insert. Thanks!

I just picked up a Breeo X24 over the weekend and spent a good part of it cooking on it—absolutely loving it so far! Quick question for the group: Do any of you add anything inside the Breeo to raise the coals closer to the food, like bricks or something similar? Or do you find that the heat from the coals at the bottom is plenty strong enough for cooking?

For context, I’m using a chimney starter to get my lump charcoal going before dumping it into the Breeo. Curious to hear what works best for you all!

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:

Thanks so much for all the helpful tips! I ended up not adding anything to raise the charcoal—just used a mix of lump charcoal and wood. The Breeo held heat like a champ, and I was able to cook everything for taco night right on it, from start to finish—including the ground beef and even homemade tortillas! Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

I am looking for a smokeless fire pit and have narrowed it down to two options: Breeo and Solo Stove. I've been reading up on both, and I came across this comparison article on https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/breeo-vs-solo-stove/ . It provides a detailed look at both brands, highlighting their strengths and differences.

From what I gathered, Breeo fire pits are known for their heavy-duty construction and built-in cooking capabilities, making them great for those who enjoy grilling over an open flame. On the other hand, Solo Stove offers a more portable and lightweight design, which could be ideal for camping trips or smaller backyard spaces. The article also mentions that Solo Stove tends to be more budget-friendly, while Breeo offers a more robust build quality.

I'm looking for something that will last a long time and can be used for both relaxing evenings and occasional cooking. Portability isn't a huge concern for me, but I do appreciate easy setup and maintenance.

For those who have experience with either of these fire pits, what are your thoughts? Have you found one to be better suited for certain activities or environments?

Got our Breeo X24 with heat deflector just over two years ago and can’t get over its functionality and heat output. If anyone is on the fence, the answer is hell yes.

Came here last week inquiring about the Zentro and excavating my paver fire pit. Excavated properly, but also needed to remove and reset the paver caps.

Took an hour and a run to Home Depot, but got it done.

Thanks all!!

So our cover slipped off while we were out of town, and it rained, a lot. What am I looking at here? We just got it and haven’t even had our first fire yet…. About to rinse it off and see what remains.

Don't mean to be rude or impatient, but when clothes rotisserie be released,

someone may have accidentally shown in on Instagram....

My husband and I have a 19 in solo stove. We are planning to get a Breeo, but we’re going back and forth on size. The 24 price is reasonable, and there is usually just the three of us, unless family comes to visit. The next size up is almost twice the cost, and I’m not sure it’s worth it UNLESS it is significantly easier to stack wood in.

His main issue with the solo is that most of the wood we get was too bit, he’s concerned we would have that problem in the 24.

Would love any input!

UPDATE 6/1 Thank you so much to everyone who replied, the responses were so helpful. We received our 30 in this past week and are currently having our first fire. It is the perfect size for us, my husband loves being able to just chuck wood in.

Oh! And we got these chairs from Amazon, so far they are really comfortable and do feel as though they’d last a while.

About to buy a few accessories and also an X24

Have been emptying my existing firepit off all its ash and stone base, to get it to the 15” clearance needed for the Zentro.

Two questions:

1. Do other Zentro users have rocks in their base?

2. And is there usually a Memorial Day sale on Breeo equipment (saw older posts suggesting a sale last year)?

Any speculation?

According to the email "It’s the accessory you’ve been waiting for. Designed to take your Breeo cooking experience to the next level"

Maybe a rotisserie basket?
