My husband finds smoke from fires really bothersome due to his COPD, especially when camping where a fire is essential. Can anyone recommend a smokeless or low smoke pit that would be enjoyable for him
The solo stove works well if you still want the real fire look

I second the solo stove. Also, consider how you build and maintain your fire. Fires that lack oxygen tend to smoke more.

I own a solo stove and really like it. It’s versatile and well-built. It was a gift from years ago. There are cheaper alternatives available now though.

Those are on my wish list, but a bit pricey for now.

Check out the Ozark Trail smokeless fire pits at Walmart for a more affordable option.

There are some good imitation brands available.

Keep an eye on deals, you can find some good ones on these pits.
Maybe consider a propane fire pit?

Propane pits are great since they produce no smoke. That might be what you’re looking for.

I love my portable propane fire pit. It gives off good heat, has a nice flame, and I can turn it off instantly when I’m done. Plus, you can still enjoy staring into the flames.

You can enhance the experience by playing a crackling fire sound from a Bluetooth speaker.

Just a heads up, burn bans often exclude propane fires because they can be shut off instantly.
Start with dry wood. Buy it, store it in a well-ventilated, covered area, elevate it from the ground for air circulation, and let it dry for two seasons. It should burn with minimal smoke.

We usually buy wood at the campsite as bringing our own isn’t allowed.
@Tal
Many camping sites restrict outside wood due to the risk of spreading invasive species.

Try lighting your fire from the top so it burns downwards. This method is supposed to produce less smoke.

That’s a new technique for me; I’ll try it next time!
@Tal
Kiln-dried wood from places like Tractor Supply might be a less smokey option and it’s pest-free.

We still can’t bring our own firewood, even if it’s kiln-dried.
