A dual-fuel portable firepit that eliminates smoke through patented airflow technology.
NEW in 2021, there's an entire lineup of FirePit family accessories that enable you to cook with your campfire: www.bioliteene...
So has the upgraded enamel coating solved the rusting problem that plagued the original Firepit?
Yes indeed, its drastically cut down the amount of rust issues we are seeing.
@@BioLiteChannel cut down but it still rusts
No, it hasn't solved the problem, it has only slightly increased the life span.
@@BioLiteChannel Just make it out of stainless steel or titanium, no coating necessary and no more rusting out.
@@mikey4016 The current cost for the 2 Plus is $250. To use other materials, given where it is manufactured, and the profit margin already set by the company; they would never be able to sell enough to justify the cost of stainless, much less titanium. Also, titanium is weak in comparison to steel. Titanium is for people who want to save as much weight as possible.
As for the paint and rust:
I NEVER use water to clean it. I use “orange wipes” that are found everywhere for cleaning. I scrub with those because they tear before they could hurt the paint. They also make cleaning very fast. However, they are acidic (all citrus smelling cleaning products are). That means that it will eat through the paint over time.
The goal is the keep it clean and do a thorough cleaning after EVERY trip or weekend use. If rust ever shows, I’ll use high temp paint that I already bought. I’ve had mine for months, use it for grilling and campfires, and it looks almost new. At the cost we pay; I’m going to baby it for as long as I can.
You take care of the things you love. 👍
Man, to all these people complaining about how the fan unit doesn’t charge itself:
1. Adding thermo-electric generator would increase cost significantly.
2. More features electronically means more parts, and more parts means more things likely to break/malfunction. Sometimes keeping it simple is best.
3. The charge unit already lasts a long time. I own one of these and the fan uses very little energy so the charged up unit lasts a VERY long time. Over two whole nights with constant use.
Sorry, I know you think I'm an idiot that doesn't know what they are talking about, but I think it's a shame you can't take it on longer camping trips
@@PeterKnagge I don’t think you’re an idiot. My comment was more towards the people who rip on Biolite for not adding the self-charging as if Biolite is the idiot. Let’s say they did add a thermo electric generator but it fails or costs too much, then people would complain about the price or that its unreliable. They’ve done their R&D and there is a reason why it’s not made available.
@@TheWuky22 My comment still stands. I read the FAQ, but I think they are fooling themselves.
@@PeterKnagge Fair enough. On a related topic regarding charging options, allow me to share the method I use to keep the unit going for multiple days. On a full charge I generally get two full nights of continuous fan use. To extend use into multiple days, I bought a small aftermarket 30w solar panel-has more than 3x the surface area than the panel that comes with the Biolite solar cover. Wayyy faster than their accessory cover. With full sun in the day, this allows me to recharge if low on juice and it keeps the unit topped off. Not useful if you camp when it’s overcast but been very effective for me so far.
Oh wait, it doesn't?
Well crap. That was the main reason I was going to get this over the smaller one that charges itself.
Thank you for clarifying!
any plans on adding the thermo charging that is in the campstove 2+ into this?
I had the same question. I wish it had the thermocouple. But, you could connect a solar panel to it. Another idea is that if you run the battery down, you could easily charge it if you have an EV.
Hi! Great question. The FirePit does not have a TEG and that's on purpose. The FirePit's design is to radiate heat outward, offering the rolling flames of a typical campfire. BaseCamp and CampStove are designed to concentrate flames and heat, making it ideal for thermoelectric conversion. If we put thermoelectrics in the FirePit, you'd get very little electricity relative to the size of the fire and it would cost upwards of $500-$700 - we didn't want to just do tech for tech's sake. The FirePit+ airflow pack detaches easily and with runtimes of up to 30 hours per charge, you can recharge easily at home or from a BioLite SolarPanel or powerbank in between use.
@@BioLiteChannel thank you very much for the response. As a side note, do you have a good video on reloading the camp stove 2.0? I was cooking on the grill attachment and it ran out and was a bit of a pain to get going again
@@HarshmanHills Hi! We have an instruction video for CampStove on UA-cam that includes fueling and refueling - were you using pellets or sticks? That can help inform best tips for refueling
@@BioLiteChannel pellets.
Why would you not put the thermal generator tech in this like your small stove so it would charge itself while burning?
Great question. In order for the same technology to work on FirePit+, the overall size and cost of the product for the customer would become too inflated to make it feasible.
all your products are awesome, imagine if you guys made tents
Fire charging output? 5V + ?A = ?W
Thanks for answer. 😀🖖👍
No TEG in this model!
What is the X-ray mesh made from? I know it’s enamel coated but when it gets chipped etc will it rust in those places? Also what is the rest of the metal type?
Hey! The metal substrate inside the X-ray mesh is carbon steel, the fuel rack and grilling surface are all made from rust-resistant stainless steel, and the enamel coating is applied in a multi-stage priming, coating and baking process for maximum adhesion and resistant to chipping.
it seems i cant order from Romania... and i agree with some here, you should focus more on the charging part and innovation. thanks!
MicroUSB? Still?
It works. What would be the point of using something else? That's what dumb people do. Doing things that don't add any value, but costs more.
Can the battery pack use thermal energy from the campfire to recharge its own battery like the biolite camping stoves?
Hi! Great question. No, this does not have a thermoelectric generator like the CampStove - and that's on purpose. The FirePit's design is to radiate heat outward, offering the rolling flames of a typical campfire. CampStove is designed to concentrate flames and heat, making it ideal for thermoelectric conversion.

@@BioLiteChannel Hmm, that’s reasonable. Thank you for the response! I enjoy your biolite products, especially your CampStove!
@@sgpros8084 Thanks for writing in! So glad to hear you enjoy the CampStove
I've heard the fan noise is a bit loud, any changes between FirePit and FirePit+ to reduce fan noise?
Nope..it remain the same
just burn the wood like people did before battery powered fire pits lol
In all fairness, the battery is only loud for the top two settings. The bottom two are pretty quiet with the lowest setting being silent.
Why doesn't the fire charge the fan like it does on the stove
Thanks for reaching out! In exploring this potential, we found that the size of the FirePit+, design, and cost to the customer all become compromised when trying to prioritize the battery charging capabilities.
Can you confirm that operating the firepit on a deck is safe? The manual states not to but the promotional video shows it. Also, would it be safe to use cast iron pans on top of pit to cook on top? Thanks!
Hey, thanks for reaching out! If you are going to use FirePit+ on a deck, we recommend using our FireMat accessory which deflects heat and can protect sensitive surfaces (www.bioliteenergy.com/products/firepit-firemat)
As for cooking, we have a cast-iron griddle that is designed to fit on top of the FirePit perfectly so you get the most even temp distribution (www.bioliteenergy.com/products/firepit-griddle) but we definitely have seen customers using their own cast-iron on the unit. We would just caution anyone to make sure the skillet is properly balanced and that you don't overbuild your flames (not good for cooking anyway and the flames can lick out from under).
@@BioLiteChannel Thanks for the info :-)
from what iveseen they STILL SMOKE as much as any other fire
HI ALL, I'VE NOTICED A CANCER AND REPRODUCTIVE WARNING ON MY BOX...CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? THANKS, LOVE THE LIGHT
It's prop. 65 outta California. Google it
🍇 Hello.
Do you send to Moldova ???
PLEASE 🙏
Needs USB-C and are there controls on board or do I have to have my phone?
Also, will there be a larger version of this in the near future?
Also also, taller legs so I don't have to crouch down to cook?
Also Also Also, can I trade in my Solo stove for one of these?
Please put the reg generator on this! You can have all my money then.
We need some links in the description please I don't want to have to Google the product😁
Here ya go! www.bioliteenergy.com/products/firepit-plus
I am yet another person that wishes it included a thermoelectric generator as an option.
Sorry, I know you think I'm an idiot that doesn't know what they are talking about, but I think it's a shame you can't take it on longer camping trips
@@PeterKnagge I'm assuming you can just charge it through your car. Or if you're camping, you probably have a power bank to charge from. I guess whichever way you're charging your phone while camping should also be able to charge this. I don't own it, but I'm just making assumptions.
Are you planning to make salt water based energy devices?
I was surprised that this didn’t have a way to charge it’s own battery like the Campstove 2. If it had that tech, I’d buy it for the price they’re asking. Not poo, poo smokeless fire and being able to have a more efficient fire, a thing not to here. But CampStove 2+ really spoiled me.
What the hell is this message supposed to be telling us?
@@jessicaburton1515 he's saying that if the firepit batery would self charge from the heat, like other biolite bateries, he would buy it.
Lots of people.complain about rustingnof the match
Hey Thomas - FirePit+ features new high-temp enamel coating for added durability.
@@BioLiteChannel nice i was put off before by the mesh rusting thats great you upgraded the coating
@@BioLiteChannel What do youhave to say about the major rusting problem ? Rust appears after just 2 months of using it !
@@stephanel6637 is the firepit+ or the old version?
@@stephanel6637 how is yours looking now?
Woo hooo we just received box’s from USA and cant wait to open them. My Birthday isn’t until August 18th, so will have to wait. I want to take it to the river where it will be bitterly cold to warm us up and to cook on top. Will keep you posted X
Picking one up Friday...can’t wait
How is it running ?
@@unnamedchannel1237 I’ve only had the chance to use it 3 times but wow she’s cool! Creates a bit more ash than id like but definitely about 75% less smoke than usual. Can’t wait to use her a ton more in the summer
@@caydn2 what? Only 75% less smoke?! She said it was supposed to be smokeless!!!
@@ramseycecill yea it’s not completely smokeless
We have ordered ours and are awaiting for it to arrive in christchurch New Zealand for my Birthday. 🌱🌿
Let us know if you cook anything tasty on it!
Purchased one! Excellent item. i boil a lot of water from it...and cook burgers! lol
Biolite is BADASS
am yet another person that wishes it included a thermoelectric generator as an option. :/
oooooof i want one so much, they look amazing
i know right
Purchased, excited, waiting for shipping notification! Don’t slip on that ship date haha I need this ASAP.
I missed the first batch, mine is back ordered
@@TayGuy I’m supposed to get delivery on Friday
@@WeHaveMiko Daaaaammnn Jealous! Looking like it'll ship June 10 for me...
Lost me at MicroUSB - USB-C please
If you really wanna be relevant make a fire makes electric ⚡ situation. You prob need more than thermo electric. Good luck making those tiny generating assemblies and getting them to be reliable. If done would really create a new market
Is a chipmunk providing the backing vocals?
Also, I love my firepit! Most delicious steaks and burgers.
Alvin, Simon.... FIREPIT!
Fire has already evolved into nuclear ☢️. Why is it homes haven’t incorporated this tech with every heating system. Even devices like these on boilers ,cookers , toasters , fire stoves . Etc . Why aren’t their toys like this for every device today . Shit I only knew this a week ago and it’s out 5 years . 😢😢.
*1:44** phone dead need charging…..(rest phone on fire pit)….go peee….come back OMG REALLT PHONE DEAD!!!!*
deeeefinitely do *not* recommend resting your phone on FirePit with a fire going 😂
😻😻😻😻😻💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍
This is a 20-pound fire pit. What the hell is someone or anyone thinking when they comment it doesn't work well for backpacking. No shit! I don't take my 48-quart cooler along on my backpacking trips either. Usually leave my zodiac raft and jet ski at home too.
What ever happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say (or even partially intelligent for that matter), THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!
Gg
So, instead of producing electricity, this one just uses it. What a waste.
It’s worth it, and the Battery lasts a long time. If it had thermal charging you would be complaining about the high price. They had to leave it out this time. It’s well worth the asking price and I’d say 1/4 of the people that are around mine end up purchasing there own. Don’t let it scare you away until you get to hang out around one! If you use the solar charging carry bag it still counts as producing it’s own power right? Cheers
@@SuperchargedSecondGen but once the power runs out, it's completely useless! A lot of the people watching closely all Biolite's products look for something that works off the grid, not just for an accesory to socialize the weekends. I don't understand why you say it will be too expensive to add this thermal charging technology already integrated in several of their products. I think they should offer the option at least for those looking to use this without any worries about energy supply. As it is, it won't work in emergency scenarios. Therefore, in my opinion, It is not worth investing in it. But i don't lose hope Biolite offers the off the grid version in a near future.
Thanks for your hard work Biolite 😘
@@DAEL_CEJA they sell a solar carry case for it, that is their off grid solution for this product. But to be honest- this is not for backpacking, it’s for car camping or over landing. There are many options for power in both cases.
@@dippysadventures322 correct.. who the heck carry this stuff while hiking anyway. This doesnt fit a backpack.
Waaaah waaaah waaaah. Your comments are a waste. These products are super useful. The original Biolite stove is what works best for backpacking. Always gotta be someone complaining -"oh I can't bring my drone to the restaurant with me." Or boo hoo my dog had to stay in the car or at home while I went to church. Or we couldn't take the kids' electric four wheeler on the airplane with us. Get it together people.
Hey I love ur item , and would love to do some sponsored content for it I'm in Alaska and am in desperate need for something like this and I have 10k tik tok followers
Y'all are the Best Knees ... Stoked to tell folks about ya, and I hope they buy a bunch. Also, I'll have to add "thermoelectric generator" to my todo list now, we're still a bit out on zero-point yet. I knew Tesla had that figured out, but one of the "UFO Guys" finally got it ... Hopefully he stays healthy till the project is "too big to fail", but either way, I'm sure I'll see it before I croak. You folks and they would make an AWESOME team ... Just sayin' ... as they say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Really great work folks, and an even greater vibe that just made me smile ... made me think ... "Ubuntu"... The Mandela version of course, not the operating system ❤️
Much love!!! ✌
