Fire Pits matchup
Breeo X Series 19 vs Breeo X Series 24 (Corten)
one pit in two sizes, and two different divisions
Different weight classes
These two fight in different divisions — this is a budget question, not a fair fight. The tale of the tape below shows what stepping up (or down) actually buys.
Ringside notes
This is the size question inside one Breeo line, and the two sizes fight in different divisions: the X Series 19 is our Middleweight pick for cooking against the Solo Stove Bonfire, and the X Series 24 fights the big pits one class up. Same Corten weathering steel, same stainless rim built for Breeo's grills and griddles, same warranty — a limited lifetime on welding and structural defects and three years on rust or burn-through. What changes is the fire and the weight. Breeo's spec sheet puts the X24 at 27.5 inches across the rim with a 23.5-inch bowl, against the X19's 22 inches with an 18.5-inch fire; the X24 weighs 62 lb to the X19's 47, and neither has an ash pan. Both owner bases are clean and model-specific: the X19 reads 5 of 217 critical, the lowest share of any smokeless pit we have read, and the X24 reads 15 of 280. On both, the dominant complaint is that it is not smokeless. The bigger pit is also the more tested one: six outlets have lit the X24, and Popular Mechanics made it its best overall. The X19's credentialed test is Family Handyman's two months of backyard fires. The honest routing is by crowd and by wood: the X19 seats a family, the X24 is for a bigger circle and the longer 16 to 18 inch logs Breeo recommends for it.

What would decide it
- Owner proof: Breeo X Series 19 reads 4.7★ across 217 owners; Breeo X Series 24 (Corten) reads 4.7★ across 286. Depth of sample matters as much as the star.
- Breeo X Series 19 — your pick if: you want a buy-it-for-life fire pit you can cook on — USA-made Corten steel with a built-in sear rim; it's heavy (~47 lb), has no removable ash pan, and costs more than the Solo Stove.
- Breeo X Series 24 (Corten) — your pick if: you want the big smokeless pit the most testers have lit — six outlets and counting, Popular Mechanics' best overall among them — built in Pennsylvania from Corten that is meant to rust on the outside; you accept 62 lb, no ash pan, and a rust-through warranty that runs three years, not a lifetime.
The full cards
Breeo X Series 19
Best for cooking & buy-it-for-lifeYour pick if you want a buy-it-for-life fire pit you can cook on — USA-made Corten steel with a built-in sear rim; it's heavy (~47 lb), has no removable ash pan, and costs more than the Solo Stove.
Pro review “I do think it performed the best out of any smokeless fire pit I’ve tried.”— Anthony O'Reilly, Family Handyman
- Made in the USA (Lancaster, PA) from thick Corten weathering steel — a buy-it-for-life build
- Wide rim built for live-fire cooking (SearPlate griddle, Outpost grill)
- Clean double-wall secondary burn
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Heavy (~47 lb) — a stay-put centerpiece, not portable
- No removable ash pan on the base model (hand/vac cleanout)
- Pricier than the Bonfire, and the all-stainless option adds $100
- Corten patina can stain a patio if left in standing water
It is not smokeless — one owner reports smoke using seasoned hardwood and Breeo's own recommended log-cabin build. Rust and corrosion is the second theme.

Your pick if you want the big smokeless pit the most testers have lit — six outlets and counting, Popular Mechanics' best overall among them — built in Pennsylvania from Corten that is meant to rust on the outside; you accept 62 lb, no ash pan, and a rust-through warranty that runs three years, not a lifetime.
Pro review “One of the coolest details of the X Series 24 is its corten finish.”Best Overall in Popular Mechanics' smokeless fire pit test, after several months of use by its test editor— Brad Ford, Popular Mechanics
- The most-tested pit in the class: OutdoorGearLab, Popular Mechanics (Best Overall), Bob Vila, GearJunkie, HGTV and The Barbecue Lab all lit this exact model
- Made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, from Corten steel that forms a protective patina instead of discolouring
- A wide stainless rim built to cook on, with Breeo's grill and griddle accessories
- A clean, model-specific owner base: every critical card is the X Series 24
- No ash pan — you scoop or vacuum it, around raised vent channels
- 62 lb, with no handles; OutdoorGearLab called it one of the least portable pits it has tested
- The shortest timed burn of the three tested big pits: 50 minutes against the Yukon's 70
- "Lifetime" covers welding and structural defects; rust or burn-through is covered for 3 years
It is not smokeless — five of the ten critical cards say so, one from an owner who had to move it out from under a covered lanai. Two more expected the rust-red colour and received silver: Breeo's own spec sheet says every Corten pit arrives in a blue steel finish and patinas over time.

FAQ
Breeo X19 or X24?
Buy for the circle you actually host. The X19 is a 22-inch pit with an 18.5-inch fire at 47 lb; the X24 is 27.5 inches across with a 23.5-inch bowl at 62 lb, and Breeo recommends 16 to 18 inch logs for it. Materials, the cooking rim and the warranty are the same on both.
Is the warranty different between the sizes?
No. Breeo's current guide gives every fire pit a limited lifetime warranty on welding and structural defects and three years on rust or burn-through.
Which one smokes less?
Neither is smokeless, and that is the most common complaint on both. The X19's owner base is the cleanest we have read — 5 of 217 critical — and the X24's reads 15 of 280. OutdoorGearLab found the X24's thicker walls take time to heat up and make more smoke at the start.
