What is a Smokeless Fire Pit?
A smokeless fire pit is basically a fire pit that is used for outdoor activities, and is often used for burning firewood very efficiently, with smoke that is very minimal. The fire pit often emanates primary and secondary combustion using two streams of oxygen. The first phase of the primary combustion entails the burning of the wood. On the other hand, the burning of the smoke, which is the second phase; constitutes the secondary combustion.
Of importance to note however, is the fact that there is usually some fuel in the smoke that is often still left unburned.
