How to Start a Fire in a Breeo Firepit

In this video we show how we start a fire in our @breeofirepits X-Series 24. We build a log cabin style fire and Use @RoyalOakCharcoal tumbleweeds to start the fire. The key to starting a good fire is dry seasoned wood. Hope this video helps someone out! Subscribe so you dont miss any future videos.

If you constructed smoke free pit it would be good to also have smoke free procedure of ignition - and this is top-bottom technique:
- put thick wood on bottom, then less thick wood (perpendicular), and then small size wood on top of it, together with some wood wool you use. And ignite the wool then.
That gives you normally (without rim) very clean and steady start up, while here it should be just perfect in that rim. Whenever you start at the bottom, you will get quite a lot of smoke as the fire is below the smoke. While its above it just burns the smoke in the air.

I’ll have to try that out!

[@Retipster]

You mean, I didn't need to dump a gallon of gas on my wood before lighting it??

[@501BBQ]

Nah but that may be more fun lol

Thanks for the intro to Breo. I'm thinking about getting a 19X. What % humidity is acceptable in the wood for it to be considered dry? I put some "kiln dried" wood in a friend's Solo Stove today & it sizzled. Does that mean too much moisture in the wood? Good video. Thanks.

[@501BBQ]

I honestly don’t know the %. Kiln dried should be good to go but if it’s sizzling It’s got moisture. Can’t go wrong with the Breeo. Love our 24x!

[@501BBQ]

I think kiln dried should be around 8%

[@julzwinnfield6088]

Kiln dried wood doesn't sizzle unless it's a pine. My Solo Bonfire sizzled burning pieces of broken wood pallet that I recovered from a sod delivery last week. Some paper bags & a match & that pine made a sizzling inferno in 10 minutes.

[@MustangNthusiest]

I haven't received my X Series 19 yet, but has anyone tried wood pellets just to get the fire nice and hot and starting, then add wood when theres ambers and a hot fire?

[@501BBQ]

I’ve added pellets once it’s going and it gets really hot and rolling for a short time. I don’t use them much anymore

[@SandysDIYHealthAdvocacy]

Thank you for this. I am a complete novice and feeling a little discouraged. Although I've learned to do much harder things so there is hope. It seems no matter how exactly I follow the instructions, I end up with a lot of smoke and then fire begins to go out. Sometimes I quick throw some kindling in between to try to get it going again, but I usually end up with kind of a mess. Some really quick large burns of the kindling that quickly go away. I'm wondering if it is the logs I'm using. I see some of your logs have no bark at all. Most of mine do have some. They are small logs, dried Oak, split either in half or in quarters. I bought them from someone in my area. I'm wondering if I need something in between the kindling and these logs. Thank you in advance for any ideas

[@501BBQ]

To me it sounds like your wood isn’t dry enough. These logs that I start with are very very dry that light quick and don’t burn for long. I have other wood I use once I have some coals built up. One thing you can do is go gather smaller limbs from the ground (not sure the availability to you) but they all typically will be much smaller and therefore dry out quicker. I start lots of fires from tiny stuff that calls out of my trees into my yard. Gather a lot of them and keep adding to it once it’s burning. Then start with small logs. Look into a 6 pound hammer and hatchet to split logs you have into smaller pieces. Smaller the better to get it going

[@501BBQ]

I’ll add your wood could be dry enough to burn but maybe not to start a fire.

[@SandysDIYHealthAdvocacy]

@@501BBQ thank you. Are the bundles you buy from hardware stores and the like typically dry enough?

[@501BBQ]

Stuff you buy from hardware stores like a ace hardware, Lowe’s etc should be kiln dried. I still like to split it into smaller pieces to get the fire started. I don’t know where you are from or what kind of access you have but if I come across a smaller limb down I will break up the small stuff for kindling and have started fires that way as well

@@501BBQ I'm in Florida. Thank you so much!!!

[@ec4221]

Hello 551BBQ I live in a condo with a small backyard patio. Which Bree size would you recommend ??

[@501BBQ]

Probably the 19 depending on how many people may sit around it. If you have room the 24 would be great. I have both and the 24 is my stationary pit and we take the 19 camping with us

[@ec4221]

@@501BBQ ok great thank you for you quick response!😀

[@501BBQ]

No problem!

[@gazkett7872]

Do you need rocks or something underneath it? I just got one and wanna put it on my deck without burning it

[@501BBQ]

I don’t unless I just want it to be higher. But mines always in my yard. You would definitely need stuff under it on a deck. Lots of good info on the Breeo owners Facebook group on that subject

[@gazkett7872]

@@501BBQ awesome I just joined that. Waiting to be accepted. Yeah I want it on my deck but unless what you put underneath. I have old tile but not sure if that’s enough
