But don’t expect to save much by buying the bundle. That’s essentially everything you need in one package. The bundle comes with the fire pit, Outpost Grill, lid, and ash shovel.
#SOLO STOVE DIY HEAT DEFLECTOR SERIES#
If you haven’t purchased your fire pit, you may be considering the X Series Smokeless Grilling Bundle. We’ve been using our lid for over year now and it still looks brand new.
#SOLO STOVE DIY HEAT DEFLECTOR PLUS#
Plus the lid doubles as a heat deflector and drink/snack table when the pit is not in use. Considering the cost of the fire pit, it makes sense to protect your investment. In our opinion, the lid is definitely worth the price. Unfortunately, there’s not a definitive answer here, but we’ve stopped using our cover and now rely solely on the lid to protect the pit. However, lid may be more economical in the long-term considering it’s made of the same steel as the fire pit and will last just as long. Some believe the cover actually keeps moisture trapped inside, which can actually be harmful.įrom a cost perspective, the lid is twice the price as the cover. There’s debate within the Breeo users community on whether the cover is needed if you’re already using the lid. The Breeo Cover is another option for protecting your fire pit So does one work better than the other? Or should you use both? The purpose of the cover is similar to the lid – to protect the fire pit from rain and debris. In addition to the steel lid, Breeo also sells a polyester cover made for your your X Series fire pit. However, we have used this hack may times and it has not caused any damage to the lid (or outpost). Keep in mind that Breeo does not recommend using the lid as a hear deflector, so you may run the risk of voiding your warranty.
That can make a big difference on a freezing cold night. That’s it! It’s not perfect, but you’ll feel more heat kicking out the sides. As a side note, we highly recommend both of these Breeo accessories.ġ) Turn the Outpost grate upside down and slide it on, toward the top of the post. You’ll need both the Breeo Lid and Outpost for this heat deflector hack.
The purpose is to keep you warm by catching some of the hear that would have been released straight into the sky and deflecting that heat outwards. Heat deflector hackĪn ‘alternate’ use of the Breeo Lid is to use it along with the Outpost Grill to create a heat deflector. But it’s probably best to listen to the manufacturers advice. It’ll work in a pinch and it’s probably better than leaving a fire unattended. Moral of the story is don’t expect to use your lid as a fire snuffer. That’s not to say the “creosote buildup and dripping” wouldn’t cause damage over time, but for one night the lid and pit survived. There was not warping or discoloration at all. Secondly, the lid showed no visible damage. Covering the pit actually reduced the air flow and caused the fire to burn slower. The lid didn’t actually put the fire out, because oxygen can still be pulled i through the bottom of the pit. There were two things I discovered when I checked on the fire pit the next morning.įirst, the fire pit was still hot and when I took the lid off there were still burning coals at the bottom. Not being one to follow directions, I tried using the lid to snuff the fire at the end of a night. The website clearly states “Never use your lid as a snuffer.” The reason? “Doing so can cause creosote buildup and dripping, as well as lid damage.” However, the manufacturer warns against that. If you’re like me, you were probably thinking the lid could be used to safely snuff out the fire at the end of the night. The lid makes a nice coffee table when not in useĪnd technically a third function, but we think the lid makes the fire pit look nicer when it’s not in use.
